Hillary Clinton turns in ‘blank’ email server to investigators

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton has complied with the Justice Department requests for her server — by turning over a hunk of junk.

The much-sought-after server “was blank,” said Barbara Wells, a lawyer representing the Denver-based computer firm Platte River Networks, who managed the server for Clinton.

“The information had been migrated over to a different server for purposes of transition,” Wells told the Washington Post. “To my knowledge the data on the old server is not available now on any servers or devices in Platte River Network’s control.”

The statement jibes with what outside computer experts told The Post — that by deleting content, Clinton has likely thwarted investigators who are trying to recover her records.

“We now know that we didn’t get all the relevant documents from that server and the American people are entitled to them,” said Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), a member of the House Benghazi committee.

The Justice Department is investigating whether classified information passed through the server or was improperly stored.

Clinton says no emails were marked classified at the time, but some may have been upgraded since.

She turned over 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department she printed from the server and announced earlier this year that the rest had been erased.

Missing emails have been identified by the House Benghazi committee and now an independent inspector general says at least two of those emails were “top-secret.”

Clinton’s email arrangement was “regrettable,” said Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists.

“It was a mistake,” he said of the private arrangement.
