Trey Gowdy is alleging that Hillary asked for two EXTRA weeks to respond for a request for documents and after those two weeks she claims that all emails were deleted from her private server. Yes, supposedly those emails were deleted during those requested two weeks and the server has been wiped clean.
Is Hillary still an officer of the court? Does it matter? Unfit to serve if Gowdy's allegations are true.

#2: If she involved another party in the deleting/erasing process, then she will throw their asses under the bus and there is a high likelihood that the third-party will want to make a deal for some immunity to discuss the matter.
#3: The strategy of getting this crime out of the way sufficiently before the primaries/general election so that people will forget it and she can say it was old news, will not work unless she produces the material and "moves on." UNLESS she knows it is a violation of the law and she believes she will be prosecuted BEFORE the elections ... so in that case .... the closer it comes to the elections the easier she can claim it was only for "political" reasons.
#4: I felt like the announcement by Cruz would take her criminal activity off the front page, but she keeps putting herself back out there. Clintonistic!
Gowdy wants the data, but from a prosecutor's point of view it doesn't matter ....
.....possessing and destroying is the same for a conviction, but under the Federal sentencing guidelines the act of destroying that which you were not supposed to have in the first place will add sentencing "points" to the assessment/evaluation by a Judge.
