Clinton Spox Claims to Not Know What It Means to "Wipe" a Server

[Martha Stewart Went To Jail For Much Less]

Hillary Clinton’s chief spokesman, Brian Fallon, today echoed
his employer in claiming ignorance about what it means to “wipe”
a server. When Ed Henry asked the DNC front-runner whether she
wiped her secret server, Clinton infamously replied, “Like with
a cloth?”

Today Fallon found himself in a heated exchange with CNN’s
Brianna Keilar, who wanted to know why Clinton wiped her server
clean, while only preserving e-mails in PDF format. FALLON: So,
the Justice Department, in addition to having the electronic
form of the PDFs provided to the State Department, they also now
have the server. I don’t know what the FBI is going to do with
it, but they may seek — KEILAR: — the wiped server — FALLON: “ —
Anytime of operation on it, but — ” KEILAR: “ — The wiped
server, right, Brian?” FALLON: “I don’t know what “wiped” means.
The e-mails were deleted. The e-mails were deleted — ” Fallon
then repeated the talking point: The Justice Department asked
for them in electronic form, she provided them — PDFs on a thumb
drive, she provided them. She also provided the server. I don’t
know what “wiped” means. Literally the e-mails were deleted off
the server, that’s true, but it’s quite possible, I don’t know
that any steps were taken to remove any metadata.
