Is it possible to delete the emails on another computer other than your own?

I keep hearing Hillary haters talking about all those emails she deleted but do not emails have to be sent or received from another computer?

So, if Hillary indeed deleted all those emails, would they not be on another computer (or computers) if she sent them "CC" or to another person?

Emails are not destroyed. They can only be removed from a computer. And removing them from one computer does not remove them from all computers.

So, would it not make more sense, if you were doing an investigation, to search the emails of those in her address book whom she may have communicated with or who may have communicated with her?

Just a thought. Republicans seem to be certain she committed some type of crime and that is why she deleted her emails. Have they really thought this through?

I do a lot of remote work and can do anything on a remote system I can do on the system I am currently using. Everything but change out the hardware.

Or if the system has another form of transmission-communication (satellite). The PC has to have some kind of ability to connect to the outside world.

IMO, HRC would have committed a crime if she knowingly covered up evidence to show there was intent to cover up a crime. Nobody has ever shown clear evidence that she did any illegal and they won't. The FBI dropping this case speaks to the fact this was all just another GOP witch hunt.

Why didn't they care when Powell was doing the same thing? The issue was never even brought up when Kerry was SoS. The GOP already admitted LIVE ON TV that everything they are doing - is to shorten HRC political career.

And they should be indited themselves for abusing the office of government, for private political gain.

Every morning I get to work and push the cup holder button on my computer. Out it comes and usually stays there until I mistakenly touch it and it goes back in.

My dry cleaning bills are outrageous and I get a lot of funny looks around the office.

You have to 'manually lock' the cup holder in place...I know I know, decades of upgrades and that POS STILL won't stay out!

The reason why it is known how many messages were unrecoverable from Clinton's server is BECAUSE those emails were sent or copied to .gov email addresses. Hence, there were a number of emails which WERE obtained from the State Department which were not recovered from Clinton's server.

investigators should look at every piece of mail sent from Clinton's computer on the TARGET computer to find that message and subpoena THATcomputer in order to review it.

And you thought a year was a long investigation.

*if* there were others sent and subsequently deleted that were not cc'd to a know .gov account, while they would probably be out there, you would need to know to whom they were sent to even begin looking for them

James Comey said they pieced together about 50 email chains and came up with over 100 single emails in the process. These were the emails that had classified information.

rights to do so.

Also, it would depend upon the State Dept.'s email archiving system on whether they would have those emails or not from the other custodians.

Any emails that she didn't send (think drafts) could be deleted by her.
