If HRC wins the general, can she get her server back from the FBI?

**A GD moderator specifically told me to move this post to GDP**

She implemented her private server since she didn't like using (or didn't know how to use) the classified secure network. If she wins the general election, she will need the server back so that she can conduct presidential business. Is it in the president's power to order the FBI to return personal property?

My question is about the president's legal powers with regards to the FBI. If you don't have any knowledge in that area then I thank you for the kick, and have a nice day.

Good one, I will give you that. But still the question remains: how will president hillary be able to respond to emails without a private server??

None of the other cabinet members had their servers confiscated.

Poor thing, she is always the victim.

Quick -- let's send her some money so she can buy an new server!!

Free Hillary's private, unsecure server!

Return it to her and allow the next Secretary of State to hook it up in their basement and use it!

Every cabinet-level government official should be able to send classified and Top Secret information over vulnerable private email servers that sit in their basements next to the cat-litter box.

This sounds like a terrific idea!

The old server worked fast enough, she would obviously want it back

I can see us going by way of Greece with that friend to banksters. Yes, being above the law is likely the plan.

Since the Republicans will be running the same gambit as they did with Obama and any Democrat by throwing as much shit as they can, regardless of who it is.

I suspect that they'll go after her even harder since they don't have to "try" to avoid looking like they're being mean to the black man. Republican violence against women is pretty much accepted by far too many people so they'll feel emboldened. We're going to see a lot of it this summer and fall.
