1) Nothing in that article talked about getting the exchanges wiped.
2) That the records are there means they were not wiped.
I got the wrong article in my link-grab when I went back to write this. But still, you did not read this. The second from last paragraph does relate to Nellie Ohr saying she was deleting all the emails related to Steele from the DOJ record. This is, actually, a crime. The FOIA requires our government, including the FBI, CIA, and the DOJ to keep the records of their work. They can be put on a time-delay denying release to the public, but they have to be kept. They can be classified as secret for reason, but they have to be kept. And they have to brought out when a judge gives the order, perhaps under seal, in a criminal case. That is, if "law" means anything anymore, and we are not flying by the seat of our arrogant pants because we have all the right people working together to get stuff done "right".
"Arrogance of Power" is where a tyrant, or anyone with enough power, can with confidence ignore the law. And often, do so demonstratively, to show anyone who would question his/her power, that he can do just that.
Your fav b-aitch/ witch Hillary is a confessed criminal just looking at what she said on the news when asked about wiping her server. It was illegal to have that server, let alone be doing business like that to evade FOIA law. That Comey claimed no one would prosecute Hillary was a boast that she can't be touched by mere laws.
You know damn well that our media would be making holy hell if Trump did anything like that, or any official in the Trump executive branch, were doing things in their official positions to help spy on a political opponent, or start fake scandals by leaking a few tidbits of false information to a complicit press.
You and Red have spent literally years of your lives pushing such false narratives, but you hide behind technicalities responding to me when I call you out for it, when you can, or ignore it if you can't find something useful to cover your ***.
The whole "Resistance" thing against Pres Trump is, and always has been, an "Arrogance of Power" operation to deny the political process to American people who don't want your agenda, who believe sincerely in the progressive elitist "cause" for globalism enough to consider the American Constitution and American law to be less worthy of power than your faithful agenda masters.
In doing all this, the truth is that those who support it do not believe in elections having real meaning, that people should have enough power to direct their government, or even that any little people should actually have human rights....... well, not really......not when it matters.
The hard truth is, governments can and do really exercise aggressive denials of human rights, whatever the form or political claims of the government officials. They always do, and always will. The only hope we have of actually having any human rights is to have constitutional or legal provisions for pushing back against such bureaucratic and tyrannical facets of human impulses exercised in any governance scheme.
If people can not so obtain redress from tyrants in peaceful ways, it is the American Exceptionalist idea that perhaps we can win political influence by countering government force as we did in the American Revolution. I don't like that method, which is why I will do all I can with words and ideas, and generally live as good laws, or existing laws, otherwise require. Until, lets say, there is no other means of working for human liberty or human rights.
King George, some say, lost his mind. I disagree in the substance of the assertion, because I know that what he lost was his power. His offenses on the score of "Arrogance of Power" were politically forced by important financial interests who were insisting on the colonies being exploited on their terms. I'd consider it the same problem if Trump were so vulnerable to interests, but I know...... and you damn well know...... Joe Biden is.
