You're talking about Hillary Clinton, right? That's literally one of the arguments they used against her.

In other words, crimes were probably committed but the FBI dropped the investigation because they figured that no prosecutor would file charges in the case.
I would hope so, since presumably the storage devices on that server would either be resold or sent to a dump.
The info on those storage devices (assuming backups/existence of that data elsewhere for government data retention purposes) should not be let out into the wild.
In fact, I (and I don't work/exist in areas with confidential data) have a dozen or so hard drives that sit in a closet as I don't have the interface cards (any more) to hook them up and securely delete the data.
Eventually I'll probably purchase a bulk eraser[0], but until then, those disks will sit in my closet as my business is my business and no one else's.

On sale, now only $3,990.00 (previously $6,999.99).
An interesting idea and one I hadn't considered. Thanks!
I made a cool spiral chandelier out of fishing wire and hard drive parts. The platters don't chime as harmoniously as I had hoped, but it still worked out great - and I have enough super fridge magnets to last the rest of my life.
