The stunning imbroglio of Hillary Clinton's path to The White House took another absurd twist tonight when just hours after The FBI confirmed an "attempt" was made to wipe the hard drive of her email server [5](or in other words, remove all data on it), the former secretary of state seemed to mock the claims in a press conference. When asked specifically if she wiped the server, she 'ummed' and 'ahhed' then jokingly said "what with a cloth or something?"

NBC News quotes an FBI official as being optimistic that data can be recovered. Clinton's campaign told Politifact "work-related emails were deleted after she turned them over to the State Department" last December, which means before she handed the server over to the FBI last month. The exact date is unknown.
The Associated Press reported earlier Tuesday that investigators may be able to discern how secure her email system was, whether its files had been backed up, and if anyone else had accounts on the system.
