6. Hillary had the server wiped. How much could anyone tell after that?

It was smart to wipe it after she was done with it, but how much could anyone tell after that?

The FBI tried to piece together fragments of e-mails that were left after the wiping, but they had real trouble with that.

How could they find evidence that it had been hacked or not?

I don't know anything about computers, so perhaps you could educate me.
