FBI Destroyed Clinton Staffer Cheryl Mills' Laptop After Limited Search

Peculiar new details have come to light regarding the immunity deals given to Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff, and Heather Samuelson, an ex-campaign staffer.

According to Fox News sources, side-deals were cut in addition to Mills' and Samuelson's overall immunity deals. One side-deal dictated that the FBI only be allowed to review documents on Mills' and Samuelson's laptops generated prior to January 31, 2015--over a month before Clinton's private email server became public knowledge. Even stranger, in a second side-deal, the FBI was ordered to destroy the laptops after their search was complete.

Is this real life?

Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch in which he asks two salient questions:

"Doesn’t the willingness of Ms. Mills and Ms. Samuelson to have their laptops destroyed by the FBI contradict their claim that the laptops could have been withheld because they contained non-relevant, privileged information? If so, doesn’t that undermine the claim that the side agreements were necessary?"

It's destruction of potential evidence. None of us common folk would ever get such a deal.

I have no problem with them destroying the laptops, so long as they maintain chain of custody records and have verified copies of all of the contents of the hard drives.
