2. No. He simply isn't evidence for your claim

3. In the preface to the book, Hegel stated: "The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk,” meaning that philosophy comes to understand a historical condition just as it passes away.

4. This is just nonsense. Nothing is unusual about the use of penance in that sentence and nothing religious is implied.

The FBI was able to review her deleted emails

The FBI was only able to see the emails that they recovered from her and humas devices. They are unable to see emails which have been wiped and not contained on either device. They cannot "undelete" emails in this particular instance.

So no, the FBI did not read her emails in their entirety.

I agree. But they recovered thousands of them from her server (not just her devices) and found nothing significant in those either. The theory was the ones she deleted must be so terrible she had to delete them. This where you find her child-trafficking, lesbianism, bribery, enemies murdering acts, and all the other fantasies people have in their heads and the emails showed none of that. It wasn't just a handful of emails either, they recovered 17,000.

The State Department has confirmed she had the right to delete personal emails. Only emails that qualify as a government record needed to be turned over. People act like the very act of deletion is an indication of guilt and it is not.

See your main problem is assuming I think the cause of her guilt is indicated by her deletion - when her deletion is actually her admission. Under federal subpoena by congress she illegally deleted federal records. This - in itself - is enough to charge her. When congress requests emails "in their entirety" what do you think this entitles them to? Some of them? Stop moving the goalpost when she clearly disobeyed congress multiple times by withholding.

Now of course that begs the question why you would go to those lengths to delete the emails if they were merely personal, risking repercussion congressionally - you can see why someone might expect foul play. Maybe the contents of the emails are worse than the possibility of being held in contempt of congress?

She was not under subpoena when she asked that her personal records be deleted. That subpoena came four months later i

Dec. 5, 2014: Clinton’s team provides 55,000 pages of emails, or about 30,000 individual emails, to the State Department. Mills tells an employee at Platte River Networks, which managed the server, that Clinton does not need to retain any emails older than 60 days.
