Makes me wonder whether NSA is seriously involved. If they were to have vacuumed up and provided all these deleted emails to the FBI in the course of this investigation, that will have been the absolutely most benevolent application of broad surveillance powers I can think of.

The NSA quietly and illegally helping an investigation into a presidential candidate in an election year is pretty much the antithesis of benevolence, regardless of what you think of Hillary. That kind of activity is basically worst-case scenario, war-on-democracy level stuff.
