There are two things. Administratively, if somebody could have destroyed or erased emails, I don't have any penalty. If we arrive at the conclusion that the documents don't exist anymore, we can make a finding and produce a report. However, if I find that there's reasonable evidence that it was done intentionally to prevent somebody from having access to these documents, my only authority is to refer it to the Attorney General for future investigation.
