SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We had Ed Klein on the show last night. He's reporting that people close to Hillary are recommending that she get a criminal defense attorney. Do you think it's going to get that far? 

JAY SEKULOW: I do, I'm surprised she doesn't have one now. Because I think whoever is giving her that advice is absolutely correct. Look, you've got an FBI investigation that Jim Comey is taking seriously, he's the FBI director. There are very serious allegations of what has happened here. We know what's happened, I mean look at the information that we know. You can imagine what the FBI knows a lot more than we know. But what we know is that an unsecured server with an organization that had no security clearance, she also gave the emails and the thumb drive to her lawyer who had no security clearance. And when you put all of this together without even knowing what the FBI knows in much greater detail, Sean, I'm shocked that she does not have a criminal defense attorney because the reality is there is a criminal investigation going on here. And who is the focus of it? Hillary Clinton. Why is she the focus of it? She set up the email to be the separate server. So at the end of the day, you can blame staff. You can say other people did something like it. But the truth is there's not a history of anything like this done this way. And she did this. And she's going to be held accountable. Now whether that becomes a criminal charge ultimately will rest with the attorney general of the United States. Then the Obama administration has to make a decision -- Whether they're going to follow the law. 

HANNITY: What about this development today that this Platte River employee company, the one with the server in the closet, the idea that they were contacted to maintain her secret email server. They became concerned about being roped into a cover-up when they were asked to reduce the amount of data that they were holding after a congressional request for that data. And notes were sent out saying, wait a minute, this may not be a good idea. 

SEKULOW: Because if I was Platte River's lawyer, I would tell them the same thing. Don't start erasing data, don't start changing things, don't start covering up because often the cover-up is the crime. And in a situation that they find themselves in, whether they violate the law or not, is not so much whether they had the server. That wasn't their responsibility. They had a client, they took the client's business, but then if you're asked to do something while there's an ongoing criminal investigation or ongoing congressional oversight, and you start tampering with evidence, you end up looking at an obstruction of justice charge, and that becomes a whole different story. So I can understand why their lawyers at Platte River, said hey don't do that. Don't start messing with the documents you're holding. We've got to find, there's ongoing investigation, subpoenas have probably been issued, you got to be careful. The lawyers gave them good advice.
