Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Info lawsuit in July 2014 in search of data from Clinton and her prime State Division employees about talks on a US outpost in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Walker himself took to Twitter after the speech to respond to Clinton, tweaking her use of private jets and including a photo of him riding a motorcycle.
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC in a rare half-hour televised national interview with Clinton asked her how she feels when likely Republican and Democratic voters in a Quinnipiac Poll used words such as “liar”, “untrustworthy” and “crooked” to describe her. Well, said Hillary, “It certainly doesn’t make me feel good“. Messages she sent before April 12, 2009 are also missing from the 55,000 printed pages she made available to State Department lawyers.
Hillary Clinton’s defense in the email scandal received a boost this week when the Justice Department – the same Justice Department that is investigating the email affair – told a court it has no reason to suspect Clinton either deleted or failed to produce any emails under request by congressional or public-interest investigators. “All the information we have is in that the server was not wiped”. He endorsed her as a candidate and a women’s rights activist, mentioning his wife and three daughters.
Last week, the Justice Department claimed that Clinton did not do anything wrong by setting up her “home-brew” email system.
According to Judicial Watch, the documents obtained showed a “key State Department official did not want a written record of issues about the Clinton emails”.
Clinton and her advisers have said for months that she deleted her personal correspondence from her time as secretary of state, creating the impression that 31,000 e-mails were gone forever. But experts say, depending on the condition of the server, underlying data can remain on the device and the emails can often be restored.
In a legal showdown between Judicial Watch and the government, the Justice Department asserted just recently that Mrs. Clinton had the right to erase personal emails. In June 2013, that job was turned over to Platte River Networks, a Colorado firm. “But in retrospect, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts – one for personal, one for work-related emails”, Clinton told ABC. Previously Clinton was adamantly against apologizing insisting, “What I did was allowed”. But instead of acknowledging that same fact she insults our intelligence with legal jargon and procedural explanations as to what she thought was allowed – technically. A State Department official was vague about precise actions. The FBI has also taken possession of the server, which Clinton resisted giving up until last month.

Interestingly, Clinton did take a modicum of responsibility in her initial press conference on the issue in March at the United Nations.
