After being ordered to turn over the content of that private server to the committee investigating Benghazi, Clinton’s lawyers hastily deleted almost 15,000 emails and claimed they were not connected to official government business.

After Judicial Watch lawyer Ramona Cotca pressed for details, Judge Mehta ordered the government to file a report with the court by Sept 6, disclosing precisely how many previously documents fall under Judicial Watch’s demand and a schedule for their release. The hearing was part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative group that has filed federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuits seeking the disclosure of Clinton’s emails.
We don’t yet know the content of Clinton’s deleted emails, but we do know two things: She set up the private server right after she promised to abide by strict ethics rules to avoid the appearance of selling influence.
Among the questions are who “recommended” that she use a secret email account in the first place, whether she ever told the officials responsible for archiving records that she had the secret account, and what steps she took after attempts to hack her account.
After the system’s existence became more widely known, Clinton returned what she said were all her work emails to the State Department in 2014, and the department released them in batches to the public, an estimated 30,000 in all. Judge Sullivan ordered the State Department to release all remaining documents responsive to our FOIA request by no later than September 30, 2016.
Hillary and her people lied about turning over all the emails.
Following the discovery of 30 emails on Hillary Clinton’s private email server that could be related to the attack in Benghazi, Libya, Donald Trump’s campaign has a question.
The investigation into that one Hillary Clinton controversy has now uncovered more information about that other Hillary Clinton controversy. These personal emails, Clinton has said, included irrelevant material such as “planning Chelsea’s wedding or [Clinton’s] mother’s funeral arrangements”, “yoga routines”, and “family vacations”. “I’m confident you can get it done by the 6th”.
According to the Hill, FBI Director James Comey said in July that Clinton’s lawyers relied on header information and search terms to look through the emails for work-related messages.
During the investigation, the agency interviewed Clinton for several hours at FBI headquarters in Washington just days before announcing its decision to close the investigation.
