The more than half-dozen Freedom of Information Act lawsuits pending against the State Department will expose thousands of documents related to Clinton’s time as secretary of state now that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has relinquished control of roughly 14,900 emails recovered from Clinton’s private server.

The State Department couldn’t say how numerous 30-odd emails previously have been made public, raising the possibility that some were among the 55,000 pages of emails already provided to the State Department by Mrs. Clinton’s attorneys and released to the public.
The State Department has said it will need until the end of September to review the new emails before their release.
The FBI’s notes on their investigation into Clinton’s emails, including interviews with her and her staff, could be released as early as Wednesday.

In a separate development Tuesday, Judicial Watch submitted 25 questions to Clinton about her 2009 decision to rely on a private server in the basement of her NY home rather than a government email account.
