Hilary Responded To Request For Her Emails By Delivering, NOT ELECTRONIC FILES, But 55,000 Pages, PRINTED OUT
That way it is almost impossible to provide particular emails for FOIA requests.
From Ace of Spades:
Like a mobster paying his bail in nickels -- the Clintons are gangsters and, as criminals tend to be, are innately contemptuous of the law.
Why did Mrs. Clinton have her staff go through the trouble of printing out, boxing and shipping 50,000 or 55,000 pages instead of just sending a copy of the electronic record?
One can only speculate, but there is an obvious advantage:
Printed files are less informative and far harder to search than the electronic originals. Because State has only printouts of emails, department personnel responding to a Freedom of Information Act request have to go through the whole haystack rather than type "needle" into a search engine.
At best, that would mean long delays in FOIA compliance. Likewise, printouts are not subject to electronic discovery in the event of investigation or lawsuit.
The Times reports that department lawyers responding to a request from the House Select Committee on Benghazi took two months to find "roughly 900 pages pertaining to the Benghazi attacks."
And printouts do not include electronic "metadata," which can provide crucial forensic evidence.
I'm sure this is all just an accident.
