Judge Orders New Searches For Clinton Benghazi Emails
Politico ^ | 08/09/2017

Nine months after the presidential election was decided, a federal judge is ordering the State Department to try again to find emails Hillary Clinton wrote about the Benghazi attack.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the State Department had not done enough to try to track down messages Clinton may have sent about the assault on the U.S. diplomatic compound on Sept. 11, 2012 — an attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

In response to Freedom of Information Act requests, State searched the roughly 30,000 messages Clinton turned over to her former agency at its request in December 2014 after officials searching for Benghazi-related records realized she had used a personal email account during her four-year tenure as secretary.

But what if Hillary used an alias, such as Loretta Lynch did?

We know Chelsea used an alias sometimes.

If aliases are involved, will increased searching find them?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The election has nothing to do with the crimes committed.
Hillary lied about Benghazi. She destroyed evidence.
She obstructed justice.

I smell a Rat, a DemoRat.

The judge is an Obama guy.

If they ask for any additional info and there is none, the judge and Hitlery may declare her exonerated, clean as fresh snow and ready to challenge Trump again.

I can understand the Judge doing that. They have to locate them so they can destroy them.

For those who have never experienced the pleasures of electronic discovery, 30,000 emails ought to take one person about 3 months, or 50 folks about a couple of days to screen and tag. Long email strings are a bit slower, but proper electronic sorting can offset that.

Sort of like the ACLJ asking the FBI for any documents relating to the tarmac meeting and the FBI responding that no records were located ( only to find out later through a DOJ request that there were 420 pages of documents )

And there is the rub. It all depends on the search strings they decide to use.Like with Comey and the Weiner emails he went through over the weekend.He decided what specific terms to search for and came up with "nothing".

I wasn’t thinking so much the searching (they probably had a private code instead of using real names, so I doubt a search would help) but sorting and grouping (and de-duping).
