Even as the FBI said Tuesday that it would not recommend charging Hillary Clinton for putting her work email on a private server when she was secretary of state, a federal court may have just opened the door to more scrutiny of the Democratic presidential candidate.
The facts of the court ruling -- in the case of another government official -- have little to do with Clinton herself. But the decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit appears to hold significant implications for the presumptive Democratic nominee as she seeks to deflect attention away from her online records and focus her energy on Republican rival Donald Trump.
The D.C. Circuit held in its decision that work email stored privately is still subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. The whole point of FOIA, the court said, is to provide transparency on public officials' behavior while in office. Circumventing that by hosting government documents on non-governmental servers defeats that purpose, Judge David Sentelle said.
In other words, work emails are work emails, no matter where they happen to live or who happens to control access to them.
"It would make as much sense to say that the department head could deprive requestors of hard-copy documents by leaving them in a file at his daughter’s house and then claiming that they are under her control," Sentelle wrote....

Even if someone managed to use FOIA to get her emails directing that money and arms get sent to ISIS (which I believe happened) it still wouldn’t make any difference. Dems would still vote for her, and no prosecutor would have the guts to build a case against her.
we’ll see.
after yesterday, things were foul.
That’s why she wiped her hard drive. Nothing to produce anymore.
In Clinton’s case FOIA requests take what? About 8-10 years?
But that’s only if they ‘get right on it’.

I’m sure Hillary is petrified with fear
Maybe it will be like the Warren Commission...seal the documents for 75 years.
Good luck.
Mexico is less corrupt than today’s USA.
Maybe they will find her indictment with oassholes birth certificate.
Oops.
She’s already deleted them.
Sorry.

Not sure how this ruling will do anything except allow FOIA requests to get some of the emails.
Then what?
Comey has already made his assessment and Lynch concurs.
The compliant sycophants will simply repond to any new revelations as — that has already been cleared by the FBI and DoJ, so move on.
Wait till we learn the FBI did the same.
Yes, and so Mrs. Bill Clinton at the very least, first stole government property and then destroyed government property.
