FBI officials will hand over the first of "tens of thousands" of deleted emails from Hillary Clinton's private server on Friday to the State Department, government lawyers told a court Monday.
Judge Emmet Sullivan of U.S. District Court questioned State Department attorneys on why the agency would not receive the documents until several weeks after the Clinton email investigation had been closed.
"I don't understand the need for all this time," Sullivan said during a hearing Monday on whether Clinton should submit for a deposition in a Freedom of Information Act case.
Agency attorneys said the delay was due to the format of the emails, some of which have been deleted from the multiple servers Clinton used during her tenure.
Clinton's attorneys have argued that the depositions of her top aides, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, should be sufficient to address Judicial Watch's lingering questions.
But the legal team for the conservative group has pointed to gaps in the testimony given by members of Clinton's inner circle. None of the six aides who testified could explain how or why the email network was initially set up.

Would, not 'could'............................
No Turkey’s here. They all have been cleaned and the relationship with Huma and dissident Iman living in PA has been wiped clean from all of the emails.

How can they hand over what has been deleted? Are these recovered deletions they are handing over so the State Department can delete them permanently?
The same way the emperor wears deleted clothes.
State can’t turn over her e-mails for 27 months but the Feebs can turn over deleted e-mails by Friday.
In light of what has transpired, what was the point of giving immunity to server guy(Bryan Pagliano) ? and what info, if any, was gained from it ?
Comey is a DISHONOR and disgrace to America and our Constitution. He should RESIGN immediately.
Why is State in need of these emails?
Are they now concerned about keeping government records?
“Comey is a DISHONOR and disgrace to America and our Constitution. He should RESIGN immediately. “
To be replaced by Sheriff David Clarke when Trump assumes the Presidency! I loved watchin him rip that AA turd on CNN! Sheriff Clarke epiromizes what a LEO should be!
Oh, how I wish that Queen Hillary would favor me with some of her deleted e-mails.
They would be like sweet nectar.
Maybe I could ask her little lapdog Come Here Comey for some.
He betrayed his country. The least he could do is send me a few of Queen Hillary’s messages.
So, they have the evidence she tried to destroy... how nice that the destruction of evidence isn’t a crime in and of itself.
Testifying before Congress, AG Lynch dodged, bobbed, and weaved on a simple question:
Is it illegal to hand off classified materials to someone who does not hold a security clearance?
Demand Congress follow-up using these questions (hat tip SERKIT):
<><>Hillary was allowed to disclose classified data to others not holding security clearances, including her inner circle, her own attorneys and other aides outside the State Department.
<><> Are there documents that Hillary's inner circle were shown that the Congressional Committee is not allowed to see?
<><> Can the Congressional committee see those same documents, un- redacted, as Hillary showed them to others?
<><> Since there was no criminal intent on Hillary's part (according to Comey), and criminal intent is required (according to Comey), what criminal intent would be necessary to show the oversight Committee the same documents?
<><> Why can't the Congressional committee see everything?
<><> What if Hillary gave those documents to the Committee - would that simply be careless....... or would it be criminal?
<><> would Comey give Congress a pass? (hat tip SERKIT)
State Dept is under court order to turn over Clinton’s emails to various plaintiffs in FOIA lawsuits. Because Clinton violated the law by operating a private server, didn’t turn in all materials for archiving as required, and deleted tens of thousands of unarchived messages, State did not have the messages to turn over.
FBI helped Hillary by dragging out their fake investigation and claiming they couldn’t release anything during an active cover-up, oops, investigation. Their new mission is to delay release past the DemConv or even the election. They particularly do not want Judicial Watch to have the materials to review before deposing Hillary. I assume the material will have been sanitized before the FBI or DoS releases anything.
I disagree good sir!
If Comey recommended an indictment the legal proceedings would have went long past the election. However, Hillary would have then stopped her nomination for president. Obama would have used his influence at the convention to put in "Slow Joe Biden." Beware of Slow Joe as he is not slow but has a poor public persona. He is a street fighter with a sharp knife. He knows what he is doing.
Comey fell on his sword of integrity and died. However, his speech before not recommending indictment was an indictment that spelled out her multiple criminal acts.
Before Comey fell on his sword he stabbed Hillary, Lynch, and Obama in the back. If he had recommended an indictment he could not have made the non indictment speech as it would taint a trial.
Do you not find it odd that neither Hillary, Obama, or Lynch has commented on Comey's non indictment of Hillary.
Comey has made himself a pariah, which is a lot like a martyr but it hurts a hell of a lot more.
I assure you after Comey's non indictment indictment, Lynch, Obama, and Hillary in unison said, "OH Sh-t"!
Why bother? she has already been exonerated.
Gobble Gobble Gobble..... Turkey is Roasting .
What is State going to do with the emails other then put them in a shredder followed by a urn bag. Nothing to see here citizens...move along
Sorry but Comey should NOT have based his decision on what other “reasonable” prosecutors would’ve done. That is DEFLECTION BULLCR*P and of ALL people he is the one at the top who SHOULD make his decision independent of other people and REGARDLESS THE CONSEQUENCES.
