The State Department's request that Hillary Clinton's former deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, return any work-related emails in her possession went unreceived for two months because of issues with delivery of State's mail and email messages asking for the records, according to Abedin's lawyers.
After the controversy over former secretary of state Clinton's use of a private email account and server for official business erupted in March, Abedin was among 10 current or former State Department officials asked by their former agency to provide any similar messages on their private accounts.
But Abedin's lawyers said she didn't receive that request for more than two months after it was sent on March 11.
"Our ability to respond unfortunately was slowed by circumstances beyond Ms. Abedin's control," Abedin attorneys Karen Dunn and Miguel Rodriguez wrote in a June 29 letter made public in a court filing Thursday. "The Department's initial correspondence, sent by mail and dated March 11 , 2015, was returned undelivered to the Department on April 17, 2015. Similarly, we understand that your office attempted to send an electronic mail copy of that letter to Ms. Abedin, but that email was sent to domains (@clinton.senate.gov and @hillaryclinton.com) that, as of March 2015, had not been active for the past several years."
"Your request ultimately reached Ms. Abedin through counsel on May 19, 2015, when we received your letter via mail, along with the returned envelope and a cover note dated May 12, 2015 explaining that the letter had been returned undelivered. As a consequence, Ms. Abedin received the Department's request for documents more than two months after it was initially intended to reach her," Dunn and Rodriguez wrote.
It's unclear why State Department officials had so much trouble tracking down Abedin, who is currently vice chair of Clinton's presidential campaign. It's also not clear whether State's snail-mail letter was sent to an old address for Abedin, a wrong address for her or was returned for some other reason. The State Department declined to comment on the delay.
The letters filed Thursday in connection with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch (and posted here) indicate that Abedin turned over copies of some records to State beginning on June 9. At least three other Clinton aides, former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Director of Policy Planning Jake Sullivan and communications adviser Philippe Reines have also returned records to the department in response to the same flurry of requests.
For your list.

Harry Reid needs to go to jail too. If someone doesn’t start prosecuting this corruption right now, it will never be contained. Put underlings in jail, away from their families and see how long they continue to cover for the Clintons and the Obamas.

I wish for justice sake it was but no way. After all the Clinton dead pool and money laundering they are untouchable it is proven. Accept it. It will make your reality easier to deal with.
This is such a steaming pile. Why don’t they just tell re to delete them all like her bed bud, hi?
Someone must have left it under Hillary’s Rose Law Firm records.
Appears to be a case of Clintonizing of Justice, or as is commonly known obstruction of justice, but of course being a member of the Clintonistas means never having to say you’re sorry, or suffer any consequences for said obstruction.
Dream on.........
“My Summons was lost in the mail, Your Honor!”
You know, for some reason, that has NEVER worked for me...
How I LOATHE these people. Absolute self-serving, Anti-American, traitorous SCUM of the Earth!
