The State Department said it would take 75 years for the release of emails from top aides to Hillary Clinton while she was serving as secretary of State.
Lawyers said it would take that long to compile the 450,000 pages of records from former Clinton aides Cheryl Mills, Jacob Sullivan and Patrick Kennedy, according to a court filing from last week, which was first reported by CNN .
"Given the Department's current [Freedom of Information Act] (FOIA) workload and the complexity of these documents, it can process about 500 pages a month, meaning it would take approximately 16-and-2/3 years to complete the review of the Mills documents, 33-and-1/3 years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents, and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents -- or 75 years in total," the State Department said in the filing.
In March, the Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a pair of lawsuits requesting the release of emails and records from Clinton and her top aides during and after her time at the State Department.
“The Obama administration has failed to comply with records requests in a timely manner as required by law,” Chairman Reince Priebus said in a March statement, noting that the RNC had previously requested the documents from State last October and December.
Priebus cited the FOIA, under which the suits were filed, in calling for full disclosure of the email records.
On Monday, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau declined to comment about the RNC’s lawsuit, CNN reported, but noted that FOIA requests have increased exponentially since 2008 and explained the difficulty of keeping up with the requests with current staffing and resources.
"The volume of FOIA requests received by the Department has tripled since 2008. In fiscal year 2015 alone we received approximately 22,000 FOIA requests," Trudeau said. "The requests are also frequently more complex and seek larger volumes of documents, requiring significantly more time, resources, and interagency coordination. While we have increased staffing for our FOIA office, our available resources are still nonetheless constrained."

“Now I’m getting angry...”
Ohhhh don’t do thhhhat. You could offffend someone.
Well, if they can’t straighten this up then she should be disqualified from office until they can.... and indicted.
She’s a frikkin’ traitorous witch.
Maybe IBM’s Watson should stop showing off on TV ads and get to work.
Better get started then.
I “sanitized” a “Secret” State Department report in about 10 minutes, then gave it to a government official to send through channels to get it ready for a FOIA declassified status. It was done in two weeks, and this was a wartime document, not some emails about a wedding.
I wouldn’t trust this State Department to review and declassify a roll of plain white toilet paper.
Better get started. But there's plenty of time. They can count them from prison.
Only took a couple of years to cut the classified label and paste them.
Did it take her 75 years to write all those e-mails?
Nothing like prison to focus the mind.

Here is what they are effectively saying:
Hey Judge, we don’t care what the law is, and we don’t care you order us to do, we ain’t producing no stinking e-mails!
Here is what I would do if I were the judge:
You have 3 weeks to produce ALL the e-mails. First week after that, 1 million per day fine. Second week, 10 million per day fine. 3rd week, 100 million a day fine. 4th week, fine continues, and one State Department employee per day goes to jail until all the e-mails are produced. Etc.
That’s what I was thinking.
And that doesn’t even cover the 30,000 missing emails...
Lies.
Turn over the drive.
Or just ask Guccifer for the files.
Watergate was a media coup.
Second, what's up with the judge not releasing the emails till after the election? The American people have a right to know, especially before the election. They’ve had a very long time to do this. The longer they wait, the closer to the election it will get if they are concerned with the impact. And they should be concerned with the impact!

“The remains of the late Hillary Clinton were indicted today by an attorney general who hadn’t been born when her crimes were committed.”
