Not necessarily. Word is that the FBI has ‘undeleted’ most if not all of the emails Hillary THOUGHT she had deleted.

It is my uderstanding they are referring to the documents being screened by the State Department that must be released by court order. The State Deparment will not be able to release them all by the end of the month, the deadline.

I have heard the same reports that the FBI was able to recover the deleted emails. But these are not the same documents that have been ordered released by the courts.

From the article

The decision to withhold the documents in full, and not provide even a partial release with redactions, further undercuts claims by the State Department and the Clinton campaign that none of the intelligence in the emails was classified when it hit Clinton’s personal server.

Fox News is told the emails include intelligence from “special access programs,” or SAP, which is considered beyond “Top Secret.” A Jan. 14 letter, first reported by Fox News, from intelligence community Inspector General Charles McCullough III notified senior intelligence and foreign relations committee leaders that “several dozen emails containing classified information” were determined to be “at the CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, AND TOP SECRET/SAP levels.”

The State Department is trying to finish its review and public release of thousands of Clinton emails, as the Democratic presidential primary contests get underway in early February.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, there is an exemption that allows for highly sensitive, and in this case classified, material to be withheld in full — which means nothing would be released in these cases, not even heavily redacted versions, which has been standard practice with the 1,340 such emails made public so far by the State Department.

According to the Justice Department FOIA website, exemption “B3” allows a carve-out for both the CIA and NSA to withhold “operational files.” Similar provisions also apply to other agencies.

Fox News reported Friday that at least one Clinton email contained information identified as “HCS-O,” which is the code for intelligence from human spying.

Reached for comment by Fox News, a State Department official did not dispute that some emails will never be made public.

Maybe that stupid coniving bitch actually thought she could “wipe her illegal server” with a cloth! The “smartest woman in the world,” what a load of crap!

And those emails would contain the metadata which will tell where and when they came from. They are working now with printed copies.
