So does Patrick know whether Hillary deleted pertinent e-mails while subject to congressional investigation?
THE NYT REPORTED 3/27/15: Clintons review (and erasing?) of her emails did not occur when she was secretary of state ......or even shortly after she left office.
Last October, nearly two years after she left office, the State Department sent her a letter requesting all government records, like emails, she may have possessed. In response, she provided the State Department in December with about 30,000 printed emails that she said were government records. She has said that an additional 30,000 emails were personal.
It appears Clinton still has copies of the emails she deemed public records. Attached to Mr. Kendalls letter was one sent to him by the State Department this week.
A letter from the Undersecretary of State for Management, Patrick F. Kennedy, said that the State Department understood that Hillary wanted to keep copies of those documents.
Mr. Kennedy said that the agency had consulted with the National Archives, and that allowing her access to the documents is in the public interest as it will promote informed discussion as she responds to congressional and other inquiries.
The above is from a Fox story from yesterday - here.
