In one of the many "investigations" into Benghazi it was disclosed that HRC was using a private email server, in her home, for Secretary of State business. (Which was recommended she do by Colin Powell, as he had done prior to her, and as Condalezza(sp?) Rice had done prior to him, and which was not illegal at the time... although it has since been made illegal) The Benghazi committee subpoenaed all "work related" emails from HRC's private server.

So, Clinton's being Clinton's, and wanting to maintain a level of privacy, she hired an outside law firm to go through all the emails archived on the server and remove all the personal, private emails.

THOSE are the ones they are talking about when they claim they want to see the "deleted" emails.

The ones the law firm regarded as work-related were handed over to the Benghazi committee... etc.
