In reply to the discussion: Justice Dept. grants immunity to staffer who set up Clinton email server [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request for State department emails from when Clinton was SoS. Those emails contained messages sent to/from addresses that contained @clintonemail.com
That showed Clinton had violated FOIA by not turning over the emails when she stepped down as SoS. Fortunately for Clinton, FOIA does not have a criminal enforcement provision.
So Clinton turned over emails to State that she should have turned over when she stepped down. State and the intelligence agencies did a normal review of the messages before releasing them to Judicial Watch...and found classified.
That triggered an FBI investigation, and resulted in Clinton's entire server being taken by the FBI. The FBI recovered not only the messages she turned over, but messages she deleted.
Judicial Watch has received the non-classified emails they requested under FOIA, minus one email that is not classified but is being withheld by the FBI as part of their investigation.
