(2,398 posts)I'm working on a timeline of the whole e-mail scandal. It's 20,000 words long already and growing. Here's one entry you might find interesting:
August 10, 2015: Clinton writes in a statement under oath that she has provided to the State Department all of her work related e-mails that were on her personal e-mail account she used while secretary of state. That statement is a result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch against the State Department. Additionally, Clinton mentions in her statement that her top aide Huma Abedin also had an e-mail account on her clintonemail.com server that "was used at times for government business," but another top aide, Cheryl Mills, did not.

One month later, some more of Clinton's work e-mails from her time as secretary of state will be discovered by the Defense Department.

So she signed an oath saying that she turned over all work related e-mails, and then a month later more work related e-mails showed up! This is just one of many reasons why she's in trouble.
I've found about four different mentions of those 30,000 deleted e-mails later showing up and containing work related material. I suspect there's a lot of work related stuff in those deleted e-mails she just didn't want people to know.
