Hey look! The media will likely ignore, but amongst the Hillary Clinton e-mails there were deleted, there are some Benghazi related. So much for Clinton’s Yoga and Chelsea’s Wedding BS line.

The State Department revealed Benghazi related material was found in searches of the approximately 14,900 deleted Hillary Clinton emails recovered by the FBI that were sent to State as potentially work-related.
The news that Benghazi docs are in the deleted Clinton emails was contained in an August 23 court filing in a Freedom of Information Act case about the 2012 Benghazi terror attack filed by Judicial Watch.
Defendant Department of State (“State”) submits this status report to (1) update the Court
on its search for records potentially responsive to FOIA Request 1 among information
transferred from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) to State, and (2) propose a
production schedule for the non-exempt portions of responsive documents subject to FOIA.1. FOIA Request 1 seeks “[a]ny and all emails of former Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton concerning, regarding, or relating to the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.” Complaint ¶ 5 (ECF No. 1). To date, State has produced to
Plaintiff, via its FOIA web site and via email, a total of 343 documents responsive to FOIA
Request 1, with redactions as appropriate…4. State is currently working to determine whether any of the documents that
satisfied the search terms are agency records responsive to Plaintiff’s FOIA request. It must then
review those documents to determine what, if any, exempt information must be withheld from
the responsive documents. Accordingly, State proposes a rolling production schedule, under
which State would make its first production of any non-exempt responsive records subject to
FOIA on September 30, 2016, and complete production no later than October 31, 2016.”
