State Dept: Clinton Emails should be Available in Year 2091


Anybody hoping that all of Hillary Clinton’s emails will be available before November’s election needs to lower their expectations — a lot.  In fact, according to the State Department, there could be 18 more presidential elections by the time they have compiled and released all of the former secretary of state’s emails.

The State Department claims it would take 75 years to compile the 450,000 pages of emails between Hillary Clinton and her top aides, meaning it will be able to satisfy two Freedom of Information Act lawsuits from the Republican National Committee no later than 2091.

“Given the Department’s current [Freedom of Information Act] workload and the complexity of these documents, it can process about 500 pages a month, meaning it would take approximately 16-and-2/3 years to complete the review of the Mills documents, 33-and-1/3 years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents, and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents – or 75 years in total,” said a filing from the State Department to the FOIA court, as related by The Hill.

“The volume of FOIA requests received by the Department has tripled since 2008,” complained State Dept. spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau. “In fiscal year 2015 alone we received approximately 22,000 FOIA requests.

Given the administration’s recent record with expunging information that they find damaging or embarrassing, the content of those emails may never see the light of day.  Either way, don’t hold your breath waiting for them; 75 years is a long time.
