The release of emails from Hillary Clinton’s top aides when she was Secretary of State could be a long time coming — as in, 75 years. That’s how long the U.S. State Department said it will take to fulfill a Freedom of Information Act request for 450,000 pages of emails from Clinton’s former aides, CNN reported Monday.
The Republican National Committee filed the FOIA request in December, asking for the emails from three of Clinton’s aides — Cheryl Mills, Jacob Sullivan and Patrick Kennedy.
In March, the RNC sued the State Department for allegedly stalling on the request.

Corruption defined.
It's hard to arrest Satan.
Most transparent administration ever.
What's humorous is that it actually has been. What minor transparency problems the Obama administration has had pales in comparison to the bull**** that Bush and Cheney pulled.

Do you have any clue how long it takes to not only read 450,000 pages of email, but get a decision on what if anything with in them might need to be redacted? For conservatives who seem to think government is incredibly slow and inefficient you seem to have a very high expectation of expediency on a request of this magnitude.

No, they'd still have to read them and redact them regardless of what server they were on.All of which could have been avoided if all emails were on government servers.
But 75 years?
At an average of 23 documents per day that is how long it would take. May not seem like a lot, but keep in mind how many different agencies have to go over each document and approve them. Also realize that they would be working on other things as well. There are countless freedom of information requests that are made every day. Do we have to put them all on hold for just this one? Maybe if you allowed them to hire some staff specifically for this project it could get done sooner, but then republicans would have to let government create jobs via regulation and of course that's a no-no.

How much time do you think Hillary's top aids spent writing those emails?
No, they'd still have to read them and redact them regardless of what server they were on.
If that's the chaotic mess that having a server outside the State Department has caused, is this not treason by it's very nature?
No. If they had been on the state provided public server, there would be no issue with Hillary's private server.
Writing them is easy, especially when they potentially have many many staff members. Having them each read, by multiple agencies and have them make decisions about what can be released and what must be redacted is a much more difficult job. Her staff likely also sent a lot of emails on weekends, where as the people doing the redacting likely wouldn't be working weekends.
Depending on if you count Clinton herself she would only need 10 aids to write 30 emails per day, seven days a week for 4 years to reach that total.
Having a server outside the State Department did not cause this. 450,000 emails would take forever to read regardless of what server they were stored upon.
