Dear Mr. Kendall:
[RELEASE IN FULL!
[REVIEW AUTHORITY: Frank Tumminia, Senior Reviewe
Thank you for your recent conversations with Committee staff regarding Secretary
Hillary Clinton's appearance before the Select Committee on Benghazi.
As we prepare for Secretary Clinton's testimony, we believe there may be documents and
emails from Secretary Clinton relevant to the Committee's inquiry that have not been produced
to the Committee and are likely in her possession. In the most recent document production to .
Congress in August 2014, the State Department, for the first time, produced emails regarding the
Benghazi attack that were sent to and from the address of"hdr22@clintonemail.com." The use
of this email address could explain the relatively small number of emails attributed to Secretary
Clinton produced by the Deparbnent of State relevant to our requests.
The Department was able to identify these newly produced and ostensibly newly
discovered emails because those emails additionally traveled to or from an official State
Department email address. However, the Department has produced only a few of these
documents. The Committee is of course interested in al1 relevant emails related to the state of
Libya before, during, and after the attack on September 11, 2012 regardless of whether those
emails originated from official or non-official accounts. To be clear, the Committee has no
interest in any emails, documents or other tangible things not related to Benghazi. But to the
extent personal email was used to conduct, in any way, official duties we would request those
documents, emails, and other tangible things.
The following summary will aid your understanding of what we have seen in the limited
documents produced thus far.
Examples of Email Usage
In the early morning hours of September 12, 2012, the day after the attack, Sidney
Blumenthal, a longtime friend of Secretary Clinton, sent an email to hdr22@clintonemail.com
regarding Libya. Sent at 12:50 a.m., this email contained the subject "H: Magariaf on attack on
C05 8 45212 FlED

December 2, 2014
Page 2
US in Libya. Sid.'" A second email, sent at 6:16 p.m. later that day, contained the subject "Fwd:
more on Libya.,,2 This second email contained a 4-page document as an attachment. At the
beginning of the document, in all capital letters, was the comment "THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION COMES FROM AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE SOURCE AND SHOULD
BE HANDLED WITH CARE." Later, the document reads:
Source Comment: In the opinion of this individual, Libyan security
officers a1so infonned el Magariaf that the attacks had been planned for
approximately one month. 3
Later that night, Secretary Clinton forwarded both of these emails to Jake SuIJivan, her deputy
chief of stafE She commented, "we should get this around asap.,,4 What further action was
taken by Secretary Clinton or Jake Sullivan regarding this infonnation is unknown.
State Department officials also used the hdr22@clintonemail.com address as a means to
share infonnation about Benghazi with Secretary Clinton. On September 14, 2012, Cheryl Mills,
Secretary Clinton's chief of staff, forwarded an article to this non-fovernment address with the
subject "Fw: pretty powerful piece on standing up for diplomats." On September 15,2012,
Mills again em ailed Secretary Clinton's private address, this time forwarding an article titled
"US intelligence warned embassy in Egypt of concern about anti-Muslim film.,,6 The article had
originally been sent from State Department Press Secretary Victoria Nul and to several high-level
State Department officials, including Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, Under Secretary Patrick
Kennedy, and Assistant Secretary Eric Boswell, just ten minutes earlier. 7 Notwithstanding that
the article was sent to these individuals' official State Department email addresses, it was
subsequently forwarded to Secretary Clinton's private email address. This suggests that this
private address could have been used wit~ some frequency while conducting official State
Department business.
Other top State Department officials also sent official communications to
hdr22@clintonemail.com. For example, on September 16,2012, the day that U.S. Ambassador
to the United Nations Susan Rice appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows, Jake Sullivan
emailed Secretary Clinton a transoript from Rice's appearance on Meet the Press, with the
comment "Good.,,8 Clinton responded three minutes later from this address. 9 Two weeks later

Sullivan again emailedClinton.sPcrivateaddress.this time to forward the CIA's final
unclassified talking points to her. 0
Secretary Clinton not only used her hdr22@clintonemail.com address to receive
iDfonnatioD, but also to email her top aides at the State Department. On September 11,2012,
just minutes after the attack on the Annex took place in Benghazi, Secretary Clinton emailed
Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, and Victoria Nuland from her private email address regarding
Ambassador Chris Stevens. She wrote:
Cheryl told me the Libyans confirmed his death. Should we announce
tonight or wait until moming?lI
On September 26, 2012, Clinton emailed Jake Sullivan regarding a New York Times
article. Clinton wrote:
Well, this is a stretch beyond what I said or intended, but I don't think we
need to say more. Do you agree? 12
Finally, in our review of the State Department production of records, it appears that at
least one other top State Department official also had a private email address at the
@clintonemail.com domain address that may have been used for official business. On
September 13, 2012, Secretary Clinton's official schedule for the following day was sent to
nearly twenty people on private email domains. 13 One such individual was the Secretary's
deputy chief of staff, with the email being sent to her ..@clintonemail.com .. address rather than
an official government email address.
Given Secretary Clinton's known usage of a private email address, coupled with the
paucity of documents to or from Secretary Clinton produced by the State Department, I have a
reasonable belief that there may be relevant infonnation regarding Benghazi that was transmitted
through private email addresses used by State Department officials, information that has not been
captured or retained on State Department networks or produced to Congress.
pocument Request
As we prepare for Secretary Clinton's testimony before the Select Committee, it is
imperative that we have a full picture of what iJ:}fonnation Secretary Clinton had, and what
actions she took, regarding Libya. The State Department has not provided all of the requisite
Email from Jacob Sullivan to Hillary Clinton (Sept. 27,2012, 12:28 p.m.) [State Dept. Document #C05579952].
Email from Hillary Clinton to Jacob Sullivan et a!. (Sept. 11,2012, 11:38 p.m.) [State Dept. Document
#C05622916]. The subject of the email is "Chris Smith," the first name of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the last
name of Sean Smith, the State Department Information Management Officer who also died in the attack on the
Special Mission Compound. Given the fact that Smith had been declared dead hours earlier and Ambassador
Stevens was missing, this email conversation was likely regarding Ambassador Chris Stevens.
12 Email from Hillary Clinton to Jacob Sullivan (Sept. 26,2012,3:30 p.m.) [State Dept. Document #C05561922].
13 Email from Lona Valmoro to Lona Valmoro and S_S-Final Schedule (Sept. 13,2012,4:50 p.m.) [State Dept.

documents on this matter, and this Committee needs access to all of Secretary Clinton's emails
on these topics. Therefore, we see two potential ways for the Committee to have a full and
complete account of these emails; first, to work through you, or second to work through the
domain host of ..@clintonemail.com... My strong preference is not to request production from a
third-party in this matter, and I am hopeful you are able to provide the Committee the documents
we need.
Therefore, please provide, as soon as possible but no later than December 31, 2014, any
and all documents and communications referring or relating to a) Libya (including but not
limited to Benghazi and Tripoli), andlor b) weapons located or found in, imported or brought
into, andlor exported or removed from Libya, authored by, sent to, or received by the email
address ..hdr22@clintonemail.com.. between January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012.
Accessing the private email account of individuals is not something I undertake lightly.
However, given the minimal documents produced by the State Department to date on this matter
and the seemingly frequent usage of this email address by Secretary Clinton, it is necessary for
the Committee to take the step of asking you to produce emails that fall within the scope of the
Committee's mandate.
An attachment to this Jetter provides additional information about responding to this
request. When producing documents to the Committee, please deliver production sets to the
Majority Staffin Room 1036 of the Longworth House Office Building, and the Minority Staffin
Room B241 of the Longworth House Office Building. The production of documents should be
in electronic format.
Please contact the Committee's Staff Director, Phil Kiko, at (202) 226-7100 with any
questions regarding this request. I look forWard to working further with you on this matter.

Dear Mr. Kendall,
.REVIEW AUTHORITY: Frank Tumminia. Senior Reviewe ~
I am writing in reference to the approximately 55,000 pages of electronic mail

that were identified as potential federal records and produced on behalf of former
Secretary Clinton to the Department of State on December 5,2014 in response to
its request for assistance under the Federal Records Act.
We understand that Secretary Clinton would like to continue to retain copies of
the documents to assist her in responding to congressional and related inquiries
regarding the documents and her tenure as head of the Department. The
Department has consulted with the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) and believes that permitting Secretary Clinton continued access to the
documents is in the public in~erest as it will help promote informed discussion.
Accordingly, Secretary Clinton may retain copies of the documents provided that:
access is limited to Secretary Clinton and those directly assisting her in responding
to such inquiries; steps are taken to safeguard the documents against loss or
unauthorized access; the documents are not released without written authorization
by the Department; and there is agreement to return the documents to the
Department upon request. Additionally, following NARA's counsel, we ask that,
to the extent the documents are stored electronically, they continue to'be preserved
in their electronic format. In the event that State Department reviewers determine
that any document or documents is/are classified, additional steps will be required
to safeguard and protect the information. Please note that if Secretary Clinton
wishes to release any document or portion thereof, the Department must approve
such release and first review the document for information that may be protected
from disclosure for privilege, privacy or other reasons.

GregAs you are aware, we have been dealing with the turnover of former Secretary Clinton's e-mails. In the first tranche of
e-mails there was one that was subsequently classified. We so advised Mrs. Clinton's lawyer who in turn advised us
that he had received preservation requests from the Select Committee on Benghazi and the IGs from State and the IC
and so needed to keep the e-mail.
The U/S write back (6/19/15) letter asking for a POC with whom Department could work to ensure that the e-mail (and
any subsequently upgraded e-mails were being secured appropriately. The June 22 letter provides the name of the POCo
Please ask the appropriate OS subject matter experts to contact Ms. Turner to arrange for appointment to do a thorough
security review to include physical security of area/safe in which document/electronic versions are being kept, who has
access to the area/safe, do those individuals have appropriate clearances, when the electronic version is uploaded on a
computer is it a stand-alone computer, when the disk/thumb drive is removed is any residual information deleted from
the computer and any other appropriate questions.
This review/Inspection needs to be carried out as soon as possible.
Please keep me in the loop re appointment timing and results of the inspection.

Dear Mr. Kendall:
IRELEASE IN FULLI
IREVIEW AUTHORITY: Frank Tumminia, Senior Reviewe~
I am writing in reference to the following e-mail that is among the approximately 55,000 pages
that were identified as potential federal records and produced on behalf of former Secretary
Clinton to the Department of State on December 5, 2014: E-mail forwarded by Jacob Sullivan
to Secretary Clinton on November 18,2012 at 8:44 pm (Subject: Fw: FYI- Report of arrests possible Benghazi connection).
.
Please be advised that today the above referenced e-mail, which previously was unclassified, has
been classified as "Secret" pursuant to Section 1.7(d) of Executive Order 13526 in connection
with a review and release under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In order to safeguard
and protect the classified infonnation, I ask - consistent with my letter to you dated March 23,
2015 - that you, Secretary Clinton and others assisting her in responding to congressional and
related inquiries coordinate in taking the steps set forth below. A copy ofthe document as
redacted under the FOIA is attached to assist you in your search.
Electronic Records
I) Consistent with my March 23 letter, and to the extent the documents are stored electronically,
please copy onto a digital video disc (DVD) or compact disc (CD) the approximately 55,000
pages. If available, the Department would ask that the documents be provided in native
electronic fonnat with the associated metadata. These steps are in accordance with counsel
we have received from the National Archives and Records Administration.
2) Once the copy has been made place the disc(s) in a brown envelope, seal it, address it to
Richard Visek, Deputy Legal Adviser, U.S. Department of State, Washington, D.C., and
mark the word "SECRET" on the outside of that envelope. Once that is done, please notify
us and we will pick up the envelope from your office.
Non-Electronic Copies
1) Please locate any non-electronic copies of the classified document in your possession.
2) Place any copies of the document that you locate in a brown envelope, seal it, address it to
CO 5 845450 ;IED u.s. Department of State Case No. F-2015-05048 Doc No. C05845450 Date: 02/04/2016
Finally, please note that the classification of this document pursuant to Executive Order 13526,
Section 1. 7(d), does not in itself indicate that any person previously acted improperly with
respect to the document or the information contained therein.
If you should have any questions regarding the steps set forth above, please contact Richard
Visek in the Office of the Legal Adviser. In the meantime, I ask that you confirm receipt of this
letter as soon as possible.

Dear Ms. Grafeld:
I am in receipt of your letter of April 2, 2015, responding to the National Archives and Records
Administration's (NARA) formal request of March 3, 2015, that you provide us with the report
required in 36 CFR 1230.14 concerning the potential alienation of Federal email records created
and received by former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton.
I appreciate the details you have provided to date; however, recognizing that the situation
continues to be fluid, there are currently two major questions or concerns that the Department
needs to address.
First, in your response you described and forwarded key policy directives issued by the
Department in 2014, on records management in general, including specific guidance related to
the management of email and other electronic records of senior agency officials. Related to these
policies, I am requesting additional infonnation on how the Department implemented these
directives with senior officials. More specifically, we would like to understand the specific
training, procedures, and other controls the Department employed to ensure the key directives
were implemented. This will allow NARA to evaluate whether there are appropriate safeguards
in place to prevent the alienation of records from occuning in the future.
Second, as we have discussed, I would like to reiterate our request that the Department contact
the representatives of fonner Secretary Clinton to secure the native electronic versions with
associated metadata of the approximately 55,000 hard copy pages of emails provided to the

Department. If the Department is unable to obtain the electronic versions of these messages from
Secretary Clinton, I am requesting that the Department inquire with the internet service or email
provider of former Secretary Clinton, and also of former Secretary Powell, with regard to
whether it is still possible to retrieve the email records that may still be present on their servers.
As stated in the OMBINARA M-12-18 Managing Government Records Directive, Federal
agencies are required by the end of 20 16 to maintain all electronic records, including email.in
their native electronic format to facilitate active use and future access.
I am aware that there are multiple ongoing inquiries into the details of this case, including by
Congressional oversight committees and the Department's Inspector General, which may already
be addressing the requests that I have made. I would therefore appreciate continuing updates on
the current status of these activities to the extent possible, particularly where the investigations
may reveal that the collection Secretary Clinton provided to the Department is incomplete. I also
look forward to receiving copies of the final reports of all such investigations, as well as the
Department's plans for corrective action. This documentation will assist us in understanding this
situation and the Department plans to ensure a comparable situation will not happen in the future.
In closing, I would like to convey my appreciation for the Department's efforts in following up
with the representatives of the. former Secretary on the many concerns that have surfaced in the
past several months. We share many of the Department's concerns and stand ready to provide
advice when needed on the records management issues that arise.
I look forward to receiving your response and appreciate your continued attention to this matter.

Dear Ms. Grafeld:
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is concerned with the events
outlined in the March 2,2015, New York Times article by Michael S. Schmidt regarding the
potential alienation of Federal email records created or received by fonner Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton. The article also suggests potential issues with the Federal email records
created or received by fonner Secretaries of State dating back to Secretary Madeleine K.
Albright.
Based on this article and other news reports, NARA is concerned that Federal records may have
been alienated from the Department of State's official recordkeeping systems.
Pursuant to your Department's responsibilities under 44 U.S.C. Chapter 31 and NARA's
authorities in 44 U.S.C. Chapter 29, we request that the Department of State explore this matter
and provide NARA a report of how these records were managed and the current status of these
records.
We request that you provide us with a report as required and described in 36 CFR 1230.14 within
30 days of the date of this letter.
If Federal records have been alienated, please describe all measures the Department has taken, or
expects to take, to retrieve the alienated records. Please also include a description of all
safeguards established to prevent records alienation incidents from happening in the future.
Please also provide NARA all guidance and directives disseminated within the Department that
address the management of email records, including those records created using personal email
accounts.

Dear Mr. Kendall:

I am writing in reference to the following e-mail that is among the approximately 55,000 pages
that were identified as potential federal records and produced on behalf of former Secretary
Clinton to the Department of State on December 5,2014: E-mail forwarded by Jacob Sullivan
to Secretary Clinton on November 18,2012 at 8:44 pm (Subject: Fw: FYI- Report of arrestspossible Benghazi connection).
Please be advised that today the above referenced e-mail, which previously was unclassified, has
been classified as "Secret" pursuant to Section I. 7(d) of Executive Order 13526 in connection
with a review and release under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In order to safeguard
and protect the classified information, I ask - consistent with my letter to you dated March 23,
2015 - that you, Secretary Clinton and others assisting her in responding to congressional and
related inquiries coordinate in taking the steps set forth below. A copy of the document as
redacted under the FOIA is attached to assist you in your search.
Electronic Records
I) Consistent with my March 23 letter, and to the extent the documents are stored electronically,
please copy onto a digital video disc (DVD) or compact disc (CD) the approximately 55,000
pages. If available, the Department would ask that the documents be provided in native
electronic fonnat with the associated metadata. These steps are in accordance with counsel
we have received from the National Archives and Records Administration.
2) Once the copy has been made place the disc(s) in a brown envelope, seal it, address it to
us and we will pick up the envelope from your office. Additionally, please empty your
Deleted Items folder.
Non-Electronic Copies
1) Please locate any non-electronic copies of the classified document in your possession.
2) Place any copies of the document that you locate in a brown envelope, seal it, address it to
co 5 8 4 5 7 72FIED
Finally, please note that the classification of this document pursuant to Executive Order 13526,
Section 1.7(d), does not in itself indicate that any person previously acted improperly with
respect to the document or the information contained therein.
If you should have any questions regarding the steps set forth above, please contact Richard
Visek in the Office of the Legal Adviser. In the meantime, I ask that you confirm receipt of this
letter as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,

Mr. Kendall,
Thank you for your response.
The May 26, 2015 Letter requested that "Secretary Clinton take appropriate measures to preserve any media in her
possession, custody or control that might have contained, at any time, Federal Government data or records./I Your
response does not address that request.
Please provide a response at your earliest convenience. In the event that the Secretary agrees to preserve the media in
question, please provide details describing the measures that have been or will be taken, and identify the individuals
and/or organizations responsible for undertaking such measures.
Very truly yours,
David Z. Seide

Dear Messrs linick and McCullough:
This will confirm receipt of your Jetter dated May 26, 2015. As personal counsel to former Secretary Clinton, we will
take reasonable steps to preserve any federal government data or records currently in her possession, generated during
her tenure as Secretary of State and to retain any devices used to store such data or records during this period. As you
note in your letter, the former Secretary produced to the State Department in December 2014 approximately 55,000
pages of such documents. This was the result of a comprehensive review by her personal counsel to identify any workrelated or potentially work-related emails from her personal email account. This process erred on the side of overinclusiveness, as indicated by the fact that a review by the National Archives and Records Administration recently
confirmed the State Department's determination that 1246 of the approximately 30,000 emails the former Secretary
had produced were not federal records but were in fact personal in nature. I am not aware of any further federal
records to be produced, but in the event we identify such records, we will produce them.

Dear Mr. Seide:
I write as personal counsel to fonner Secretary Clinton in response to your June 9
e-mail request for additional details regarding our preservation efforts related to Secretary
Clinton's work~related e-mail from her tenure as Secretary of State.
I note at the outset that the Department of State is in possession of all of Secretary
Clinton's work-related and potentially work-related e-mails. SpecificaUy, in response to
an October 2014 letter request from the Department of State, Secretary Clinton's counsel
identified all work-related or potentially work-related e-mail in her possession, custody,
or control. In total, 30,490 e-mails, all of which were from her
.
@clintonemail.com account, were identified and provided in hard copy to the Department
of State in December 2014. As her personal counsel, we continue to retain a preservation
copy of the .pst fiJe containing the electronic copies of those e-mails, on a thumb drive
that is stored in a secured safe at the offices of Williams & Connolly LLP, 72S 12th
Street NW, Washington DC 20005. The only two persons authorized to access that
thumb drive are me and my law partner, Katherine Turner.
In addition, we have taken steps to retain the server equipment that hosted
Secretaiy Clinton's @clintonemail.com accOlmt during her tenure as Secretary of State,
even though that equipment is no longer active and, we believe, no longer contains any
data from Secretary Clinton's @clintonemail.com account. The equipment is in the
custody of Platte River Networks and is maintained at a secure data center. In response
to preservation notices related to Secretary Clinton's e~mail received that I have received

I will be able to get that to you, to the best of its availability. Given the volume, it

I'm happy to show you in person on your computer the following, but here is how you make such editing changes to
have a single editor color and change the User Name:
When in a document, under the Review tab, the "Track Changes" square, click the small black down arrow in the lower
right corner of that square.
Click "Change Tracking Options"
On the pop-up screen Track Changes Options, on the upper right:
o change the Insertions color from "By author" to whatever single color you prefer. (I chose blue.,
o Also, change to the same for the Deletions color. (Again, I chose blue.)
o On that same screen, 2/3 down the screen, unclick the Track Formatting box. This is key to avoiding the
many formatting comments that clutter the document.
Click OK.
Go back to the "Track Changes" square, and again click the small drop down arrow.
Click "Change User Name ... "
Change User name to whatever you want. (I typed in "Legal".)
Change Initials to whatever you want. (I typed in "Legal".)
Click OK.

Rich,
I figured you were playing catch up earlier this week, so I didn't want to bother you with this. I'm not In the office, so
don't want to mis-state the exact date. We'll prepare a few points with details.
At my request, Paul Wester, the Chief Records Officer for the USG, came to SA-e this morning to meet with Bill Fischer
(the Depaetment's Records Officer) to take a preliminary look at those emails from the 55K collection that our Bill
appraised as personal in their entirety; he's also taking a look at the welldocumented appraisal guidelines and process
we developed and implemented. (FYI: this exercise does not include the hybrid emails which are, of course, deemed
records.)
Will be in touch on Monday with the details for your follow-up letter. Until then, enjoy the beautiful spring weekend.

Peggy

Phil,
Thanks for the press clips. We hope you had a lovely holiday weekend, but worry that because this email came in the
middle of it, perhaps you did not. One additional development to the items below is a response to NARA that State sent
last week. Would you like us to work on getting you a copy? Also, are you available for a call today with me and Julia to
discuss next steps and what we can accomplish this week?
Best,
Kate

Julia/Kate - per our discussion, I wanted to give you a short list of articles that highlight the State
Department's dealings with the press. A number of the issues addressed in the articles offer data points
via the private email controversy of which our Committee was not aware. As I said need we need to
move forward and a delineation of discussions between your Dept and HRC representatives would
greatly move that ball forward. Thank you again. Phil

State Department Has Libya Emails Clinton Did Not Produce

BYLINE: By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
SECTION: Section A; Column 0; National Desk; Pg. 18
LENGTH: 845 words
WASHINGTON -- The State Department said on Thursday that 15 emails sent or received by Hillary Rodham Clinton were missing
from records that she has turned over, raising new questions about whether she deleted work-related emails from the private account
she used exclusively while in office.
The disclosure appeared to open the door for RepUblicans on Capitol Hill to get more deeply involved in the issue. Senator Lindsey
Graham, Republican of South Carolina, who is running for president, said he planned to send a series of questions to the State
Department about the missing emails and about why it allowed her to use the personal account.
CO 5 8 4 3 400 :IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2015-05048 Doc No. C05843400 Date:
02/04/2016
Republicans said that the State Department's statement was likely to increase pressure on the House speaker, John A. Boehner of
Ohio, to subpoena the server in Mrs. Clinton's home that housed the account.
Mrs. Clinton has said that she gave the State Department about 50,000 pages of emails that she deemed to be related to her work as
secretary of state and deleted roughly the same number. She said the messages sJle deleted were personal, relating to topics like yoga,
family vacations and her mother's funeral.
Her longtime confidant and adviser Sidney Blumenthal, responding two weeks ago to a su.bpoena from the House cOmmittee
investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, gave it dozens of cmails he had exchanged with Mrs. Clinton when she was in
otl'ice. Mr. Blumenthal did not work at the State Department at the time, but he routinely provided her with intelligence memos about
Libya, some with dubious information, which Mrs. Clinton circulated to her deputies.
State Department officials then crosschecked the emails from Mr. Blumenthal with the ones Mrs. Clinton had handed over and
discovered that she had not provided nine of them and portions of six others.
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, who is running for president, said that she had given the State Department "over 55,000
pages of materials," including "all emails in her possession from Mr. Blumentllal."
The chairman of the House committee, Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, said that many of the em ails that Mrs. Clinton
had not handed over showed that "she was soliciting and regularly corresponding with Sidney Blumenthal, who was passing un vetted
intelligence information about Libya ITom a source with a financial interest in the country."
"It just so happens these emails directly contradict her public statement that the messages froin Blumenthal were unsolicited," he said.
Mr. Blumenthal identified the source of his information as Tyler Drumheller, a former high-ranking C.I.A. official, according to a
person with knowledge of his testimony to the Benghazi panel. Mr. Drumheller was part of a group that sought to do business in
Libya.
Supporters of Mrs. Clinton have argued that the committee's mission has crept far beyond its original scope: to investigate the
Benghazi attacks, which killed fOUT Americans including Ambassador 1. Christopher Stevens. Republican committee members have
said that they are within their right to look into her email use because the resolution that created the panel directed tllem to examine
how the administration complied with previous inquiries into the attacks. Mrs. Clinton'S emails relating to the attacks were not
handed over to any of the panels conducting those inquiries.
Other panels in Congress may consider investigaling the matter. Mr. Graham, who oversees a Senate subcommittee with sway over
the State Department's budget, said that the department "seems to have a system that is not working very well" in regards to its
production of documents to Congress.
"I'm going to ask them whether they think Mrs. Clinton has handed over everything she should and what they are going to do about it,"
he said. "And if they give me runaround responses, we'll drag them up on Capitol Hill and make them answer these questions in
public."
While the State Department acknowledged that it did not have several of Mrs. Clinton's emails, it also told the Benghazi committee
that it had not turned over other messages of hers. The department said that it had not done so because the contents of those messages
fell outside the requests made by the committee.
"The State Department is working diligently to review and publish the 55,000 pages of emails we received from former Secretary
Clinton," it said in a statement.
That statement is unlikely to satisfy the committee, which believes it has been clear in its requests. Members of the panel have
contended that the State Department has withheld documents to protect Mrs. Clinton and grind the investigation to a halt. State
Department officials have said that one of the reasons it has taken so long to produce documents is that the department's recordkeeping system is cumbersome. They have also said that the committee has not been specific enough in its requests.

Hillary Clinton Benghazi emails withheld from State, panel says

BYLINE: By Stephen Dinan, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
SECTION: POLITICS
LENGTH: 690 words
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't turn over all of her work-related emails to the department despite her claims
to have done so, the Benghazi investigative committee charged Thursday in a statement raising new questions about the Democratic
presidential candidate's email practices.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican and the Benghazi panel chainnan, said the State Department informed his panel that it
did not have in its possession some emails related to Benghazi and Libya that Mrs. Clinton had exchanged with longtime confidant
Sidney Blumenthal, and which he turned over to the committee.
If true, it suggests that Mrs. Cl'inton either did not perform a fuJI search, intentionally shielded some messages, or had some other
hiccup when she claimed to have belatedly complied with federal law and turned back to the department some 30,000 messages from
her time as secretary.
The Associated Press said there were 15 messages that the State Department said it couldn't find in its own records that Mrs. Clinton
provided.
"This confirms doubts about the completeness of Clinton's self-selected public record and raises serious questions about her decision
to erase her personal server - especially before it could be analyzed by an independent, neutral third-party arbiter," Mr. Gowdy said.
Mrs. Clinton set up her own email server at one of her homes, in New York, and used an account she issued herself, rather than an
account on State Department servers, to conduct business during her four years in office.
She said the arrangement was done out of convenience.
Federal law requires that officials ensure their emails, which are considered potential government records be stored on official servers
for archival purposes. Mrs. Clinton did not comply with that requirement until nearly two years after she left office, and only after the
Benghazi investigative panel discovered her unique email arrangement.
At a dramatic press conference and in follow-up communications from her attorney, she said she had gone through all of her messages
and decided which of the more than 60,000 from that period were personal and which were related to government business.
She said she found 30,000 that she deemed official and turned them over to the State Department in paper fonn. She said another
32,000 were private and she expunged them, then wiped her server clean.
co 5 8 4 3 400 :IED
A court has ordered the department to make all of the official messag~s public, and the department had already turned over several
hundred related to Benghazi and Libya more generally, so the committee could complete its probe into the terrorist. attacks of Sept. 11,
2012, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
However, Mr. Gowdy said, the cmails Mr. Blumenthal exchanged with Mrs. Clinton during her time in office were business-related
but weren't part of the set that the State Department sent.
He demanded that the department say whether it had withheld the emails.orwhetherMrs.Clinlon never turned them over in the fITst
place.
The messages Mr. Blumenthal produced also contradict Mrs. Clinton's claim that his advice was "unsolicited."
"This has implications far beyond Libya, Benghazi and our committee's work. This conclusively shows her email arrangement with
herself, which was then vetted by her own lawyers, has resulted in an incomplete public record," Mr. Gowdy said.
The messages in question don't go to the heart of the Benghazi attack, Democrats said.
Mrs. Clinton'S presidential campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night, nor did a spokesman for
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Benghazi committee.
A Clinton campaign spokesman told The Associated Press that they believe she fulfilled her obligations.
"She has turned over 55,000 pages of materials to the State Department, including all emails in her possession from Mr. Blumenthal,"
spokesman Nick Merrill told the wire service.
They also questioned whether some ofthe messages Mr. Blumenthal turned over were really emails, saying they appeared to be
formatted as other types of documents.

She said she found 30,000 that she deemed official and turned them over to the State Department in paper form. She said another
32,000 were private and she expunged them, then wiped her server clean.
A court has ordered the department to make all of the official messages public, and the department had already turned over several
hundred related to Benghazi and Libya more generally, so the committee cou.ld complete its probe into the terrorist attacks of Sept. II,
2012, which killed Ambassador J. Chfistopher Stevens and three other Americans.
However, Mr. Gowdy said, the cmllils Mr. Blumenthal exchanged with Mrs. Clinton during her time in office were business-related
but weren't part of the set that the State Department sent.
He demanded that the department say whether it had withheld the emails, or whether Mrs. Clinton never turned them over in the first
place.
The messages Mr. Blumenthal produced also contradict Mrs. Clinton's claim that his advice was "unsolicited."
"This has implications far beyond Libya, Benghazi and our committee's work. This conclusively shows her email arrangement with
herself, which was then vetted by her own lawyers, has resulted in an incomplete public record," Mr. Gowdy said.
The messages in question don't go to the heart of the Benghazi attack, Democrats said.

Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night, nor did a spokesman for
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Benghazi committee.
A Clinton campaign spokesman told The Associated Press that they believe she fulfilled her obligations.
"She has turned over 55,000 pages of materials to the State Department, including all emails in her possession from Mr. Blumenthal,"
spokesman Nick Merrill told the wire service.
They also questioned whether some of the messages Mr. Blumenthal turned over were really em ails, saying they appeared to be
formatted as other types of documents.

'Greg -
As you are aware, we have been dealing with the turnover of former Secretary Clinton's e-mails. In the first tranche of
e-mails there was one that was subsequently classified. We so advised Mrs. Clinton's lawyer who in turn advised us
that he had received preservation requests from the Select Committee on Benghazi and the IGs from State and the Ie
The U/S write back (6/19/15) letter asking for a poe with whom Department could work to ensure that the e-mail (and
any subsequently upgraded e-mails were being secured appropriately. The June 22 letter provides the name of the POe.
This review/inspection needs to be carried out as soon as possible.
Please keep me in the loop re appointment timing and results of the inspection .
Thanks you.

HRC Email Coverage
I just had a very cordial 45 minute conversation with Paul Wester regarding the press coverage of the HRC email
personal account 'and State records, focusing on State actions and those NARA will take today.
I explained to Paul the environment in which State operates (and the bifurcated management of recor~s for principals vs
the rest of the Department), as well as steps that M and others have initiated to ensure that we are compliant with laws
and regulations.
In short, we can ex ect a letter from Paul to me later today covering the alienation (a legal term of art) of the former
