How Hillary Clinton and Her Team Decided to Throw Out 31 830 Emails - ABC News

A new Time magazine cover story about the email scandal boiled down the exact process she used in responding to a State Department request for her emails related to official business and pointed out that each individual e-mail was not read.

"This review did not involve opening and reading each email," Time reported. "Instead, Clinton’s lawyers created a list of names and keywords related to her work and searched for those. Slightly more than half the total cache -- 31,830 emails -- did not contain any of the search terms, according to Clinton’s staff, so they were deemed to be 'private, personal records.'”

Time didn't disclose how it determined that each email wasn't opened individually, but it’s consistent with a written explanation provided by Clinton's spokesman after a news conference this week.

Clinton's spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
 
The article also states that Hillary screened by .gov accounts, but we know that at least one of her aides used a clintonemail.com account, which wasn't searched for....

Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin had an email address on the former secretary of state's private server, judging from records maintained by Lexis-Nexis
 
hmmmm, "Benghazi, Bill, Swiss Bank Accounts, any word meaning money in any form, huma, assassination ......"
Under the parameters Hillary used, and considering the number of emails she deleted, there was no way she could have caught all of her official emails.

And deleting just one was a felony.

According to the parameters, Blumenthal was not listed, since he wasn't a State Department employee, so it's a good possibility the search did not find them all before she deliberately wiped her server.

In 2011 and 2012, Hillary Rodham Clintonreceived at least 25 memos about Libya from Sidney Blumenthal, a friend and confidant who at the time was employed by the Clinton Foundation. The memos, written in the style of intelligence cables, make up about a third of the almost 900 pages of emails related to Libya that Mrs. Clinton said she kept on the personal email account she used exclusively as secretary of state.
