against crime, and
Reaffirming their determination to enhance legal assistance in criminal matters,
Have agreed as follows:
"1. The Parties shall provide to each other, in accordance with this Treaty,
comprehensive mutual legal assistance in criminal matters.
2. For the purposes of this Treaty, legal assistance in criminal matters shall mean any
assistance provided by the Parties in connection with: prevention, suppression, and
investigation of crimes; criminal prosecutions; and other proceedings related to such
criminal matters.
3. Legal assistance shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty
where the conduct that is the subject of the request constitutes a crime under the laws of

where the conduct that is the subject of the request would not constitute a crime under
the laws of the Requested Party.

So by "Law" IF the Russians HAVE her emails they are OBLIGATED to provide them to the pertinent parties.
