In reply to the discussion: State Dept.: 75-year wait for Clinton aide emails [View all]karynnj
(61,071 posts)As they are asked for ALL emails, what exactly do you want to sort. They need to examine each email, redact anything that the State Department needs to redact and to look at whether any info came from other departments. if so, send it to that department to determine if more needs redaction. (I have never worked on anything like this nor am I a lawyer. This is just from the descriptions of process for the Clinton emails.)
YOU may disagree, but the people charged with doing the job need to follow the rules. You might be willing to ignore the down side of having a less careful process - the release of names or information that should not be made public. What seems clear is that this is a very very tedious and difficult job.
Where having the emails searchable helps is if the requests are LIMITED. The RNC request seems to be for all email from these aides - and it involves 450,000 pages of email in total.
