> the use of the private email doesn't seem to be relevant to the document release itself, right? That's just the result of a FOI request, because public official's emails are subject to FOI, regardless of where they're stored. I think probably someone would have tried to obtain her emails, whether the server issue came up or not. But as it happened, IIRC the sequence of events leading to the release began when the server issue came up. Also relevant is that because Clinton controlled the server, she originally controlled which emails were deleted as 'personal' and which were released to the public. > do the States not tend to have the same kind of FOI transparency as the Federal Government? Some states, at least, have open records laws. Also, I've seen many governmental organizations adopt the policy of deleting all email after, e.g., 30 days, to reduce 'liability' (transparency). > Is there a similar archive of Jeb Bush's emails from his time as Governor of Florida? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jeb+bush+emails+site%3Anytimes.com https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jeb+bush+emails+site%3Anytimes.com
