1:11:06 No, we don't have any anywhere near all of them. In particular when we want to have her staff you know her immediate staff Uma Abedin what's the Anna Marie Goddard whatever name is and regard our does that her name Cheryl Mills yeah the whole little group there's Yeah how long do you think the State Department has argued it will take Before they have all of those FOIA requests completed for her emails ten years you guys say it's gonna take 75 years I actually did a little digging on this 75 years everybody You want to hear how this is explained? Oh, and I mean oh, you know. I mean that isn't an incredible number but So I can't comment
1:11:57 specifically because it's a matter of ongoing litigation. But I would ask you guys to look at the court filings that do provide the details on why we arrived at that figure, and it's an enormous amount of emails or rather... Sorry, there is enormous amount of FOIA requests. Oh! Is it a lot of emails are not? No just FOIA requests. Fraud. uh... and uh... very complex so this stuff would be released sooner than seventy five years just under the regular again uh... relations is a small volume for one of us longer than most classifications last until well on the stuff that's classified as for twenty seventy-five years
1:12:50 Again, I refer you to the court filing. It's a very broad range involving a number of people over a period of four years and it's not an outlandish estimation believe it or not It's not outlandish. I mean it just, I mean... I refer you to the court filing because of the rationale behind this estimate. Okay well You know what? Go look over there! You know what I did? I went over and looked at the filings understand how they arrived at this is what we do on this show Okay, highlighting. The State Department's initial attempt to identify responsive records indicated that if unaltered those requests would generate approximately 1.5 million pages of potentially responsive records so they've done that work
1:13:40 And I'm always annoyed by the mixing up of... What was the request exactly? If it's for Hillary, she doesn't have that many documents with 1.5 million. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now this is about they have 22,000 FOIA requests and they say just too much at this particular FOIA request which i think was from International Business Times or maybe Judicial Watch Now, here's the problem I have and it's continuously mixed up and then the lawyers do it here. So you know when Hillary Clinton says, ''I've released 50 thousand pages,'' that could be ten emails. Now, I don't know how long your emails are... It just seems verbose Yeah so I'm going to say when they make an attempt to identify responsive records —and they're doing that from Clinton, from Cheryl Mills, from Uma Abedin, from her staff, from her cronies there—you know kind of the inner core
1:14:32 It generated 1.5 million pages, so that could be... I don't believe that! Well we can dispute what they're... this is a court file and we can't dispute it. Uh it would take the State Department decades, it says to process review redact and if necessary refer to other agencies for their review uh then here comes more explanation given the department's current FOIA workload and the complexity of these documents it can process about 500 pages a month That seems pretty low. We got one person doing this? 500 pages a month?!
1:15:08 That's like 10 pages a day? Yeah. Well, no it's more like 12 to 20 but let's say 15... And it's pages! Are these full pages or just one page with a little bit on it? It sounds like one person you're right yeah well here it is that's eight hours work it would take 500 pages a month meaning it would take approximately 16 and two-thirds years to complete the review of the Mills documents 33 and 1 third year To finish the review of this... They get the one third in there as though it's a significant number. Well, they're just dividing the amount of documents by 500 and then divided by 12
1:15:49 or multiple, yeah divided by 12. So 33 and a third years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents. Or 75 years in total without considering requests for the Poglio records so you know... And actually they have uh they refer back to an earlier case FOIA, and here's... so they say because of this, FOIA was enacted to shed light on the activities of the federal government but it was not intended to quote reduce government agencies to full-time investigators on behalf of requesters. And they have a citation for that. Concluding that the agent... yeah concluding that agency need not comply with a FOIA request that would quote require the agency to locate review redact and arrange for inspection a vast quantity of material end quote
1:16:39 Accordingly, the DC Circuit has held that agencies need not comply with FOIA search requests... ...that would impose an unreasonable burden on the agency. With a citation. The RNC's request for years worth of emails from Mills, Sullivan Kennedy and Pagliano would impose just such an impermissible burden." And then the example holding that the CIA did not have to search for records on microfilm because the search would take approximately 3,675 hours at a cost of $147,000. They didn't have to do that thus the State Department need not quote honor these requests so they're it's they're not even saying they got it they're gonna take 75 years to do it they're not gonna do it! They are just NOT going to do it unbelievable yeah well did you say so?
1:17:24 That's right, all classified. Why don't they just say so? We're not going to do it, it's too much, this is ridiculous we can't do this...we have actually a job to do, really this is outrageous. It's like asking us for every document with the word THE in it! Would you like to play your two Hillary clips and then we'll take a break or what do you want? No, let's take a break and I go back to Hillary because they do have a point to make. With that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C with a c stands for cultural anthropologist Dvorak
