46. No, the same situation would have occurred. They would have seen the exact same emails --

just from the .gov server -- and the same parts of them would have been redacted or withheld.

She had a secure SCIF at home and at work for classified emails. The private server only substituted for her .gov account, and the Rethugs wanted to see ALL those emails, wherever they were. But releasing those emails with redacted parts would have pointed any hackers to the important paragraphs.

You are forgetting that we KNOW that hundreds of thousands of .gov emails were hacked. And we know that other State employees, including Kerry, had some retroactively classified info on their .gov accounts.

So this problem could occur with almost any large State Department FOIA request, regardless of the server used.
