The State Department's request that Hillary Clinton's former deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, return any work-related emails in her possession went unreceived for two months because of issues with delivery of State's mail and email messages asking for the records, according to Abedin's lawyers.
After the controversy over former secretary of state Clinton's use of a private email account and server for official business erupted in March, Abedin was among 10 current or former State Department officials asked by their former agency to provide any similar messages on their private accounts.
But Abedin's lawyers said she didn't receive that request for more than two months after it was sent on March 11.
"Our ability to respond unfortunately was slowed by circumstances beyond Ms. Abedin's control," Abedin attorneys Karen Dunn and Miguel Rodriguez wrote in a June 29 letter made public in a court filing Thursday. "The Department's initial correspondence, sent by mail and dated March 11 , 2015, was returned undelivered to the Department on April 17, 2015. Similarly, we understand that your office attempted to send an electronic mail copy of that letter to Ms. Abedin, but that email was sent to domains (@clinton.senate.gov and @hillaryclinton.com) that, as of March 2015, had not been active for the past several years."

So, the State Department has time to negotiate a rotten deal with Iran, to facilitate regime change in Ukraine, and to promote war with Russia, but can't figure out how to expeditiously send a demand for illegally retained emails in Huma's possession? Have these dumbasses never heard of something called a subpoena? Do they want us to believe that a government which spies on all of its citizens doesn't know how to contact its former senior employees?
SSDD - The US government is a criminal enterprise, manipulated by the few at the expense of the many.
