>> we got these also from huma abedin. don't know if this is the state department record or huma abedin record.s on mrs. clintonl system and she was also using other emails to communicate. i'm not quite sure if the state department had all this. but it's pretty clear the state department to be fair to mrs. clinton has a bunch of clinton email they may not have released yet. we know there are dozens they have just gotten. where are the emails. this is why federal court junes granted us discovery to find out about how the system was used so we can and the american people can get all the document their due under the freedom of information act and any other investigation. martha: what you a always hear from the government and from the clinton camp is we turned over thousands of document. what more do you want? we turned over thousands of emails. but it's completely irrelevant to turn over thousands of emails if you with hold even one or two that might point to the answer that is being sought. i just want to put one more quote
