MR TONER: So just to confirm because we’ve had a lot of incoming on this this morning, as you can imagine – so we can confirm that the FBI material that was handed over to us includes approximately 14,900 documents reflecting both non-record, which is a bureaucratic way to say personal, and record materials, which is a bureaucratic way to say work-related, that will, as you noted, have to be appraised now by our folks here at the State Department. What I can say at this point in time is that there will be a status conference with the court on September 23rd that will discuss the production schedule. And as I think I noted last week, we have already committed – excuse me – voluntarily agreed, in fact, to produce to Judicial Watch any emails sent or received by Secretary Clinton in her official capacity, and that includes within – or rather, within the material, rather, that was turned over by the FBI and which were not already processed by – through our FOIA process. So your question was how soon do you think we can conduct the appraisal.
QUESTION: So why – do you have a clear understanding of why work-related emails would have turned up in the FBI investigation but not have been – and to be more precise, work-related and record in the federal – in the – according to the federal rules on what is a record – why work-related emails, federal records, would have turned up in the FBI’s investigation but would not have been turned over by secretary – former Secretary Clinton’s staff in the first place?
MR TONER: So a couple of points to make there. First of all is since we haven’t had the opportunity yet to make a full assessment and, frankly, even begin our assessment and complete a review of the documents to determine which were work-related, which were personal, we still don’t know – we still don’t have a firm sense of how many of these 14,900 are new, that we haven’t seen before. Granted, that’s a healthy number there, so there’s likely to be quite a few. In response to your – what I think is your question, though, which is why didn’t we have these earlier, all I can say is what former Secretary Clinton has said, which is that she said that she confirmed for the court that she had handed over or believed that she had handed over all of the work-related emails that were contained on clintonemail.com that were in her custody that she believed were potentially federal records, and she provided all of those, as I said, that were in her possession to the department. The FBI, obviously, in the course of its investigation seems to have found other documents. I’m not sure it’s – refer you to the FBI to speak to where they obtained these records from. But I think right now our focus is to move forward with our assessment of these – appraisal of these documents and then figure out how soon we can get them over to Judicial Watch.
QUESTION: But the – if the 14,900 documents include even one work-related federal record, as you say is most likely to be the case, why – should you not have had those already?
MR TONER: Well, again, I think that’s something that we’re looking at internally, and all I can do is refer you to what I just said, which is that Secretary Clinton, as she verified herself to the court, said that she gave to the – over to the State Department all of her work-related emails that were on her server.

How/where did they find them? A random file named backup.zip? Wish they went into more depth, unless i missed something recently. It's hard to keep up with the sheer amount of stuff going on with her right now! In any case, /popcorn

LOL - this is too funny......just came through on my wikileaks twitter feed.........
A US judge has ordered the State Department to review and determine the potential release of 14,900 documents, most of which are believed to be emails to or from Hillary Clinton, that turned up in an FBI investigation of her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
The documents are part of a cache that the FBI turned over to the State Department at the end of its probe into Clinton's use of the server.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation found Clinton was "extremely careless" with sensitive information by using the private server but recommended against bringing charges against her. She has been dogged by questions about the issue throughout her run for the White House.
The State Department could make public the first batch of emails in October, weeks before the Democratic nominee faces Republican rival Donald Trump in the November 8 election. State Department employees are due to craft a timeline for the release at a meeting on September 23.
The revelation of more emails after 55,000 pages of emails were turned over by Clinton last year could provide continued fodder for opponents who have seized on the email issue to charge she is untrustworthy.
The announcement by US District Court Judge James Boasberg, who is overseeing a group of lawsuits seeking to make Clinton's emails public, came the same day a conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, made public a batch of Clinton's emails obtained through a lawsuit.

It's not new. The FBI saw all of this. It's never going to result in her going to jail and as a matter of fact most people are so over the whole email witch hunt and are done wondering if there was ever any reason to go after her in the first place.

Hillary's reply to the new emails?
"We've already released 30,000 plus, so....whats a few more."
She opens her mouth and lies, as usual. She did NOT release these 45,000 emails. All of these were 'found' AFTER she lied and said she had released all her emails.
What, at this point, does it matter.
