Why did the State Department ask for assistance in collecting records? Why did the State Department need assistance in further meeting its requirements under the Federal Records Act?
The State Department formally requested the assistance of the four previous former Secretaries in a letter to their representatives dated October 28, 2014, to help in further meeting the Departments requirements under the Federal Records Act.
The letter stated that in September 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued new guidance clarifying records management responsibilities regarding the use of personal email accounts for government business.
While this guidance was issued after all four former Secretaries had departed office, the Department decided to ensure its records were as complete as possible and sought copies of work emails sent or received by the Secretaries on their own accounts.

No, they asked her once. She didn't resist. But it took a month to go through 55,000 emails.

It took them five weeks from the time the letter was sent. And there was no official

The only thing we know for sure is that an official written request was sent on October 28.

I don't think the Times was the only news source that reported on the Summer negotiations.

After all, your source is Clinton's own website, and therefore completely trustworthy

Please prove that it isn't accurate that the first written request was sent on October 28.
