Judicial Watch announced today that a federal court ordered the Department of Justice to preserve federal records located in the personal email accounts of fired FBI Director James Comey. Judicial Watch and Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) had filed a motion asking the court to issue an order for preservation that was opposed by the Justice Department and FBI.
In the motion, Judicial Watch argued that “there is reason to be concerned that the responsive records could be lost or destroyed.” Judicial Watch pointed out that in June 2018, the DOJ’s Inspector General stated, “We identified numerous instances in which Comey used a personal email account (a Gmail account) to conduct FBI business.” The Justice Department, in response to Judicial Watch’s concerns, sent Mr. Comey a letter asking him to preserve records but refused to make the letter available and opposed a preservation order.
In granting the motion for a preservation order, the court ruled:
[T]he Court will allow [the DOJ] until September 28, 2018 to complete its review and release of any responsive, non-exempt records to Plaintiffs. That being said, [the DOJ] is also ORDERED to make rolling productions between today and September 28, 2018, at reasonable intervals, of any records that are reviewed and found to be responsive and non-exempt.

I fear that Comey likely deleted anything incriminating from his personal accounts. He knew this was coming.
They should also request the emails of his friend who was leaking on his behalf.

he would need access to the servers and I'm assuming that there is a formal process for the IT personal when fulfilling such a request
also I bet money on it that every attempted login/ login and other session information is logged on another server

I'm also thinking the DOJ already deleted those e-mails. Only stupid Hillary waits until records are asked for, before destroying them.

Google apparently permanently deletes trashed emails within 60 days, or so they say.
Does "Delete forever" in Gmail really mean it?
