Hillary Clinton likely has all of the emails sent and received from the private server she used as secretary of state — even though she insists that many were purged, says Tom Fitton, president of the government watchdog Judicial Watch.
"I don't think they're erased," Fitton said Thursday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.

"Mrs. Clinton didn't say she didn't erase any documents and Mr. [David] Kendall, her lawyer, didn't say that they erased documents. They've been very careful about their language.
"She said 'I did not keep certain records.' Mr. Kendall said the records are not on the server.... I interpret that to mean that there are copies of these records that may be literally true that they've been removed from her server but they're somewhere else then."
Fitton said he is confident he will one day obtain all of the messages that Clinton sent and received — and are now the subject of a probe by a congressional committee looking into her actions before and after the Benghazi attack.
"They will come out, they will come out.... She's very secretive. That's why she was doing government business in a secret way like this contrary to the law and trying to keep this information away from the American people."
Judicial Watch says it has "successfully forced" several thousand pages of documents from the State Department regarding the Benghazi attack through lawsuits and Freedom of Information requests.
Fitton is author of The New York Times best-seller
"The Corruption Chronicles: Obama's Big Secrecy, Big Corruption, and Big Government," published by and executive producer of the documentary "District of Corruption."
