I realized this has been discussed somewhat here but the "redacted" question has not really been

5. I seem to have heard that the redactions were done by David Wildstein's attorney

before he handed over the documents to the legislative committee. He told them that the redactions were done because the information was not relevant to the scope of the committee request for documents.

Private email accounts are used by elected officials and public employees so their personal emails are separated from their work emails.
Many mistakenly believe that they are not subject to public record requests. But they are, if work matters or matters of public interest are discussed or deliberated. Public record requests cover all documents relative to the subject of the request, regardless if they are via a private email or text, or a work email address. At least here in Louisiana that is the law.

I would be very surprised if all the private account emails were not supplied to the committee by Wildstein's attorney. He wants an immunity deal for his client, so it is probably the best bargaining chip they had. He pretty much said give Wildstein immunity, and we'll give you what we have.
