This would be tough, the e-mail server is in the custody of the FBI and should be quarantined to protect the "data from being tampered with" in case they turn up evidence.
The request for "releasing what you have already found" is not treason if it is evidence of a criminal act.
But, that evidence would be useless in court, chain of custody could not be verified.

The IBM invented VM tech in 1966 and took it commercial in 1972 ... one year after Unix got born on an anemic DEC PDP.
IBM has always led the way in technology that eventually trickles down to the desktop ... multiprocessing, high speed interconnect, the disk drive, using separated processors for APP code and I/O channels and devices ... better check the patent database ...
The reason this "new shiny stuff" is available to us LOW LIFES on the desktop is because IBM's PATENT EXPIRED ON IT.
Good thing these folks don't run the military, we would all be in chains.
Ever notice that the military STARTS OUT by degrading and stripping individualism from people? Why?
BECAUSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD NO WAR WAS WON BY INDIVIDUALS.
Sometimes people are like old tube TV's, they need a GOOD SLAP to get their FOCUS back.
They killed off all the Windows version ported to other architectures and climbed in bed with Intel. 25 years later, Intel's chips are more bloated than the Windows OS. Heat and battery life make Intel a "don't bother" in the mobile world ... and ARM takes over.
So, it is now an INNOVATION to go back 25 years and port Windows to other architectures ?
RUBBISH.
Think of where we would be if Windows ran on everything the way LINUX has? We would have CPU's that were cutting edge and efficient coming out of INTEL and 25 years of INNOVATION brought on by true competition in the hardware arena.
The only reason MOBILE is exploding is because there was an OS ported to run on ARM chips ... the same kernel and OS that runs on everything from IBM Big Iron to Raspberry PI.
We didn't get that CHIP from INTEL and we didn't get the OS from MICROSOFT.
Playing CATCH UP is not INNOVATION.
Working around lip smacking moneys all day ... now they hear human speech ... me thinks he needs to take a mental health day.
I remember being invited to a series of high level management meetings ... lot of lip smacking ... even thought I could make out a bit of intelligent, human grade, speech, from time to time ... I took a day off ... and never went back to those level of meetings again. Problem solved.
