56. It's not just them - AP News was trying to get info from 2010 on.

AP News also is suing.

In particular, AP News wanted to know about the financial arrangements with Huma Abedin. This turns out to be a real issue; see this WaPo article:

It is not at all that these groups intervened. They started it, by filing lawsuits because of State's failure to respond to FOIA.

The FBI came in at the end only.

The hacker Guccifer was the individual who revealed to the public that Hillary Clinton had a private (non-gov) email address. After that all the groups that had FOIA requests pending asked for those records also.

Here is the AP News lawsuit, filed last year:

The judges involved are ruling this way because the law is the law, not from partisan reasons.
