I meant Occam's razor as a way of explaining why they were handed over as paper - the simplest explanation being they were intentionally making it harder.
I get why the agency might print it out- but I don't get why the Clinton staffers would print them out. If the government is going to subpoena or raid me, they're just taking my computer. Sure, if it gets to public release, then they might print/redact. But they sure are not going to wait for me to print out stuff and hand it over.
Given the original 'two phones are too difficult' excuse for having the private emails, I can't see how printing out the paper and handing that over can be seen as anything but deliberate delaying. Unless I'm missing something here, it's not like the Clinton staff redacted the mails themselves - they just deleted the ones they didn't want to hand over.
If the agency staff are redacting for public release, then that is a different thing altogether, they could have done that from the original emails.
