Why are they asking for all this? Because they CAN. They want to dig through everything they can get their hands on to see if it's either (a) relevant to your present lawsuit and/or (b) see if they can find something to discredit you. They aren't sure what they're looking for or what these records will contain so they want to get hold of everything that might possibly provide them with a legal strategy or line of inquiry. They might also just be trying to make the process as difficult as possible for you.
