Clinton private emails give peek into the personal
And while the Examiner wrote that Clinton said she conducted most of her work outside of email in order to “defend[] the lack of Benghazi updates among her private emails”, her testimony actually indicates that she made that remark while explaining why she did not have emails concerning an April 2012 attack on an United Nations convoy in Benghazi.
Sens. Tammy Baldwin, Barbara Boxer, Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Kirsten Gillibrand, Heidi Heitkamp, Mazie Hirono, Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskill, Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Jeanne Shaheen and Debbie Stabenow – every other Democratic woman senator – spoke on Clinton’s behalf, offering praise of the woman many of them once served with.
Clinton has said she never sent or received material marked classified via her personal e-mail account – and her campaign has noted that information is frequently upgraded to classified after the fact. Further, some of the planning schedules were redacted by the State Department on the grounds that disclosing them would reveal “internal deliberations”, according to the Examiner.
Thirteen Democratic women senators stood on stage at a fundraiser Monday night to rally for Hillary Clinton, but there was one noticeable absence.

You did not look rattled.
Following her first round of Benghazi testimony before Congress, campaign adviser Mark Penn suggests that her “What difference, at this point, does it make?” outburst was a bad move.
On January 23, 2013, Clinton appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to answer questions about the September 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The subject line was just one word: “Koch”.
Some of the messages show that Clinton anxious about how her own remarks after the attacks would later be perceived.
Other Republicans pounced on the e-mail as evidence that Clinton was using her time as secretary of state as a political steppingstone for a future job. When you mix the investment bank and the shadow economy with the commercial bank, that’s a real complicated thing. It’s not; I’ve risked my life practicing it. But having lost over 100 personnel KIA and WIA (and two ARBs judging me) in my time in Iraq (and a son going back to Afghanistan on Department assignment this summer) I feel very strongly that we have to be prudent. “The way you treated the video in the Libya context was to say that some sought to *justify* the attack on that basis”. “I think you say, ‘Look, we need your – if not your active help – your acquiescence in what we’re going after ISIS.’ So that means you’re going to have to pull back from this area while we go after their leadership and their economic infrastructure”.
