Q&As on Hillary Clinton’s latest State email release
To make up for the 2015 shortfall, the State Department said more emails will be released during the first week of 2016. “We have worked diligently to come as close to the goal as possible, yet with the large number of documents involved and the holiday schedule we have not met the goal this month”, the State Department stated in a press release.
Clinton has maintained that none of the emails she sent or received were marked as classified at the time, but including the latest release, parts of over 1,250 messages have been retroactively classified.
According to a State Department official, portions of 275 emails in the latest document dump have been upgraded to “Confidential” classified status since the emails were sent.
Overall, numerous emails were heavily redacted, and provided little news to pull out.
Yet another batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s personal email server were released Thursday afternoon.
Clinton’s personal email use as the country’s top diplomat dogged her campaign earlier this year.
Other emails include a flow chart that displayed who had riding privileges with Clinton, as well as a very grim birthday greeting.
One ally confided to her that Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany did not care for “the Obama phenomenon”, while another urged immediate aid to Libya if Moammar Gadhafi were to fall, as he later did.
Mills reassured her, replying: “You look cute”. “He then said he regretted his decision in the primary – he likes to admit mistakes when he makes them and that was one of them”. Please see our terms of service for more information.
Extra scrutiny of Clinton’s emails has been fueled by discrepancies between her initial public statements on the Benghazi terror attack and her private messages.
Clinton turned over the records to the State Department in December 2014, almost two years after leaving office, in response to a request from the department.
Clinton fielded questions on college debt, climate change and gun control, all issues she’s addressed several times before.
“Why now?” she responded.
“I can’t recite for you everything that was in a conversation where people were sobbing, where people were distraught, the president and the vice president, we were all making the rounds talking to people, listening to people”, Clinton told the newspaper.
