State dumps thousands of Clinton emails at 1 a.m.
The Washington Examiner ^ | 1-8-16 | Sarah Westwood

Posted on 01/08/2016 10:04:48 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

State Department officials released roughly 2,900 pages of Hillary Clinton's private emails early Friday morning, several hours past their target of late Thursday evening.

State first set a broad target of somewhere between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday. But as the night wore on, that shifted to a 2 a.m. estimate. They were finally released right around 1 a.m.

The late release was on top of State's failure to release all the emails by New Year's Eve. Instead of releasing everything on Dec. 31, State said it needed another few days to finish the group of Clinton messages.

The new batch of records contains 45 classified messages, including one that was upgraded to "secret," a higher level of classification. Last week, the agency published a batch of emails that contained 275 classified records, raising further questions about Clinton's prior remarks that none of her emails included classified information — she has said none were classified at the time the emails were sent.

Agency officials pointed to the holiday schedule for their failure to reach a court-ordered benchmark for the publication of Clinton's emails at the end of December. The early morning release by State was an attempt to make up for that shortfall.

Citing the heavy burden of screening so many emails in a short period of time, the agency also announced on Thursday it would not include subject lines or information about senders and recipients with the records. The omissions made the emails more difficult to search.

The email release came the same day as the publication of a scathing report by the State Department's own inspector general, which found Clinton's aides had deliberately and improperly ignored at least one Freedom of Information Act for her email records while she was still serving as secretary of State.

The release of emails at the end of every month since May was forced by a FOIA lawsuit filed by Jason Leopold, a reporter at Vice News.

Thursday marked the ninth time the State Department has published a significant number of emails online, and one more major release is slated for Jan. 29. At that point, all 55,000 pages of Clinton's emails that State has in its possession will be available online.

For your list.

The fact that the omissions make them more difficult to search is why they were omitted, duh. If the premise of time constraints was accurate, they could promise to re-release them without the omissions.

This is the same tactic of making produced documents less useful that Hillary carried out when she delivered hers in completely unsearchable form, although to a lesser degree.

An EASY prediction: Hillary will get off just as scot-free as Jon Corzine. She is useful to the elites, and is something of an elite herself.

Best result: FBI recommends prosecution, Lynch and Obama refuse, FBI director resigns in protest, and Clinton stays in the race.

Perhaps Hillary Clinton will yet become historic - as first presidentially-pardoned felon to run for the office herself.

I think the people at state reviewing these emails must be the same ones who studied hanging chads in the Palm Beach County recounts.

Any decent IT technician can retrieve every last email and archive of browser history over a ten year period in about two days. Not three years.

Anyone know where to find the emails? I’d love to look through them!

How stupid to you have to be to think that a previous Secretary of State who either couldn’t recognize classified information or lied about its existence, would make a good president?

1. Looking for a URL at state.gov for these dumps. Is there one? On a State Department .gov server?

2. Were these released by State only via an email to selected parties?

3. Is an Outlook server or application required? Plain text or some MS-Outlook format?

On a non-secured email server. If you or I had done it, we would be IN JAIL. But because she's a Democrat, SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED, she gets away with it.

What a DISASTER she would be as President - 'Do as I say, NOT AS I DO'!!!

If obuma and Lynch refuse, have the FBI come out to the American People....

We are sick of the Clinton Crime family and their evil, vile ways, so let us get it out there and take care of it...

Whole bunch of ways we can do it...and the people on this site, well most of us, would be more than willing to help...

So I guess a charge of Contempt of Court does not apply to those who would choose to rule over us?
