The State Department on Thursday released 357 of the 15,000 Hillary Clinton emails uncovered by the FBI during its investigation into the former secretary of State’s personal email server.
Many of the documents — comprising about 1,250 pages — are “near duplicates” of documents Clinton provided to the State Department in 2014 and have already been made public, according to the agency.
A “near duplicate,” according to the agency, would include emails identical to previously released chains that were forwarded from Clinton to aides with the note, “Please print,” for example.
The newly released documents are records of emails sent or received by Clinton directly in her official capacity as secretary of State.
The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch has been pushing for all of the documents to be released before Election Day next week.
A federal judge last month ordered the State Department to review approximately 1,000 documents before Nov. 8, releasing in batches those that are subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that is driving their release.
Thursday’s is the third batch. The Department made public 75 emails, or around 270 pages, on Oct. 7 and about 112 emails or 240 pages on Oct. 21 — many of which were also “near duplicates” and contained little new information.
State officials are scheduled to review 350 more emails from the FBI files and publish what they are able to Friday. Thereafter, the agency will review 500 pages a month, producing as many relevant documents as exist in each batch.
Each batch is the result of a review of 350 pages ordered by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.
Clinton deleted about 30,000 emails from the private server setup she used while serving as secretary of State, saying they were not work-related, before turning over thousands more to the government. But while examining her machines, the FBI recovered some additional emails that could be relevant to the FOIA lawsuit.
A preliminary review of the 15,000 emails revealed that about 60 percent were of a purely personal nature. Around 37 percent — or 5,600 documents — were deemed work-related, but of those, a “substantial number” were exact duplicates of the 30,000 emails that Clinton turned over to the agency in December 2014, according to State Department lawyers.
Those emails are excluded from each production and will not be re-released.
At the same time, anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks has published thousands of emails stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal account.
The occasional minor revelations are expected to continue up until the Nov. 8 election.
save for later
There’s a REAL obvious effort there to make it all look like a Sunday in the park.
What’s going on?
“State releases” the yoga and Chelsea homemaking emails?
So they released the harmless ones. What a surprise!
Fixed it.
Yeah, I'm a little confused by this. Many of the documents, meaning some are new? "Near duplicates", meaning altered? Not exactly the same? *shrug*
How about Wikileaks SHOW US what was on Huma's computer, or a leak from the FBI would be nice.
I want to see the Huma “life insurance” emails.
Where are the emails where the State Dept had
5 year olds raped by politicians who paid the Clintons
off???
And where are the videos used for blackmail at
the State Dept?
The State Department releases the latest batch, #18, of Clinton emails
State Department officials will release 1,250 pages of Hillary Clinton's deleted emails Thursday afternoon. The emails are mostly from between 'H' Hillary Clinton's email address and Huma Abedin.
Two emails sent to Abedin for printing in August 2009 show the role played by Costa Rican president Oscar Arias in the US-backed regime change operation in Honduras.
Another email from Sidney Blumenthal features strategies and predictions on China. “China is not inherently a stable nation but is riven by profound ethnic/language/regional divisions as well as yawning economic and social inequalities growing greater by the day with a vast majority of billions not sharing the benefits of its brand of turbo-charged, despotic authoritarian Communist/capitalism,” Sid Blumenthal wrote to Clinton in November 2009, while forwarding two New York Times columns from “center-left” Paul Krugman and “center-right” Niall Ferguson.
“China is our captive. If it doesn't hold the debt its currency wobbles,” Blumenthal added, concluding that the possibility of China imploding would be “advantageous to consider in designing policy.”
In an email from April 2009, Cheryl Mills, Clinton's chief of staff, alerts her to a data breach at the National Archives where they can't account for a 2 terabyte hard drive containing electronic records from the Clinton administration which they had on January 30 but was missing on March 24. "They believe it was stolen. NARA has an identical copy of the drive, which it is analyzing."
The two terabytes was noted as probably containing a wide range of memos, emails, and other electronic documents from the Clinton White House. While the material was unclassified, except for three documents "which Bill Learly has examined and does not believe present any significant risk."
The latest batch released on Thursday will be one of the final batches before voters go the polls on Tuesday.
The emails, some of which were previously released by the State Department, and also by Wikileaks, were uncovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s year-long probe into the private server of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton when she served as Secretary of State. The emails were subsequently turned over to the State Department.
Where can I find them?
Not sure...haven’t checked the story yet.
“The occasional minor revelations”
Like massive law breaking that has lead to resignations ...
This is Baghdad Bob worthy:
“The occasional minor revelations are expected to continue up until the Nov. 8 election.”
Doesn’t take much imagination to figure out that the 357 out of 15000+ emails are probably the most innocuous.
I’m really curious about the 20 emails about Bengahzi that were announced back in August as new stuff. At the time, State said it would take until late Sept. to redact them. That means it would take that long to clear the release with all the differenct intel agencies and make sure all classified info was edited out. Which also means they were classified and on her unsecure server, which reveals another lie.
So it is now Nov. Where are those emails.
minor revelations?
Concerning the current two pronged FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s “carelessness” and CLEAR violations of huge portions of USC Title 18 and the charges being made by the now frantic left that the FBI is attempting to keep her out of the White House, I humbly offer two thoughts:
1. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! What part of that don’t Hillary’s now hysterical defenders get? If she had FULLY and PROMPTLY complied with the congressional orders to produce the evidence requested — instead of INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING it (itself a CRIME!) — this MIGHT have been wrapped up BEFORE the final days of this campaign. Unless, of course, she KNEW that evidence was probative of the suspected misconduct and she’d already be under indictment!
AND
2.”Fiat justitia ruat cælum” is a Latin legal phrase, meaning “Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”
If the “fall” in this case is the failure of the candidacy of a woman who has long been “suspected” to believe herself ABOVE the LAW, SO BE IT!!
And that begs an important question: DARE WE PUT IN THE PRESIDENCY SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO HER?
