State Dept. uncovers 17,000 missing emails

State Department officials have uncovered 17,855 emails sent between a former Hillary Clinton spokesman and reporters that the agency long claimed did not exist.

The trove was among more than 80,000 emails belonging to Philippe Reines, a Clinton aide, that were discovered on his State Department account, officials said in court filings Aug. 13.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Gawker Media in 2013, the State Department said it had no responsive records. Gawker was seeking official correspondence between Reines and reporters from 33 news outlets.

But State officials responded Thursday with the news that they had inexplicably found 81,159 emails on Reines' ".gov" email account despite asserting two years ago that none existed. Twenty-two percent, or 17,855, of the emails were likely related to Gawker's request.

The White House has no choice but to turn on her - she can’t win in 16 unless the GOPe nominate Bush and that ain’t gonna happen

[Darth Reardon]

but if the recipient says “well, here’s one from/to your server & address” she’s busted

Not really, email is darn easy to fake.

What I find interesting is that the recipients didn't find them. I mean, they were sent to the very people who should be looking for them. Oh, wait a minute.

Looks like deflection, distraction and conflation is the game plan.

State Department Accused Of ‘Incompetence’ After It ‘Finds’ 81,000 Clinton Aide Emails

same FOIA request --- grew from 17,000 to 81,000 in one day?

This looks really bad for Hillary with no way out.

I wonder if she will commit suicide.

[SeaHawkFan]

Bill can only hope.

[LucyT]

I wondered the same thing.

[trisham]

I doubt it. She’s a narcissist.

It was all supposed to just go away. After all they expect voters to have a short term memory problem, or at least some type of ADD when it comes to the news.

Well It didn’t go away.

In fact, I still remember Hillary looking at the family of the 4 Benghazi victims after they were transported here, and promised the families she would be sure to prosecute the video maker. She knew before that point that the video had nothing to do with it. If she can look in the eyes of a mourning families of those who honorable served our country and lie, she can lie about anything.

[HollyB]

yes, it is. Don’t forget mockery.

I’m thinking about Flounder on Animal House. Who remembers that scene?

"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Hillary."

[houeto]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he knew about the private email server,

I would be SHOCKED, AGAST, FLABBERGASTED if he did NOT know!!!

HELL YEA he knew! This is an insidious plot but I am not sure what the endgame is...yet.

If anyone has any insight, please share.
