The latest 14,900 emails recovered by the FBI came from the 33,000 that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deleted on the grounds that they were personal rather than work-related. Oddly, one of the topics discussed in many of them was Benghazi, which would seem to be "work-related" and as such legally required to be preserved and archived.
Hillary for President campaign manager Robbie Mook urged that "we not jump to hasty conclusions. If you will recall, Secretary Clinton admitted she authored many emails dealing with planning her daughter's wedding. While we all know about the attack on Ambassador Stevens that occurred in Benghazi what a lot of people fail to recognize is that Benghazi could well have been a site under consideration for the wedding and/or honeymoon. Under such circumstances it should not be surprising that many of the Secretary's personal emails might include the word 'Benghazi' within the text."
On top of this, more than a third of the emails involving Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were surrendered by the State Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act filing were 100% redacted. The content was deemed by the State Department as "too sensitive for public disclosure." Not even members of Congress are trusted to view the material. Ironically, one of the emails that wasn't redacted was a panicky message from Abedin regarding "burn bag" communications that she had left in an unlocked automobile. Burn bag communications are so secret that the reader is supposed to burn them after reading as a precaution against them falling into the wrong hands.
Clinton's treatment of her so-called "personal" emails showed a far higher level of precaution against them falling into the wrong hands. FBI forensic analysts found that Clinton's server showed evidence of having been cleaned by "BleachBit"--a software program that goes far beyond mere deletion of unwanted files. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) called the use of such software "a greater length than any reasonable or honest person would go to conceal emails dealing with wedding plans or yoga routines as Secretary Clinton has insisted was her only intent."
Long time Clinton aide Cheryl Mills took umbrage at Gowdy's remarks calling them "sexist. Rep. Gowdy's belittling of wedding planning and yoga reveals an ugly subtext of misogyny lurking just beneath the surface. We think every female voter will understand the importance of keeping discussions of these topics away from prying eyes. Gowdy's gaffe will send another ten million women to the polls to vote for Hillary."
In related news, a US Army training presentation includes slides with photographs of "insider threats to national security." One of those photographs is of Hillary Clinton. Maj. Thomas Campbell, a U.S. Army Training, and Doctrine Command spokesman, confirmed that the photo is genuine and said "the possibility that one of these inside threats could be the next Commander-in-Chief is FUBAR."

So, where’s the “semi-satire.”
Modus Operandi
— Hide the incriminating evidence until after the investigation, then let it be found. Let inertia do the rest.
What I want to know is, have they found any emails about yoga or Chelsea’s wedding yet?
and blame the pubs for the leak
Hillary really could say she was considering Benghazi as a wedding site and people would accept it.
Judging from Hillary’s size I would expect a ton of emails about eating yogurt and wedding cake.
