WaPo: Things we learned from 50,000-plus pages of Clinton emails

Hillary Clinton’s work-related emails from her private account are now public, more than 52,000 pages detailing her tenure as secretary of state but failing to resolve questions about how she and her closest aides handled classified information.

Several investigations continue into her exclusive use of a nongovernment email account and homebrew server while she was in government, an issue that has dogged her presidential campaign, even though she seems well-positioned to capture the Democratic nomination.

Some of the things we learned:

[Zakeet]

The WaPoo list with a few appropriate comments:

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: The emails are full of sections that the State Department decided were improper for release and blanked out

Snarky didn't just break the law, she willfully and wantonly shattered it.

HIGH-TECH CHALLENGES: Clinton hardly comes across as a technological whiz

The World's Smartest Woman is an idiot at just about everything

BENGHAZI: There was no smoking gun ... still, it has provided significant fodder for her political opponents>/b>

It pays off big time to have your own server and then wipe it clean.

OUTSIDE ADVISERS: An interesting set of characters has Clinton’s ear

She relies on a disturbing collection of criminals and perverts.

U.S. POLITICS: Domestic politics were never far from Clinton’s mind

No sh*t Sherlock.

ROCK STAR DIPLOMAT: Clinton was surrounded by people who cheered her every move

The pathetic narcissistic sociopath can't stand new ideas or any amount of constructive criticism.

SENSE OF HUMOR: Clinton likes a good laugh

... unless the joke is on her, about her, about her spawn, about her Bubba, or about any number of other "off limits" subjects

And now you know.

All politics aside, it would be in the best interest of America for Hillary to step aside from this Presidential race and get the email thing resolved. But that would require actual character and integrity, which would not be a realistic expectation in this situation.

[Faith Presses On]

I imagine it’s another article that goes out of its way to explain her defensive talking points.

[Yo-Yo]

I read the entire Washington Post article, and nowhere does it mention that these 50,000 emails are the ones that Hillary herself “deemed” relative to her work and released to the State Department while deleting the rest.

I think Ambassador Stevens would say that there were some smoking guns at Benghazi.

[blueunicorn6]

Everybody knows that Hillary is a tightwad.

Somebody supplied her with a personal computer and network.

Who was it?

What spyware was on it?

[csmusaret]

And all this is just from the 30K emails she turned over to the State Dept. No telling what was in the 30K or so she deleted.

[Iron Munro]

IMHO THE BEAST herself won’t be charged or prosecuted.

The Obama Justice Department will state that it was poor judgement but not a crime for her to have the personal server.

And that she was not in control of the emails others sent to her containing unmarked classified information so there is no criminal action or intent by her.

They will say they are investigating those who sent e-mails to her to determine if anyone knowingly committed a criminal act.

They will drag it out until the election.

If she wins it’s over.

If any republican but Trump wins, it’s over.

“but failing to resolve questions about how she and her closest aides handled classified information.”

Only in the minds at the Compost. Just having the private server is a crime.

Excuse me, but where the Fcku are all the Yoga, and Chelsea Wedding emails?

[Talisker]

Excuse me, but where the Fcku are all the Yoga, and Chelsea Wedding emails?

They were deleted. They're private.

[ThunderSleeps]

Yeah, these are only the subset she and her staffers were willing and or careless enough to release. I wonder what topics they went through and searched for and carefully scrubbed before letting anyone else access it.

[UCANSEE2]

Somebody supplied her with a personal computer and network. Who was it?

Bill Clinton. He had this private server set up during his Administration. It was reactivated and repurposed when Hillary became SOS for her to use to keep her emails out of the 'government' system.

[BigpapaBo]

I’d bet the fibbies and at minimum Gucifer (the hacker that exposed her server) has every email broomhilda sent/received/wrote.
So top secret, secret and confidential information is out there.
