All of them? A further sanitized subset of what remains after La Clinton Nostra has already fanatically vetted them? Knowing how much Team Messiah hates the Clintons, it's difficult to see why they'd lend Her Nib any hand against their preferred successor, Senator Warren, or how this release would hurt Mrs. Clinton either. I don't get it:
The State Department says it wants until January 2016 to complete its review and release of 55,000 emails from Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State, Politico reports.
Those emails have been the subject of much debate leading up to Clinton’s announcement that she’s making a second run at the White House in 2016.
“The Department understands the considerable public interest in these records and is endeavoring to complete the review and production of them as expeditiously as possible. The collection is, however, voluminous and, due to the breadth of topics, the nature of the communications, and the interests of several agencies, presents several challenges.”
Eh, maybe. But seeing as how all the juicy stuff has already been deleted, is this really any kind of big deal? Unlike the Obamunists, nobody ever accused La Clinton Nostra of incompetence, particularly when it comes to scandal cover-ups and obstruction of justice. Mrs. Clinton worked for the House Judiciary Committee during its Watergate investigation, after all; she learned better than anybody that President Nixon's critical mistake was failing to destroy the Oval Office tapes. Ain't no way she's going to make that same error before even attaining that same lofty perch. So we can safely conclude that whatever the State Commissariat does have in its possession is beyond innocuous, boring, and harmless.
But it will keep the Rodham email scandal percolating near the top of each day's headlines. Hmmm....
UPDATE: Or it would have, if not for Federal District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras:
A federal judge on Tuesday instructed the State Department to release former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails on a rolling basis rather than all at once after they have been cleared.
At a court hearing on Tuesday, federal District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras instructed the State Department to come up with a new schedule for the release of the email archive, which has become the target of multiple lawsuits seeking their release. …
The judge also ordered the State Department to say when a separate trove of emails related to the 2012 Benghazi attack would be released. Those emails were reviewed first as part of a congressional probe into the terrorist attack on an American diplomatic facility in Libya and are expected in the coming weeks.
The State Department said it would comply with the court order to provide a plan for the release of Mrs. Clinton’s emails as well as a deadline for when it would release emails related to the Benghazi attacks.
Jazz Shaw and Captain Ed have it all backwards: Since all the wheat has been sifted out of the mountain of Hillary's email chaff, the steady release of the emails in State's possession will defuse the email scandal by her being able to point to that very self-fulfilling hum-drum-ism and conspicuous absence of any "gun," smoking or otherwise. It guarantees that she will be asked the questions she wants to be asked about that subject, which will bolster her credibility with the LIVs and NIVs, something she would not have the opportunity to do with unabated speculation swirling around her desiccated head for another eight months.
But then, there are so many other scandals so-swirling that it's not like the pre-fizzling of this one will abate her doomed candidacy's five-alarm headache.
