Elizabeth Warren, the progressive icon whom liberal groups spent more than $1 million trying to draft into the 2016 presidential race against Clinton this year. The State Department says that these are new stamps applied by officials at the State Department, and the stamps do not indicate that the information in the emails was classified at the time Clinton sent them.

The relative lack of news coming out of these e-mails follows a similar pattern in the wake of the release of the first three tranches (awesome word!) of Clinton’s correspondence at State.
On Monday, the State Department released the largest batch yet of emails from Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state that have been culled from the controversial private server she used.
The prior releases, which totaled 26,801 pages, brings the total page count to more than 66% of the total pages in the Clinton archive, according to the State Department.
Republicans have criticized the Democratic presidential candidate for the use of her server instead of a government email address.
Do you think Hillary Clinton should be indicted for the mishandling of classified information?
The focus on Clinton’s emails has eased somewhat since her testimony before a House special Benghazi committee last month that uncovered no new evidence that Clinton played a role in denying additional security requests at the USA embassy in Libya before the September 11, 2012 attacks.
The Wall Street Journal noted one message from Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi wishing Clinton well when she had health problems in early 2013.
While the women speaking Monday were unanimous in their support for Clinton, many other Democrats are undecided or backing other candidates.
“It has been ridiculous that there has never been a female president before”, one of the girls says, reading from a letter that she wrote to Clinton.
On Sunday, Clinton went to Warren’s home ground of Boston, where she celebrated the endorsement of the union-backed mayor, Marty Walsh.
In a subsequent email chain with her top aides Philippe Reines and Jake Sullivan, Clinton largely brushed off the advice.
“I also represented NY and represented everybody from the dairy farmers to the fishermen”, she told Rose. “Yes, I did”, Clinton concluded.
Turning to the economy, she said that as secretary of state, she strove to increase exports from American businesses.

On the Democratic side, Sanders polled better in terms of inspiring more people to vote for the Democratic ticket. The records showed Clinton met with almost 100 corporate executives and political and charity donors, including representatives of companies and organizations that pursued interests with the Obama administration.
