The State Department released 7,800 pages of emails from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton yesterday, and found among the mostly mundane communications were several Benghazi-related emails that appear to contradict Hillary Clinton’s testimony before the Select Committee on Benghazi.

“They have so much courage and smarts, the combination of grit and grace”, Clinton, a former senator, said pointing to the women standing on stage behind her, “It was the honor and privilege of my life to serve with them”.
The fawning over Clinton’s black, thick-framed eyeglasses was tucked away in almost 8,000 emails the State Department released Monday from Clinton’s personal email server that dogged her presidential bid earlier this year.
Clinton top aide Huma Abedin emailed the then secretary of state in December 2011, informing her of the death of the American soldiers, who were serving in the Middle East. Clinton’s response was: “Is Dalton Brody off Conn or Wisconsin?” Her sit-downs with business leaders were not unique among recent secretaries of state, who sometimes summoned corporate executives to aid in global affairs, documents show.
Clinton had some nicknames for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich during the 2012 GOP primary race. “If Mittens can’t beat Grinch in Florida, there will be pressure on state Republican parties to reopen or liberalize ballot access especially in the caucuses, which as we know are creatures of the parties’ extremes”, she wrote.
Despite signing a letter that urged Clinton to run for president in 2013, Warren has so far declined to officially endorse her campaign.
The Democratic presidential front-runner plans to spend the next month laying out what her campaign is calling her “jobs agenda”, including ideas for upping federal support for research and manufacturing.
“To build a strong economy for our future we must start by building strong infrastructure today, and putting you and your members to work”, Clinton said.
“We all feel that way”, Jiloty wrote.
“If you would like help with your campaign, I’m available”, one girl offered. “And you looked fabulous”.
The subject line for the e-mail is: “100 and counting…”; Reines included a list of 94 countries that Clinton hadn’t yet visited for her to “choose from”, as he put it. Some of the countries had asterisks by them. Penn suggested Republicans could use that moment as evidence that they had rattled her.
Responding to Blumenthal’s compliment of her glasses, Clinton said, “I just have to figure out what I’m doing w the rest of my life!”
You did not look rattled.

Top aide Jake Sullivan weighed in, saying Penn delivered the same advice during her losing presidential campaign in 2008 – that it’s bad for a candidate to be herself. Dianne Feinstein. “You come to the conclusion that this is really the only candidate out there that has an opportunity because of the knowledge that’s in her brain to solve some of the problems that we face as the most indispensable nation on earth”.
