The emails present a very disturbing tie between the Clinton State Department and the notorious Clinton Foundation, which has been subject to scrutiny by critics for muddying the link between the government and a private organization.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The State Department has turned over 44 previously-unreleased Hillary Clinton email exchanges that the Democratic presidential nominee failed to include among the 30,000 private messages she turned over to the government previous year.
While it’s not clear what favor this person was initially asking for, Doug Band forwarded his email to Clinton’s aides and their response seems to indicate he is being offered his pick of jobs at the State Department.

“We need Gilbert Chagoury to speak to the substance person re lebanon”. Chagoury donated between $1 million and $5 million (placing him near the top of the donor list) and also pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative. However, his conviction was expunged in 2000 after he agreed to a plea deal that required him to return approximately $66 million to the Nigerian government.
As preparation for Hillary’s upcoming visit to Asia, Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, on February 11, 2009, sends Hillary a copy of his upcoming testimony before Congress in which he would condemn any US efforts to criticize Chinese monetary policy or enact trade barriers.
The emails reveal that Clinton campaign adviser and pollster Mark Penn advised Clinton on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and piracy.
Another Clinton aide expresses frustration that the document was sent to a secure account, not an unsecured non.gov email address.
The newest batch of Hillary Clinton emails show that she is not only completely untrustworthy and unethical, they show that her aides have an overt disregard for safety protocols and protecting sensitive information.
The e-mails show other “employment opportunities”: Big-time Clinton fundraiser Lana Moresky asked Clinton to arrange another hire at State.
Clinton directed Abedin to follow up and “help” the applicant and told Abedin to “let me know about the job issue”, it said.
‘If there was a schedule that was created that was her Secretary of State daily schedule, and a copy of that was then put in the burn bag, that. that certainly happened on. on more than one occasion, ‘ Abedin told lawyers representing conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, according to the New York Post.
“No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American people, the courts and Congress”, Fitton said.
“That the Clinton Foundation was calling in favors barely 3 months into Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department is deeply troubling, and it is yet another reminder of the conflicts of interest and unethical wheeling and dealing she’d bring to the White House”, said Michael Short, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, in a statement Tuesday.
Newly released e-mails from a top aide to Hillary Clinton show evidence of contacts between Clinton’s State Department and donors to her family foundation and political campaigns.
The statement goes on to cite a letter from Clinton to State Department Designated Agency Ethics Official James H. Thessin from January 2009.

The firm, and Abedin’s ability to work simultaneously for it and the State Department, have drawn ire from some conservative corners, where critics have railed about conflicts of interest and warned that officials outside of the government had undue influence on USA diplomacy. This new email find is also at odds with her official campaign statement suggesting all “work or potentially work-related emails” were provided to the State Department.
