Call it an early Christmas present.

The emails have been part of the most noteworthy release still of Clinton documents from the State Department. 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.
Most of the emails were from 2012 and 2013, NBC News reports. The full database can be searched here.
But now that Clinton has said she opposes both the TPP and Keystone measures, the gap between the two most powerful women in the Democratic Party has narrowed. For Clinton, 42.5 percent of Democrats said she would make them less likely to vote, while 41 percent said her candidacy made no difference.
Although the newest batch contained emails that had been released in previous productions, it also contained a number of Benghazi-related records that had not been previously disclosed.
In media interviews, Clinton has said that she takes classified information very seriously and only viewed such material using appropriate secure methods.
Clinton’s aides and supporters showered her with gushing praise, complimenting everything from her appearance to her policies, and the volume and emotion of those messages only grew as her tenure in the Cabinet came to an end.
After her staff sends her a compilation of tweets after her testimony, she voices something we’ve all wondered – what did we do before Twitter?
During her testimony, Clinton also told the select committee that she did not know that former intelligence official Tyler Drumheller was actually writing the intelligence memos about Libya that were sent to her from long-time confidant Sidney Blumenthal, as Bloomberg reported. And as she needs to clear her head once she leaves office, why not walk a dog?!
Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s main rival, who has served with numerous same female lawmakers for years. This time, it’s trying to find what channel Showtime’s “Homeland” is on. “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al-Qaeda-like group: the Ambassador, whom I hand-picked, and a young communications officer on temporary duty w[ith] a wife and two young children”, she wrote.
Flanked by the thirteen female senators, Clinton gave a version of her stump speech, calling for automatic voter registration, paid family leave, a defense of Planned Parenthood and stringent gun control measures, delivering well-rehearsed lines. In one email from January 22 of 2012, she writes: “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”.
Who better to reach out to than NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about head injuries and concussions when Clinton suffered one herself in December 2012.

In a subsequent email chain with her top aides Philippe Reines and Jake Sullivan, Clinton largely brushed off the advice.
