Hilary Clinton on the defensive after more email revelations

The revelation of material comes after a Freedom of Information lawsuit was filed by Vice News which sought to force the State Department to turn over memos and emails held on Clinton’s personal server. The server was used by Clinton and her team to conduct official government business, and host personal communications between herself and her advisers.

But some critics are claiming that Clinton has been less than honest in her handling of the FOI request, despite undertaking email marketing best practices. During a March 10 press conference, she told reporters that she’d turned over to the State Department “all my emails that could possibly be work-related,” and that she “did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.” Yet, by comparing emails sent to the Select Committee on Benghazi from Sid Blumenthal, Hilary’s long-time ally and former adviser, against those contained in the latest Clinton cache, it is now known that at least 15 work-related emails were fully or partially withheld. This much the State Department admits.

However, the Wall Street Journal now suggests that “the entire record is suspect.”

“Nothing Mrs. Clinton has supplied to the State Department can now be trusted as legitimate. The real bombshell news was the State Department’s admission that, in at least six instances, the Clinton team altered the emails before handing them over. Sentences or entire paragraphs—which, by the way, were work-related—were removed. State was able to confirm this because it could double-check against Mr. Blumenthal’s documents.”

The WSJ goes on to ask: “how many more of the 30,000 emails Mrs. Clinton provided have also been edited?” They suggest that all of Clinton’s emails with any State Department employee now need to be double-checked, and questions asked about the State Department’s own conduct in the unfolding scandal.

The files released so far make up only about seven percent of the 55 pages of material turned over to the court by Clinton in December, 2015. U.S. District Court judge Rudolph Contreras has ruled that the remaining emails be released every 30 days, until Jan. 29, 2016.
