Her tenure as Secretary of State, of course, led to the bogus email scandal, which in turn led to the slow-​drip release of the emails on her home server. ​I decided I was going to read them.​

In those emails, I discovered a Hillary Clinton I didn’t ​even ​know existed​.​

I found a woman who cared about employees who lost loved ones. I found a woman who, without exception, took time to write notes of condolence and notes of congratulations, no matter how busy she was. I found a woman who could be a tough negotiator and firm in her expectations, but still had a moment to write a friend with encouragement in tough times. She worried over people she didn’t know, and she worried over those she did.

And everywhere she went, her concern for women and children was ​clearly ​the first and foremost ​thing on her mind.

2. I love this...

For all the uproar about her emails and sinister charges leveled at her, here is someone who really read the content and tone of these emails. I've always felt that a person's personality/character comes through loud and clear through emails. Especially in one on one correspondence: it's a private conversation but care is usually taken in the words that are chosen, not in a calculated way, but more in a heartfelt way.

I've been a Hillary supporter for years, lived near her in NY at one point, have friends who know her...and this article sums up what I've heard often: she's the whole package and will make a wonderfully special president.

3. I know!

I also remember in the 1st CNN townhall there was a member of the audience who said to HRC that he had not started as an HRC supporter till he watched all 11 hours of Benghazi interrogation!

4. This article deserves a full read!

One paragraph from the article:
"I read every single one of the emails released in August, and what I found was someone who actually gave a damn about the country, the Democratic party, and all of our futures."
The writer also refers to the Hillary portrayed in the media as a "caricature."

8. You go get a clue and don't come back until you've found one.

Yep you've been blocked.

9. Let's all make a note...

... to recommend this, spread out over the next week, so it stays in "Greatest Threads." This is EXACTLY the sort of thing we need to combat the baseless hate campaigns.

11. Kick Rec Bookmark

[LAS14]

12. Did we ever learn where...

... we could find these e-mails?

[radical noodle]

15. You should be able to search here

Search for Clinton email


https://foia.state.gov/search/results.aspx

[LAS14]

17. Thanks. Now could...

.... you give us all a little tutorial? I sorted the From column and found a bunch from Hillary, but all the ones I looked at had empty spots for the body of the communication. The address and signature were there. Then in the upper left was "Release in Part B5" or "Release in Part B6." Do you know which parts have already been released? Or how best to find them?

I'm truly excited by the prospect of enabling people to actually read these e-mails. I've no doubt at all that they will be to her credit.

[LAS14]

18. Thanks! Now are you...

.... able to give us a little tutorial? I found Clinton e-mails, but all the ones I opened had the body blanked out. The salutation and signature were there. In the upper right corner were "Release in Part B5" or "Release in Part B6". Do you know which parts have already been released? And is there a way to find them? Dates, perhaps?

I'm excited by the prospect of getting ordinary people to actually read them. Especially those who might be sitting on the fence, assuming there are smoking guns. I have no doubt at all that they will be to her credit.

[radical noodle]

19. Hmmmm...

Let me go look again.

[radical noodle]

20. Okay

Here's what I did once I got to that link. There is a box for a refined search on the right above that list. Clinton email was what I used for that search. Once that search came up, I was able to click on the subject of the various emails to read the content. Some has been redacted for obvious reasons but the basics are all there for anyone to see.

Hope it works for you...

[LAS14]

21. ....and for lots of people! Thanks. nt

22. You're welcome!

Much of it is pretty boring stuff.

13. K&R!

It’s a hard thing to swallow one’s pride and step to the side, but Hillary did it with class and with dignity. Not only that, she made the most of every minute of her tenure as Secretary of State. Not ​a day went by where she shirked the duty vested in her.

In short, she proved herself beyond what any other candidate has done, and she did it professionally, assertively, and without drama.

Here’s something else I learned about her through those emails​: She’ll fight. And she’ll fight hard. She won’t shy away from a renegade Congress and she won’t always play nice. But she does play by the rules, which is more than I can say for a lot of the candidates on the other side

The entire article is great!

The above section I quoted from it? Shows her quality as a person.

24. This is awesome.

Those emails are so innocuous I felt creepy reading them.

[LAS14]

25. Hoping this will nudge some fence-sitters. nt

Ooops. Wrong forum(group). I'll go find it in GDP. But it's well worth reading for any of you who missed it.
