Search Hillary Clinton’s Emails

The State Department has released three batches of Hillary Clinton's emails from the time when she was Secretary of State. The department is reviewing more than 50,000 pages of her messages and releasing them on a monthly schedule.

WSJ has put together an interactive web site where the emails can be searched: here.

I took a brief look through and didn't come up with much. I did, though, find these questions that Hillary asked Jack Lew, who was then at State, somewhat interesting:
Can you find out for me how many Nazi prison camps we had in US during WW2 and what we did w the detainees--did we ever try any? Did we deport them after war ended?
---
I don't understand the answer to the prostitution policy question. What's the simplest way to say it?

If any of you plow through the emails and find anything interesting, please let me know.

  1. There's so much information there, yet still not really put into a more easily used format.

    You can search by sender name, but only search for text on individual documents AFTER they are selected. The database could be massively improved.

    I found it interesting that there isn't one email to/from her husband...apparently he doesn't use email.

    You'd have to have a lot of time on your hands to go through it all, it's like a purposeful document dump when adversarial parties and getting subpoena's. lol

    Anyway, just for kicks I reversed the order chronologically and search a few subject lines fo a couple of pages and came up with this under the subject of "CFR", dated 5-23-09 though it's not clear who sent it to her:

    "I propose that this big speech, or two big general speeches, then drive a series of major policy addresses over the next six months on 1) development, 2) human rights and democracy (you could give that one at the Community of Democracies meeting in Lisbon and July and outline your distinctive approach to using democracy as tool to improve people's lives through more accountable government), 3) global governance/making multilateralism work (you could give that one at the UN), and then several on more specific policies such as a strategy for failing and failed states, climate change/energy security, creating global economic opportunity, a global educational initiative, etc. "

    It's pretty succinct in clarifying the elitist agenda at the time.

    The other thing I noticed in my brief perusal was that there are tons of "blanked out" document that are labeled "unclassified"...which has some interesting implications.

  2. One other note, "Barack Obama" doesn't come up anywhere under send/receiver. I find that interesting too, with many implications.
