A peek at a few of Hillary Clinton's emails

NY Times:

It was a grueling hearing. A month after the September 2012 attack on the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, House Republicans grilled a top State Department official about security lapses at the outpost.

Later that day, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton tapped out an email to a close adviser: “Did we survive the day?” she wrote.

“Survive, yes,” the adviser emailed back, adding that he would continue to gauge reaction the next morning.

The roughly 300 emails from Mrs. Clinton’s private account that were turned over last month to a House committee investigating the attack showed the secretary and her aides closely monitoring the fallout from the tragedy, which threatened to damage her image and reflect poorly on the State Department.

They provided no evidence that Mrs. Clinton, as the most incendiary Republican attacks have suggested, issued a “stand down” order to halt American forces responding to the violence in Benghazi, or took part in a broad cover-up of the administration’s response, according to senior American officials.

But they did show that Mrs. Clinton’s top aides at times corresponded with her about State Department matters from their personal email accounts, raising questions about her recent assertions that she made it her practice to email aides at their government addresses so the messages would be preserved, in compliance with federal record-keeping regulations.

Two weeks after that first email assessing Ms. Rice’s appearance, Mr. Sullivan sent Mrs. Clinton a very different email. This time, he appeared to reassure the secretary of state that she had avoided the problems Ms. Rice was confronting. He told Mrs. Clinton that he had reviewed her public remarks since the attack and that she had avoided the language that had landed Ms. Rice in trouble.

“You never said ‘spontaneous’ or characterized their motivations,” Mr. Sullivan wrote.

I think that Sullivan is overlooking her remarks at the ceremony  when the bodies were returned where she indicated the administration was going after the make of the video who they were blaming for the attacks.  It was pretty clear in that statement she was backing the administration's false narrative about the source and cause of the attacks.

There have also been publications of what purported to be email conversations with Sidney Blumenthal about th3e events that show her in an unflattering light.  Whether those emails are real and whether they will actually surface int eh investigation is not known at this time.

The emails that have surfaced don't really explain how she arrived at her disastrous policy that created an ongoing fiasco in Libya.  While that may not be the crux of the investigation about events in Benghazi it should be central to her judgment in evaluating what kind of President she would be.
