While media coverage has focused on a half-dozen of Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal emails containing sensitive intelligence, the total number of her private emails identified by an ongoing State Department review as having contained classified data has ballooned to 60, officials told The Washington Times.
That figure is current through the end of July and is likely to grow as officials wade through a total of 30,000 work-related emails that passed through her personal email server, officials said. The process is expected to take months.
The 60 emails are among those that have been reviewed and cleared for release under the Freedom of Information Act as part of a open-records lawsuit. Some of the emails have multiple redactions for classified information.

Just how many sets of orange prison wear does the Federal Corrections System have? At some point with this administration they'd be in danger of running out.
Seriously: if they indict Hilarity then they have to indict all the people who knew about this, allowed it, condoned it, excused it, and looked the other way. How many IT people, security people, aides, bureaucrats, and so on in State and in the White House would end up before a judge? You honestly think that ANY administration would indict dozens, if not a couple hundred, federal employees? Because that's what you'd have to do if you go after Hilarity.
Hilarity, in her imperiousness, thought that she lived by a special set of rules. So did everyone else in government around her.

The law is clear. She broke it. The only question is whether or not the political caste inside the beltway covers her or throws her under the bus in order to cover other things.
Reportedly it was a phone call several days earlier from a high-ranking legal representative of the Clinton Machine to the offices of Attorney General Loretta Lynch that set in motion what some are whispering to have been almost "absolute capitulation" on the part of Team Hillary. This was then followed up by representatives from the DNC who are equally desperate to see the ongoing email scandal situation resolved sooner rather than later.
Hillary Clinton and her campaign are in very serious trouble. She knows it, they know it, and now the Obama-Jarrett DOJ is literally holding the keys to the Clintons' future in their Martha's Vineyard-vacationing hands.
The most recent phone call regarding the legal implications of the ongoing FBI investigation into Mrs. Clinton's private email server and potential violation of federal law as it pertains to the handling of classified information comes months after an earlier meeting between the principal parties to this legal and political dilemma as outlines in this in D.C. Whispers report from March 28th:
The secret White House meeting between Clinton, Jarrett, Rice, and Obama is alleged to have been orchestrated by current White House Director of Communications (meaning she answers directly to Valerie Jarrett) Jennifer Palmieri. (upper left) Palmieri was former head of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the George Soros-sponsored political action wing of Center for American Progress -- the very group Hillary Clinton was said to be meeting with prior to her "unscheduled" White House meeting in the afternoon of March 23rd. Palmieri has announced her intent to take a senior position within the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign thus making her the likely primary link between the Soros political influence machine and the Clinton Machine. Her involvement appears to signal a shift in interest by Soros back to the Clintons, likely giving the Clintons some much needed leverage against the power and influence of Valerie Jarrett.
If a tentative agreement had been reached between the Clinton and Obama camps during their March 23rd meeting, it now appears said agreement has dissipated given the recent leaks indicating at least two top secret documents were found to have been in Hillary Clinton's possession -- documents that were on an unsecured server, an act which is a serious violation of federal law. Mrs. Clinton's fortunes are further darkened by her earlier on-the-record claims to not have had such documents and now there are those implicating her in a direct attempt to tamper/destroy evidence in an ongoing investigation.
"Will we have a job next year?"
That is now the question on the minds of an increasing number of Hillary Clinton campaign staffers who are hearing a myriad of rumors from generally reliable sources in and around Washington D.C. regarding the seriousness of the current Democratic presidential frontrunner's legal troubles.
Team Clinton is desperate to receive assurances from the Obama DOJ that the investigation will proceed in the delayed drip fashion that has become the hallmark of the Obama administration -- drag in out long enough until the public loses interest entirely. This scenario is said to be a less than satisfactory one to the DNC power brokers though who fear the scandal could blow up in the final months of the 2016 campaign, thus ensuring a Republican White House victory.
At least one high-ranking member within the DNC made clear to fellow members how strongly he opposed any such deal with the Clinton Machine and is aggressively pushing to have a candidate "in place and ready" to step into what he feels is an "inevitable void" when the Hillary Clinton campaign collapses.

Somebody has to take the fall, the stink has gotten too strong, and the entrenched Patriots in the IC/Dos/DoJ (those that remain) have made the case too strong. SO imagine the meetings going on at Martha's Vibeyard, issues like Hillary making strong supporting statements for the Iran deal, the Clinton FOundation finding jobs for a wide range of Obama cronies, perhaps in management positions to share the power of its donations. In return, Huma, or Cheryl or someone is made an offer: "...admit to the stripping of classified markings...the investigation is slow rolled for 18 months... Hillary sticks to the "I didn't knowingly send or receive classified material".... the election is successful, andout the door a Presidential pardon comes down for compassionate reasons....and a lifetime of high-paying jobs, unexpected successes in business ventures and investments, and friend for life in high places"
It might play out like that?
From the Daily Mail UK, doing the work American journalists refuse to do. Very long (as are most articles at the Daily Mail) so you'll just need to go there for all the lurid details.
Hat tip to a Rantburg reader via Facebook.
I had a hunch Platte River might not pass the smell test. My guess is there's more 'there... there.' Thanks Dr. White.
You're welcome! Next questions for the Daily Mail reporter --
How much money has David Decamillis given to the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation? Is he a bundler?
How did Hillary end up selecting a data company with a key executive who is one degree separated from a convicted felon? Who in the Clinton household/machine did due diligence? We'd like to speak with that person.
Who owns River Platte? Any of them bundlers? Any of them connected to Pearlman?
Did Hillary know about how River Platte 'stole' government phone lines? Why did she still do business with them if she did?
How about putting River Platte's public corporate records on-line and in easily readable format?

[Aypee] OAK BLUFFS, Mass. (AP) -- America's two foremost Democratic families - the Obamas and the Clintons - mingled on Saturday as politics mixed with summer repose on swanky Martha's Vineyard.
President Barack Obama, halfway through his annual two-week getaway on the Massachusetts island, teed off in the afternoon with former President Bill Clinton, trading compliments on the first hole. Later in the day, both presidents joined Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton at another Democratic luminary's birthday party.
"Good!" said a spry-looking Clinton, donning light blue pants and a dark shirt, after Obama made his putt on the first hole at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs. The former president then kneeled down to scope out his own putt before joining Obama on a golf cart to be driven to the second hole. I wonder what they might have had to talk about ?

May or may not affect his libido = alleged continuing extramarital cheating agz wife Hillary, though, iff the details of a new book by one of his former Secret Service detail is true???
