shocked face here
The State Department on Friday will release roughly 2,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's emails, but will delay the final batch of messages until after voters go to the polls in early primary states.
In a court filing late on Thursday evening, the department insisted that it "regrets" its inability to publish the final 7,000 pages on Friday, as a federal court ordered it to do last year.
Yet it defended the delay, blaming an internal oversight and the snowstorm that crippled Washington in the past week.
As part of the process of making the emails public, the State Department is required to have other agencies review Clinton's emails to check if any information should be redacted or marked as classified.
According to the department, it simply "missed" sending roughly 7,000 pages of emails to other agencies, and did not notice the oversight until earlier this month. Its efforts to correct the problem were further delayed by the snowstorm, which closed the federal government through Wednesday.
The department has not even sent out documents to 12 agencies to review, it said.
Last week, the department pushed to delay the final deadline until Feb. 29.
As the journalist who sued the department to force the emails' release pointed out, however, that would be after voters in the first four primary states have gone to the polls. which is the whole point
At this point, those who care about such things have already made up their minds, and those who don't care get their news from sources that will tell them its unimportant.
Remember that the "October surprise" only works against Pubs, never Democrats...

The intelligence community has deemed some of Hillary Clinton’s emails “too damaging" to national security to release under any circumstances, according to a U.S. government official close to the ongoing review. A second source, who was not authorized to speak on the record, backed up the finding. Is it possible Hillary is going down and Bloomberg will take her place?

[CBSNews]. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said she was open to appointing President Obama as a Supreme Court justice.
Clinton acknowledged that the next president might have the opportunity to appoint several Supreme Court justices. Nearly half of the court -- four of the nine justices -- has served on it for 20 to 30 years and are either over the age of 80 or approaching it.
"We need new justices who actually understand the challenges we face," Clinton said. We need Justices that believe the Constitution means what it says. Is Hillary offering this to get Obama to put the kibosh on any possible charges? Is this Obama's price for doing so? Inquiring minds want to know.

if we had a real media watchdog I think they would question Hillary's judgment at appointing a person who has been in front of the court repeatedly for violating the constitution as a judge who would now be on the Supreme Court.
But then again she did just gain Chief Justice John Roberts' support.

Nah, she's just playing to a portion of the free-stuff crowd - a way of elevating Obama to deity status.

The donk's view the constitution as an impediment to gut/circumvent. The supreme court has positioned itself to be the tool of choice for gutting the constitution. All that is needed is five justices willing to sell their souls.

1 - requires actual work to be put on display for public review
* - yeah, I know the clerks can write it but this is a man who demands he is the smartest in the room and unlikely to pick 'bright' clerks.
2 - no travel time

After the revelations of this afternoon I may have to revise my "what ifs". Could Bloomberg be substituted for Hillary at the last minute to save the Presidency for the Democrats?

OMG, that would be waaaay too much work. It would also be evident very quickly, to his peers and his clerks, that his legal mind is as flabby and puny as his physique. And he knows it. Hillary may as well have offered to make him an NFL quarterback. What a b!tch! LOL
