Email reveals Clinton sought to assist Md. marriage effort

[dlwickham]

The latest batch of Hillary Clinton emails made public by the State Department reveals she made an effort in 2012 to help with passage of same-sex marriage in Maryland, even though at the time she had yet to come out for gay nuptials.

The message is part of the batch of around 5,500 pages of emails made public on Thursday by the State Department, which is making them available on an incremental basis as a result of a court order.

In a Feb. 20, 2012 email, Clinton sought to inform Georgetown law professor University Peter Edelman an attempt was made on her behalf to convince then-Rep. Sam Arora to support legislation in favor of same-sex marriage.

“Pls let him know Bill called — unsuccessfully,” Clinton wrote.

1. First time in months I feel grateful to Mrs. Clinton.

That was a good gesture on her part.
