WASHINGTON — The State Department asked a federal court Friday for a one-month extension to publish the last of Hillary Clinton’s emails during her time as secretary of state, citing a complex review of some messages across different agencies of the government.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the department wouldn’t be able to meet its court-mandated goal of Jan. 29. About 9,400 of 55,000 pages are left, but Toner said those remaining “contain a large amount of material that required interagency review.”

The department will make public as many as possible next week, he said, but is asking for the final deadline to be pushed back until Feb. 29.

“State Department staff have been working extremely hard to process these emails, and we are committed to getting them out,” Toner said. “The court’s goal for this month’s production represented the largest number of pages to date. The remaining emails are also the most complex to process.”

3. that's exactly what they will do

They have released 80% of the emails. From various accounts, they have a out 2000 they can release after review from just the State Department.

The problem is between 7000 and 8000 (I can not remember the exact number) need review from another department. Here someone really screwed up and did not send them earlier to the other departments. Given they are ALL deemed to contain stuff that could be classified, but originated elsewhere, those are the worst emails.

Personally, I don't think this helps Clinton - especially if the SD were told get everything you can out by the end of the month and then release things on a daily basis. That would make this a daily story.

I assume HRC would rather all the emails be out, even though that was never going to really end the story. Not to mention, the story is still that she made her own rules.

4. They are looking for these

"Let the assholes in Benghazi die"

"I don't care about the American people."

"Let them eat cake."

Somehow no one has figured out that these big, bad emails were never written. What a waste of time and effort.
