The State Department will release 550 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server this weekend after pressure from a federal judge who earlier this week appeared visibly annoyed at its delayed efforts.
In a court filing late Wednesday night, State Department official Eric Stein told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that department staffers have made “significant progress†on preparing the emails for release.
As a result, the department will now be able to release the roughly 550 emails — roughly 14 percent of the 3,700 remaining Clinton emails — on Saturday, in the middle of the Presidents Day holiday weekend. The department had previously said it could not release the emails until late next week.
Releasing the emails on Saturday “provides time to address any additional problems that may arise,†Stein wrote, “as have occurred in the past at this final stage in the process.â€
The Obama administration is already more than a week behind schedule on the emails, which were all supposed to have been released by Jan. 29.
But last month, in a surprise announcement shortly ahead of the Iowa caucuses, the department said the last of Clinton’s emails would not be made public until the end of February.
Before Judge Rudolph Contreras on Tuesday, the administration said that it could not even release a fraction of those emails until at least next Thursday. In Stein’s filing late on Wednesday, however, he claimed that the State Department had brought on “additional resources†that have helped it speed up the process.

Sleaziness at the highest levels of government.
Again.
How convenient, just do it over a federal holiday.
They were shooting for halftime of the Super Bowl.
How low can Hillary go?
That's nothing. The Ubama administration is still holding back Eric Holder's files on F&F that were subpoenaed four or more years ago. And that's with a final decision by a judge a couple of weeks ago that they had to turn them over.
Over Presidents Day weekend, how fitting.
Six feet would be fine with me. Then I could piss on her grave.
