The only thing new in this State Department release is the identity of the people on the email chains.
The FBI had these emails all along and Comey said only three emails had any classification markings - and they weren't top secret.
If this article is true then Comey flat out lied under oath to Congress and he will be prosecuted.
Okay, thanks!

I hope I’m right too. And I hope that enough changes, or changes back, in America so that you do see it.
All true, but the article says the emails were "clearly marked" when they weren't.
“More precisely, it [free press clause of first amendment] was to prevent the government from shutting down the press, but it does not prevent the government from co-opting the press.
Really? That would surprise me, since co-opting necessarily involves lack of independence, and therefore lack of freedom.
I’ll have to go read it....
