Newly released Clinton emails shed light on relationship between State Dept. and Clinton Foundation

Washington (CNN)Newly released emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state raise questions about the nature of the department's relationship with the Clinton Foundation. Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, released 296 pages of emails from the Democratic presidential nominee, including 44 that Judicial Watch says were not previously handed over to the State Department by Clinton. The emails, many of which are heavily redacted, raise questions about the Clinton Foundation's influence on the State Department and its relations during her tenure.

In one instance, top Clinton Foundation official Doug Band lobbied Clinton aides for a job for someone else in the State Department. In the email, Band tells Hillary Clinton's former aides at the department -- Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin -- that it is "important to take care of (redacted)." Band is reassured by Abedin that "Personnel has been sending him options."

The emails were obtained by the group through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch against the State Department in 2015. The group did not respond to a CNN request for comment. The Trump campaign seized at the new batch of emails, citing them as evidence of Clinton being corrupt. The prolonged investigations into her use of a private email server while at the State Department has fueled public distrust of her and plagued her presidential bid. But the Justice Department declined to press charges against Clinton for her handling of classified information related to the server earlier this year, with FBI Director James Comey saying while she was "extremely careless," it was his judgment that "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

Something very incriminating must be coming on Friday afternoon for the Clinton News Network to get out ahead of the pack with this...

Didn’t congress request that the FBI investigate klintoon for lying to congress?
Guess the comey non-referral was a blank stack of get-out-of-jail-free cards.

They are so corrupt that they don’t care. If Trump were to become President, that would ruin the game the 2 (cough, cough)sides have got going on the hill.

“’Relationship” sounds so much better than ‘collusion.’”

That’s because leftists are so warm and fuzzy; they really care about feelings. When rightists are corrupt, it’s so cold and businesslike.
