In reply to the discussion: JK on Clinton emails [View all]karynnj
(59,942 posts)28. Today's press briefing had several questions on the missing (or partly missing) 15 emails

Yesterday, the state department told the committee and media that they did not get all the Blumenthal emails that Blumenthal gave the committee. It seems they are handling this very professionally, spending the time needed to check things out thoroughly.
My observations from this press conference is that:
1) they are refusing to be pushed to speculate on how many other emails could be missing (really stupid question as it is impossible without an inventory of all emails received and sent by HRC for work - which does not exist).
2) Kirby, the spokesman, went out of his way to detail that Kerry's direction is to be cooperative -- even if they are expanding their charter.
3) What was clear is that defending Clinton was definitely not as much their goal as carefully and methodically processing the emails as promised is.
Posted at the end of this thread because I did not want to attract outside attention, but knew some here might want to see it - Kerry is clearly not covering for HRC.

So, given that the emails were subject to various inquiries, it was ok the SD did not have them?

The SD didn't even ask for them--from her OR her predecessors--until a few months ago.
