I wonder if this is one of those stories where everyone has long since become numb to further evidence that Hillary is a liar. So now we're up to how many examples? One thousand what? What difference, at this point, does it make? But even if you don't think we need any more evidence of Hillary's dishonesty or recklessness with national security, there is still a lot of value to stories like this one:

In response to a public records lawsuit, the State Department is releasing Clinton’s emails monthly after partially or entirely redacting any containing sensitive U.S. or foreign government information. So far, it has released 45,830 pages of emails. Two weeks ago, the State Department designated 22 of previously reviewed emails “top secret” – the first time it has deemed any of Clinton’s emails to be classified at a level that can cause “exceptionally grave” damage to national security if disclosed. State Department spokesman John Kirby had declined to disclose the emails’ content – seven email chains totaling 37 pages – but said the intelligence community had requested the higher classification. The 22 emails will not be released to the public. The department is releasing other classified emails with some redactions. Clinton’s campaign has refuted the “top secret” designation and demanded that all of Clinton’s emails be released to the public.

Example number one would be the continued opportunity to point out what a lie that last sentence is - and the fact that supposedly unbiased media are continuing to tell it. Hillary is not demanding that all her e-mails be released to the public. Hillary personally deleted tens of thousands of e-mails from her server before turning over the rest in unsearchable hard copy, and now wants to pretend that everything she deemed to turn over is really everything. Every time the MSM repeat the claim bolded above, they knowingly fail to tell you the whole story. Also: The Clinton campaign knows perfectly well that the State Department can't just release everything all at once because they have to vet them for classified and top secret information, because contrary to what Hillary claims, show knows perfectly well there is lots of such information in there. It's easy to pretend you want something that you know can't happen, and that's what they're doing every time they publicly make this demand. Of course, in a certain sense, they'd probably love to have this all come out at once because then - or so they think - there's a chance the story would come to its conclusion and they wouldn't have to keep coming out with these lame prevarications when they'd rather be talking about more useful campaign talking points. Sorry. That's what happens when you risk the exposure of national security secrets just so you can solicit money for the Clinton Foundation and jawbone with Sidney Blumenthal in the hope no one will find out. Besides, once the FBI concludes its criminal investigation of her, there will yet be another story. Either 1. She's indicted; or 2. The Justice Department tries in vain to explain why she wasn't in spite of the clear evidence that she committed at least one felony - and probably many more. So no, this is not going away, and even if it no longer matters to you how many times she's exposed as a liar - it matters a lot to her, which is why we want as much of it as we can get.
