USA Today: State Dept. releases hundreds of Clinton Benghazi emails

By Paul Singer and Mary Troyan, May 22, 2015, USA Today

WASHINGTON — The State Department is releasing hundreds of Hillary Clinton's emails relating to the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi Friday. The emails are from the personal email account she used while she was secretary of State.

The department declared in a tweet before the files were released that "the emails we release today do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the events before, during, or after the attacks.

That is unsurprising, said Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who chairs the House Benghazi committee that is investigating the matter, because the emails were selected and vetted by Clinton's own attorneys.

"To assume a self-selected public record is complete, when no one with a duty or responsibility to the public had the ability to take part in the selection, requires a leap in logic no impartial reviewer should be required to make and strains credibility," he said in a statement Friday.
