MODESTY FORBADE HER:
No Big Revelations in Unearthed Benghazi Emails (BYRON TAU, Sep 7, 2016, wsj)
The State Department made public three emails related to the Benghazi attacks on Wednesday that were forensically recovered as part of an investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server, all of which contained only mundane correspondence with the former secretary of state. [...]"The email is from Tom Shannon to Cheryl Mills. Shannon was complimenting Secretary Clinton on her January 2013 Hill testimony. Ms. Mills then forwarded it to Secretary Clinton. The email doesn't change the facts that have previously been made clear about the Benghazi attacks," State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement.Mr. Shannon at the time was serving as U.S. ambassador to Brazil and now is serving as under secretary for political affairs at the State Department. In the 2013 note, he wrote to Mrs. Clinton's top aide Cheryl Mills: "Please extend to the Secretary my congratulations for her her testimony today before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I watched with great admiration as she dealt with a tough and personally painful issue in a fair, candid and determined manner."
