A federal judge has rejected the State Department’s plan to release most of Hillary Clinton’s emails as secretary of state in one large batch, insisting that the agency parcel out releases of the records over time.

U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras announced Tuesday his plans to order a “rolling production” of the emails just hours after the State Department proposed that it not be required to make the records public until January 2016, a lawyer involved said.

At a brief hearing on a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Vice News, Contreras did not set a specific date by which State must begin releasing the emails.

However, the judge gave the government one week to provide a schedule for the periodic release of records, Vice News lawyer Jeffrey Light said after the session.

2. Interesting? More like plain old common sense.

I understand that the State Department would rather wait and answer questions all at the same time rather than a few every week, but the need of the public to know and the obsession of the President for transparency needs to come first.

7. It works for Hillary

After the first two inane batches and boring questions coupled with republicans trying claim there is there there, the public is going to tune out and the whole non-episode will be over.

about illegal/improper/unethical finance,
then new rumors about Bill's transgressions/peccadillos,
with the grand finale of releases,
