Shameful! Twitter is now being flooded with Hillary's personal emails. (HILLARY GROUP)

So far, nothing scandalous or extremely personal, mostly mundane, but unnecessary and...shameful. One Tweeter Tweeted that no other political figure would be subjected to something like this. Her emails are being looked through by reporters and media outlets and selected emails made public, one by one.

And there's nothing there that was classified at the time.

china cups, tea, TV shows and other mundane things. They don't care if her privacy is being violated, as long as they're being entertained. No wonder Hillary was in no rush to turn things over. It always devolves into scrutiny of their private life.

7. So now I get why HRC requested that all her emails be released.

Initially I thought SoS emails should never be made public. And I still do. But HRC is going before the GOP KKKochroach House Committe on Benghazi. By making all of her emails public, it makes it much much much harder for wingnuts, righties and racists to control the narrative about her emails. So it is actually a good strategy.

I knew damned well they just wanted her emails to give them fodder for their smear campaign against her. They will do anything to take her out.

They absolutely don't learn lessons. There are some who will love the entertainment of seeing her emails splashed all over, but most will be appalled.

All the emails have done is help Hillary Clinton seem just like the rest of us. She goes out for drinks and watches Parks and Rec.

Mundane things. IMHO. I heard that only about 25% of her emails have been released thus far. We have month after month of this crap to endure.

Clinton emails: Gefilte fish, TV shows and redactions

Story highlights

The latest batch of 7,000 Hillary Clinton emails will be released Monday night by the State Department
About 150 of those emails have information that was retroactively classified, State says

Washington (CNN)The newest trove of more than 7,000 of Hillary Clinton's emails were released Monday night by the State Department, showcasing more of the mundane political notes and scheduling requests that have made up earlier releases.

That's despite 125 of those emails -- which weren't classified at the time -- being retroactively classified before they were released. All or portions of some unclassified emails are redacted, too.

The emails show Clinton was a little obsessed with criticism from Fox News, once closely tracked a trade dispute involving gefilte fish and was eager to check out NBC's "Parks and Recreation" and CBS' "The Good Wife."

They highlight her close relationship with Sidney Blumenthal and even feature an IT staffer trying to figure out why her email -- which wasn't a government one -- was causing bounce-backs.

Here are some of the most interesting notes included in Friday's release:

15. some of those classifications after the fact were really stupid or mundane
Tue Sep 1, 2015, 10:31 AM

mundane: someone wrote her that Jimmy Carter wanted to speak with her and gave his phone number: that was redacted and considered confidential. True, but no big deal

silly: redacting info about a publicly available paper of some sort

-----------

She shouldn't be given favors, but she shouldn't be treated worse than anyone else in government.
She is being treated much worse.
