Clinton tried to cool the brewing firestorm late on Wednesday, saying she wanted the State Department to release the emails quickly. But a senior State Department official told Reuters on Thursday the task would take time. "The review is likely to take several months given the sheer volume of the document set," the official said. At the same time, the department is investigating whether Clinton violated policies intended to protect sensitive information when she conducted all of her official business through a personal account while serving as secretary from 2009 to 2013, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing a senior department official. Using personal email did not automatically break rules, but the department is determining whether work emails sent from that private account contained information that must be handled on a system meeting specific security protocols, the Washington Post reported. The State Department has said there was no prohibition during Clinton's tenure on using personal email for official business as long as it was preserved. It had no immediate comment on the Washington Post report. Fox News on Thursday released a State Department cable sent from the secretary's office in 2011 reviewing some email policies that encouraged employees to avoid conducting official business from personal accounts. An extended review or investigation could dash any Clinton hopes of putting the controversy to rest quickly. "I want the public to see my email," Clinton said in a tweet. "I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible." The controversy landed Clinton in trouble just as she prepares to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. It has prompted some Democrats to wonder whether someone else should be their candidate in the bid to succeed President Barack Obama. A total of 55,000 pages of documents covering the time Clinton was in office has been turned over, according to the State Department. But Clinton and her aides controlled that process, and the emails were not archived on government servers. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters during a visit to Saudi Arabia that the State Department would review the documents "as rapidly as possible." Clinton's tweeted statement came hours after a congressional committee investigating the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, subpoenaed her emails. The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi demanded all Clinton communications related to the incident and told Internet companies to protect relevant documents. The panel's Republican chairman, Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, told reporters he wanted the documents within two weeks or a "really good explanation" for why not. Republicans have scrutinized Clinton's actions regarding the Benghazi attack in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed and have also criticized Clinton's transparency and ethics. The former first lady and U.S. senator has been a lightning rod for Republican detractors dating back to the administration of her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Clinton is the presumptive favorite for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, and there was no sign the controversy was forcing a change of plans. A Democratic source familiar with campaign planning said to expect a Clinton announcement on her intentions in the spring. The Republican National Committee's top lawyer on Thursday asked the State Department's inspector general to investigate if Clinton's email use violated federal law. (Additional reporting by Susan Cornwell, Amanda Becker, Lisa Lambert and Peter Cooney; Writing by John Whitesides; Editing by Leslie Adler and Lisa Shumaker)(Reuters) - A growing controversy over Democrat Hillary Clinton's use of personal email for work while she was U.S. secretary of state could drag on for months, threatening to cloud the expected launch of her 2016 presidential campaign.
It is called government largesse; otherwise known as government subterfuge. There is good news, however, US citizens are used to the bullshit and accept it as standard practice.

Hillary's daughter, Chelsea Hubble, has a face that could stop a clock.
Slap a picture, on this thread, of her beautiful face. That bitch is another upcoming politician.
Lacking any decent candidates, or anything resembling a pro-American plan... the GOP has decided to go on the attack. Start with a fishing expidition, and then move on to "catapult the propaganda" as George W. Bush would say. Wouldn't it be easier to just come up with some real reason to vote for Republicans?
Both US government controlled political parties prove a problem in American politics: they are both homgenized political machines; they are inbreeding mechanitions not concerned with the USA based on the US Constitution. The day-by-day news clearly tells everyone the facts whether the preety face presented is on the Internet or not.
Let me guess that isn't all of her e-mails, especially the ones that prove without a doubt to even the dumbest people who have ever walked the face of the planet that Hitlery is a total incompetent nincompoop.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I am going to predict it will take until at least 1 month after the election results and the new president is sworn in,and then it will be a moot point and the whole thing will be dropped. Some pigs really ARE more "equal" than other pigs. This is especially true of wrinkled old sows that were married to President Pigs.

Yes,but if they did that,why would anybody vote for a neo-con?

Too early to tell whether one of them may be a decent candidate. I am only considering whether one of them might attract votes, not whether I would like him/her as a candidate. It's not altogether clear yet whether this is a GOP attack or a Clinton move to get this out of the way before the campaign begins.
