The U.S. State Department just released about 3,000 pages of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email, giving reporters some unexpected homework on Tuesday night.

The U.S. State Department just released about 3,000 pages of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email, giving reporters some unexpected homework on Tuesday night.

They don’t cover the time period after the 2012 Benghazi attack in Libya occurred. The messages are dated roughly between March and December of 2009 in her first year as the country’s top diplomat.

That’s when Clinton and other senior leaders in President Barack Obama’s administration were grappling with the U.S. military surge in Afghanistan, troop withdrawals from Iraq, and the failed 2009 Christmas Day underwear bombing. And if a similar email dump this past May is any indication, there are likely to be some juicy insider tidbits about how the 2016 Democratic front-runner ran American diplomacy.

You can read the emails here.
