‘She Sets a Standard That Lesser Mortals Can Only Dream of’: New Hillary Emails Drop
A whole new batch of Hillary Clinton emails dropped tonight, and they include some more behind-the-scenes looks at communications between the former Secretary of State and the people around her.
First off, behold this incredibly over-the-top praise of Hillary Clinton as more than “lesser mortals”:

And the people around her also praised her for her 60 Minutes joint interview with President Obama in early 2013:

And there appear to be some cryptic references to a mutual friend of Clinton and successor John Kerry‘s:

There’s also a semi-amusing revelation that Chuck Schumer, who currently serves as a New York senator and used to do so alongside Clinton, was “happy she left the Senate”:

Clinton even wondered in one email if President Obama was really going to a Nelson Mandela event a year before he died amid the fiscal cliff crisis:

Oh, and then, of course, a reminder of how things work in Washington:
Jake Sullivan says he "spun" the State Department press corp but he's not sure if it worked. https://t.co/EZvbn6MOGO pic.twitter.com/LAE1BRW05q

And remember, this batch does not include the 22 emails the State Department deemed top secret.
We’ll update this post with any more emails of note.
