The State Department released another tranche of emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server Monday evening. While messages between Clinton and other State and administration officials concerning the most interesting and consequential subjects (like the Benghazi attacks) were heavily redacted, others continued to be revealing about how Clinton’s State Department operated.
One characteristic has been the obsequiousness of Clinton’s staff toward their boss, while another has been the the eagerness to engage in petty office politics. An email released Monday captured both of these qualities. On May 27, 2010, Philippe Reines, a senior advisor to Clinton involved primarily with communications, emailed Clinton’s private email address ([email protected]), copying fellow aides Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan. The subject line was “Women.”
“I for one loved that you finally called out the ogrish males on your staff who roll their eyes at womens [sic] issues and events,” wrote Reines. “But fyi I’m pretty sure I saw [redacted] roll their eyes at the very moment that you were obviously referring to them.”
“They just don’t get it,” Reines added, presumably referring to the “ogrish male” who rolled his eyes.
