Hi, I'm one of the developers of this interactive graphic. If our search isn't doing it for you, why not download all the emails yourself? Check out our code to build a SQLite full-text database https://github.com/wsjdata/clinton-email-cruncher
It's almost a wonder they don't send the docs to you in hardcopy, printed in 4-point font like Lavabit.

I work with some colleagues who use this kind of conversation. Full disclosure: I am a female, they are also female. They wouldn't talk to you like that -- it's a female-female communication style with a lot of subtext, common in parts of corporate America as well. The majority (by far!) of my colleagues are male, and part of the subtext and context of this type of conversation is (1) to comment on things guys "can't…
Interesting perspective. Personally, I would find effusive praise of that kind profoundly weird, and uncomfortable, because it doesn't fit into the framework of mostly male-male communication I'm used to(relatively traditional, tinged with some ex-military vibes). In large part, the sign of doing a good job is the absence of criticism. Since you could almost always improve on your performance, there tends to always b…
Edit: I guess for context I should add we're both male.

> Clinton choosing to use a private email server was a big mistake, but Petraeus' actions are MUCH worse. Not even in the same category. Always great to hear from people who know how open investigations will be resolved. To be clear: HRC is accused not only of conducting official business in a manner that was completely unauthorized from an infosec perspective and in direct violation of both IC standards and a Presid…
> HRC is accused not only of.... No accusations have been leveled at Clinton, except in the press. That is, she has not been indicted, arrested, or charged. That's not a "Team Hillary" thing, that is the literal truth of the legal situation. Petraeus was charged and convicted.
That's your definition of "accusation"? By that standard, O.J. Simpson has no remaining accusations of homicide.
Does anyone doubt a grand that a Grand Jury would indict based on this evidence alone? I would like to see a Judge or Jury hear evidence and render a verdict here.

The State Department is a slow organization with internal careers. I feel like you see the same in a lot of other career, conservative, small number at the top, higher payoff if you get there fields (legal, medical, academia, finance). The amount of effort required to be sycophantic is minor in relation to the past 10+ years of work that your superior could torpedo on a whim.
Except that most of the people communicating directly with Secretary Clinton would have been political appointees who would have joined the organization from the outside. Don't get me wrong, it's still a hierarchical, traditional organization.
Given these are email , why the heck is the government providing PDFs of printouts? Why aren't they providing a text version?
Chelsea's email to B & H about her experience in Haiti is an informative read. I had assumed our disaster mitigation/rescue NGOs were a lot more effective than they actually are. They sound pretty awful, reading that email.
Why are they scanned pdfs of printed copies of the original e-mails? It's clear in several of these e-mails there are hyperlinks, which are completely lost.
It's akin to something like paying your property tax in pennies. Probably served as a nice "fuck you" to have them delivered as such. It also makes any sort of meaningful forensic auditing impossible.
