Last night, the State Department released the first of several document dumps to the media and world. Why is this of interest you ask? Well, the documents dumped were approximately 3,000 of the 55,000 so-called “private” emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton sent in 2009 while Secretary of State. You can read them here. The emails themselves are entertaining on multiple levels. So grab your glass of wine and a giant bowl of popcorn and get ready to enjoy the show!

In fact, as you read further you’ll understand why many across the media, social media, and political spectrum are alternately laughing, cringing, shaking their heads in disbelief, and expressing valid concerns about her abilities to function.

Who is Santa? As the Daily Mail points out, it could be any number of people such as a hairdresser, Secret Service agent,… its anyone’s guess at this point.

Fax machines and Hillary don’t work well together.

Evidently communication between Hillary and Bill is…non-existent.

Functionality is an issue. Hillary and her staff couldn’t keep track of meetings, especially Cabinet meetings. In fact, sometimes they heard about meetings while listening or watching the news.

Proof that they really do learn about everything from the news.#HillaryEmails pic.twitter.com/SOenOu5Ljj

There are three things even more troubling about the emails released thus far. First, contrary to what many politicians have been denying at the top of their lungs, the emails show that yes they were VERY aware that Hillary had a private email account.

Political operative David Axelrod had her email address almost from the start, specifically asking her chief of staff for it in 2009, but claimed just weeks ago that he was unaware of it.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel wrote to her at the now-infamous ‘HDR22@clintonemail.com.’
So did outgoing Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski; socialite 1-percenter Lynn Forester de Rothschild; Bill Clinton-era former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger; former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s wife Cherie; retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark; liberal think tank chief John Podesta of the Center for American Progress; and lawyer-lobbyist Lanny Davis – who was later shamed for taking millions from West African strongmen.

Even more troubling is the fact that Sidney Blumenthal wasn’t just a lowly peon at the Clinton Foundation with the not-so low salary of $10,000 a month, nor is he just an “old friend.”

From that perch, he sent Hillary a steady stream of intelligence briefings on Libya, including some around the time of the deadly 2012 terror attacks.
During an Iowa campaign stop in May, Clinton told reporters that Blumenthal had sent her ‘unsolicited emails’ containing advice.
But in 2009 she was in regular contact with him to ask for his counsel, the latest released emails show.
‘Are you still awake?’ she emailed him at 10:35 one October night. ‘I will call if you are.’

The third is the issue of the emails that are now considered “confidential,” (a step below secret) by the State Department, despite Hillary’s insistence to the contrary back in March.

Perhaps as she said, using a private email account was “convenient.” However, when quite a few of those emails the State Department combed through are now considered “confidential” then Hillary has problems.

Should be game over. Mishandling classified materials is a fed. crime (see Petraeus, David H.) #HillaryEmails via @AP pic.twitter.com/7ZsFwxSBrA

With these emails we see a person who operated in a weird exile of her own making. I mean seriously, the White House Senior Advisor and the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel had to ask for her permission to email her!!

You gotta ask who's on first when @StateDept has to get Secretary's approval for WH Chief of Staff to have your email addy. #HillaryEmails

You really can’t make this stuff up! And folks, this is just Act One of the email document dump.

What other bombshells, lessons, lies, and incompetence will surface next?  Will it be round 2 with the fax machine or more “Santa” visits? Perhaps we’ll discover more of her lobbying activities, where Bill is, or find out who else she gave clothing advice to!  Yes, many of the email exchanges are humorous, stupid, and show her inability to function. But we cannot forget one important fact. Hillary LIED about having an email account.  What else has she lied about? What else WILL she lie about? Keep your eyes peeled for Act Two of the email dump and maybe we’ll find out.
