Most of the emails available for review online tend to contain more of the same: mundane yet sometimes entertaining communications between Clinton and her aides. In one email, Clinton complained that she no longer has \"emoticons\" on her new blackberry. The email is titled simply \":-(\" -- a sad face emoticon.

In another email, Clinton recounts the \"weirdest exchange ever\" between a woman who told \"Bill\" (presumably her husband) that \"her father 'circumcised Bin Laden.'\"

In July of 2011, Clinton joked with a State Department employee that maybe her email was hacked by the Chinese. In reality, Clinton's campaign has said her email has never been breached, despite claims from her political rivals that her methods were not secure.

Clinton critics have most recently seized on the documents referenced by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, during Clinton’s marathon testimony in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week. One of them was from Clinton to her daughter Chelsea on the night of the Benghazi attack and suggested that Clinton knew al Qaeda-linked militants were involved from the beginning, rather than unrest stirred up by an anti-Islam video.

Clinton defended her communications that night, testifying to the committee that she wrote those things at the time because militia group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed credit for the attack on social media, only to retract that claim days later.

There were also intelligence assessments indicating the video played a role in the attack.

Clinton's camp declined comment on the latest batch of emails.
