Even as a European*, I find this of interest, because of the level of corruption it shows.
Headline: "Clinton Was 'Extremely Careless' With Email But Should Not Be Charged".
In his statement, Comey said that the FBI's investigation had found 110 emails on Clinton's servers that had contained classified information when they were sent or received, of which eight contained material at the highest classification level of "top secret." Noting that this information was being stored on "unclassified personal servers" less secure even than commercial services like Gmail and that Clinton's use of the private account was widely known, Comey said it was "possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account." Said Comey: "Any reasonable person should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that kind of information."
So: The FBI knows that she mishandled classified information. When you receive your security clearance, you are informed of the rules and the penalties for breaking them. Storing Secret, much less Top Secret information on a civilian server outside the control of the government violates those rules.
Yet, she will not be prosecuted. She was just "careless", no big deal. Laws are for the little people.
*Full disclosure: I used to be American, but turned in my passport some years ago. Various reasons, not least of which are the US tax policies. But the politics (The Shrub, Obama, and now...possibly Hillary!) - it's like a banana republic, only with nukes.

Wikileaks has published some of Clinton's e-mails, concerning the war in Iraq, that it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

I wish they would clarify if this is the threatened cache of emails that would lock her up. I wish Wikileaks would just quit being so coy.

The ones in that list are from FOIA results that predate the threat.
I don't even know why they are on the site. They aren't leaks.

I don't think it is. From the article:
The emails stem from a State Department release back in February
It sounds like this release is just stuff that was already public, so I'm not sure what the point if it is, other than maybe organizing things by topic.

Until they say otherwise, I'm going to assume that's all the email wikileaks has on her.
And while in the past I've been a strong supporter, including the 'collateral murder' video, this is some seriously lame bullshit. Almost like Assange wants to make wikileaks look pathetic.

Nice pattern here.
