new information about her ties to sidney blumenthal and the fact that he was talking to british prime minister gordon brown on her behalf. he was not officially a state department employee. obama white house officials banned him from working at the state department because of political dirty tricks. so she was working with blumenthal secretly behind the scenes. republicans on that select benghazi committee in the house are saying that's a snapshot because hillary clinton deleted over 30,000 emails. >> we don't know if hillary clinton has turned over all the emails yet. and the fact that there were 60 new emails that we got that we had not previously had. >> reporter: the clinton campaign is charging this is all about politics. they charged that republican trey gowdy is spending $8,000 a day in coming up with nothing new. listen to this. >> do you know more today about who is responsible for hitting our consulate in benghazi? >> no. but i never expected sidney blumenthal to tell me that anyway. >> you can see that highly produced video from the campaign. >> in fact we are now seeing da

one of the take aways, sidney blumenthal having a greater role than originally believed. they were in regular contact about a host of issues months after became secretary of state. hillary clinton pushed for him to get a job at the state department. as far as claims e-mails were unsolicited, one e-mail shows her asking are you still wake? i will call you if you are. former president carter powell axle rod and emanuel corresponded with her. clinton's aids asked permission before giving her e-mail address. she spoke about concerns with president obama after considering a joint interview with kissisjer. she wrote to an aid. if i was dealing with that poe tus, i'd camp in his office to prevent him from doing something problematic. do you see this as a problem?

on benghazi for example, the back and forth with sidney blumenthal which i know you'll go into detail on later. >> we are. >> you're about to go into a briefing where admiral john kirby is at that post from the pentagon. we may dip back in live to get some questions. think of some. >> we'll be ready. >>> turns out our take is a few friends and a hack saw to break out of prison. that's what we're learning from david sweat, the inmate who escaped clinton correctional in upstate new york before being shot and captured on sunday. sweat and his deceased accomplice richard matt didn't even need power tools to bust through the walls and the steam pipes. they even did a test run and picked alternate routes. rod wheeler a former d.c. homicide detective. joe, a staff writer at press republican in plattsburgh. joe, you first. i understand you have breaking news new information at the prison about some sort of protest that may be happening. what can you tell us? >> well i talked to some of the guards today. they're not happy with the lockouts 12 employees there. what they're talking about is a wo

we also see her traffic sidney blumenthal and her campaign strategist basically bag on obama. here is a bad poll for barack obama in ohio. it sounds like somebody who is thinking about running for election in 2012. bill: our audience will hear a lot that the obama team did not want sidney blumenthal around while she wanted to hire him at the state department. >> he was the guy who came up with the most withering roughest toughest stuff about obama in the 2008 primary campaign. he was famed for his willingness to do, say go, and be. he has an ax, and a sharp one. presumably the president himself said i don't want this hatchet man hanging arounded the administration because he's bad news. bill: let's circle back to benghazi. hillary clinton said this to cheryl mills. i just heard an npr report about the station chief in tripoli sending a cable on 9-12 saying there was no demonstration et cetera. do you know about this. cheryl mills response, have not seen, we'll see if we can get it. that was october 19, more than a month after. what does that tell us? >> part of what you see in

including some exchanged with controversial advisor sidney blumenthal.menthal, former senior advisor to president clinton was reportedly prohibited from taking a job at the state department by the obama administration but nonetheless the emails show hillary clinton regularly communicated with blumenthal exchanging some sensitive information, even getting notes on him from speeches she had given while secretary of state. only 7% of clinton's emails have been released. we're expectinged to see many more in the weeks to come. we'll reveal anything important to you. adam? adam: liz what is the impact from the email fallout. what impact will it have on 2016 email run? we have a democratic pollster and democratic strategist. ron chris at this, ceo of christie strategies and former assistant to vice president dick cheney and "forbes" political analyst, carrie sheffield. one email talking about rugs she saw, wanted to find out they were made. is there anything serious jeopardize her we've seen? >> not from the rugs, no. how to work the fax, no. but it raises que

but i'm very curious to see how sidney blumenthal's role plays out going forward. number three, this is really disturbing. the same person who was responsible for the lois lesh lerner e-mails that evaporated or got lost that same kathryn duval is overseeing this e-mail release or document dump every month. you have to wonder if she did it before and if there's any funny business that went on before with lois lerner which a lot of us do, is there going to be the same amount of coverup or games being played with these e-mails? >> you can imagine, juan the white house is probably not very happy at the moment. >> no. smee she broke the rules. you asked eric earlier do you buy this about axelrod's statement? dana if i send you an e-mail i know you have a private or secret e-mail account. i don't know that the server is necessarily different. >> correct. >> i don't know that. >> that really wasn't the question. that wasn't the original question. when her e-mails, private e-mail account, the questions at the white house briefing included the question of did you guys know

join me in welcoming don doyle and sidney blumenthal. [applause] >> i'd like to introduce don doyle this evening. it is my great honor to appear here at the lincoln cottage especially on this date, which is the 150th anniversary of appomattox and i would like don doyle, who has written this marvelous book, that i hope you all read -- the single best book on the international aspects of the civil war -- to begin by setting the scene and talking about 150 years ago on april 9th. >> on this day, abraham lincoln was coming back from his trip to richmond after it had fallen and had visited the troops at city point, and there he had a french visitor, the marquee who was -- i learned a relative of the marquee delafayette and there with shambrun he asked the military plan to play the anthem of the french republic, which had been banned under the second empire of napoleon iii and lincoln remarked that it was odd that a frenchman had to come to america to listen to this famous anthem and the band played it and lincoln said i rather like that tune.

before we talk about that, i think the steady stream of e-mails will embarrass her every time sidney blumenthal is out there. i don't think that the benghazi hearings are going to be a big deal. it is not going to really work. in 1983 marines were blown out of their barracks and they were not holding congressional hearings. john: we do not know what will come of the e-mail inquiry in there could be a significant problem that will arise. we see occasions in which e-mails have been asked for by the committee. it turned out there were some that had not been sent because they had not been turned over. there are questions they keep arising out of this e-mail thing. i think it is not a small problem for her. being able to raise enough money to go toe to toe with jeb bush -- if you did not have that ability, the campaign would be dead. that matters more, i think. al: you are right. today, president obama announced that the u.s. and cuba will open and the seas in the capitals reviving diplomatic relationships for the first time since 1961. president obama: it is another demonstration that we don't have

one of the takeaways, sidney blumenthal did had a greater role than people initially believed. host of issues just months after clinton became secretary of state. the documents show clinton pushed for him to get a job at the state department. blumenthal acted as an intermediary in the peace process and urged -- >> sidney blumenthal was involved as an intermediary in northern ireland. whoa. >> i think he was hounding her with e-mails, just front pages of the "new york times" and -- >> that's what you hope. >> i sincerely hope that. >> holy cow. >> she wasn't saying stop e-mailing me she was clearly accepting what he was -- >> maybe she's overly polite. >> pushing for tony blair? >> bigger role than we thought. >> much bigger. >> and she did want him to get a job at the state department and obama administration didn't think that was a good idea. the e-mails were unsolicited and one asks are you still awake? i will call if you are. kol powell and rahm emanuel all communicated with clinton. clinton appears concerned about her access to president obama when considering a joint inter
