Election Humor

Hillary’s leaked emails mainly contain coupons and office banter

In the past week, additional batches of Hillary Clinton’s emails were released by WikiLeaks.

Clinton’s emails have many Americans concerned, but the overwhelming majority have never actually even seen any of them. Even though the emails are readily available online, most Americans don’t have the time or ability to read. So, that’s why The Daily Orange hired a bunch of barbers to comb through every single one of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Just like the FBI, they didn’t find much.

To prove it, I picked some random email chains sent during Clinton’s time as U.S. secretary of state, on April 11, 2012, which I copied and pasted for your pleasure.

Subject: The Nigerian Royal Family Help
From: Nigerian Prince Daniel

Hello,
I am from the royal family of Nigeria and rebels have kicked us out of power. We need a small loan of $5,000 to pay our troops and we will give you back $300,000 once we regain power …

 

Seems like a very normal day in the life of a secretary of state. No government secrets there. Wonder if she ever helped the Nigerian family — I mean, that’s what our state department is there for, isn’t it?

Josh Feinblatt is a sophomore television, radio, film major. He’s waiting for his $15,000 reimbursement from that Nigerian prince that he’s been emailing with for the past month. You can follow him on Twitter @josh_is_fein or reach him at jfeinbla@syr.edu.
