It just got much easier to read Hillary Clinton’s emails.
On Monday, whistleblowing website WikiLeaks tweeted a link to 1,258 emails that it claims were sent and received by the former Secretary of State pertaining to the war in Iraq.

The emails were part of a trove of 30,322 emails made available by the U.S. State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request, according to WikiLeaks.
While the emails were available since February of this year, the tweet was timed to Wednesday’s release of the so-called Chilcot report, which will outline the U.K.’s involvement in the Iraq war. According to the New York Times, the report “is likely to be the definitive assessment of a conflict that is widely seen in Britain as the worst foreign policy blunder since the 1956 Suez crisis.”

The release also coincided with an announcement made Tuesday by FBI director James Comey FBI Director James Comey that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a criminal case against Hillary Clinton and that the organization found “no intentional misconduct.”
“Although there is evidence of potential violations, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said in a press statement.“We are expressing to [the] Justice [department] our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.”
The Justice department will now make the final decision as to whether to bring charges against Clinton for using a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has said that she expects to follow the FBI’s recommendation.
