Hillary Clinton’s top aides privately debated whether to joke about her emerging email scandal, if they should shift some blame to former secretaries of state and how to frame, explain and defend her use of a homebrewed server in a series of purported March 2015 emails revealed by WikiLeaks this week.
The emails, which originated on the Gmail account of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta, paint a portrait of a political team alternately worried and defiant in the face of their boss’ mushrooming email disclosure. Through the early days of the email revelations, and even throughout the summer as further discoveries turned up the heat, Clinton’s group sweated the minutiae of her carefully crafted responses in an attempt to keep the campaign’s preferred narrative on track.
As the scandal evolved during the summer of 2015, aides suddenly had to combat reports that classified information may have been emailed, leading Clinton to eventually modify her original denials to say she had never “sent nor received any email that was marked classified.” On Aug. 21, her team was debating a new statement addressing the issue. Press secretary Brian Fallon emailed communications director Jennifer Palmieri to flag a potential issue.

Have they been released ?
I only heard they have been given to wiki for inspection
1) I can see why you might not want to *say* who the turnover was >>> to, but it seems to me omitting this may be misinterpreted and certainly >>> will trigger another round of questioning. This may defeat the whole point >>> of the exercise. The statement could be read to imply we turned over the >>> thumb drive and server to the State Department—which we didn’t (“There >>> they go again—misleading, devious, non-transparent, tricky etc.”). I would >>> recommend saying “to the Department of Justice.”

Looks like the Hillary Campaign was really worried about the ensuing Hillary Server scandal as it was being exposed.
They went over several points and had to make decisions that were going to be best for the "Candidate".
Things like placing some blame on past Secretaries of State and how to handle the classified material issues that they obviously knew about before the FBI and several other government agencies proved Hillary had been (and still is) lying like crazy.
This is coming from the now well known Campaign Chairman John Podesta emails.
One good one was they contemplated making the whole issue into a comedy to get the big heat off her back.
Hillary has still not fully explained why she has been lying her way through the entire scandal.
