A conservative watchdog group on Saturday released seven more emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aides that the State Department later determined contained classified information.

The emails, between government employees and aides at the private Clinton Foundation, were among a batch of emails that Citizens United received under a Freedom of Information Act request. State Department officials redacted the sensitive emails before turning them over to the watchdog.

The new emails, which were about Haiti, offer more evidence of how tightly plugged in the Clinton Foundation was to the State Department during Clinton’s tenure as America’s top diplomat. Officials reviewing the emails as part of the FOIA process reclassified the seven emails because they contained secret information about foreign governments or foreign relations.

Because of redactions, the released emails are often comical in what they reveal. In some cases only the sender and recipients are evident:

  • On July 15, 2009, State Department Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills emailed to an address that has been redacted under the subject heading “Updated on US support of GOH plan.” She addressed the text of the email to Prime Minister Pierre Louis, a reference to then-Haitian Prime Minister Michèle Pierre-Louis. The State Department classified it on June 30 of last year. It will become public information in 2029.
  • On Aug 19, 2011, then-Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille sent an email to Clinton Foundation Chief Operating Officer Laura Graham Chief Operating Officer Laura Graham with the subject heading “Updated.” The State Department classified it on Aug. 25 of this year. It will become public information in 2031.
  • On Aug. 28, 2011, Graham sent an email to Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, with a subject heading of “Confidential.” The State Department classified it on Aug. 25 of this year. It will become public information in 2031.
  • On Feb. 27, 2012, Conille emailed Graham under the subject heading “New Update.” Only a line at the bottom is no redacted: “Thanks for all your help.” The State Department classified it on Aug. 25 of this year. It will become public information in 2032.
  • On April 4, 2012, Mills emailed Graham under the subject heading “Haiti update and opinion.” She wrote, “Good copy. A few thoughts.” Those thoughts were redacted except for No. 7: “You would do a great job and your children will let you know that each day as they grow healthy and strong and grounded.” The State Department classified it on Aug. 26 of this year. It will become public information in 2032.

  • On April 4, 2012, Graham sent an email to Mills reading “Download from GC meetings today.” Most has been redacted, but at the end, she wrote: “Again I always share my opinion as you’ve encouraged and feel comfortable doing do with you so please don’t mistake them for trying to usurp Ken or you or what info your privy to and I’m not. I’m not pretending I know more or better — just sharing to give you my perspective. Xoxo.” The State Department classified it on Aug. 26 of this year. It will become public information in 2032.
  • On the same date, Graham replied to Mills’ original email. The State Department classified it on Aug. 26 of this year. It will become public information in 2032.

The emails released by Citizens United are separate from the emails that Clinton had deleted from the private home-brew server she had installed in the basement of her suburban New York house. FBI Director James Comey recently reopened an investigation into that case after the discovery of new emails on a laptop used by the the disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
