Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night addressed reports that she'd exclusively used a private email account to conduct business as secretary of state, adding that she'd asked the State Department to release her emails to the public. Clinton weighed in on the matter for the first time in public via Twitter:

I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.
11:35 PM - 4 Mar 2015
The House Select Committee on Benghazi subpoenaed the State Department earlier Wednesday for all correspondence related to the deadly 2012 attacks in Libya from accounts registered to Clinton's private email server, as well as the personal email accounts of any of her staff members.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement that the agency was complying with Clinton's request, but that the public would have to wait a while before getting the chance to trawl through the former secretary of state's email trove.
"The State Department will review for public release the emails provided by Secretary Clinton to the department, using a normal process that guides such releases," Harf said, as quoted by NBC News. "Given the sheer volume of the document set, this review will take some time to complete."

This isn't going to satisfy anyone who appreciates the word play of diplomats, politicians and lawyers.
Sec Clinton can be as open as a book on this, and people are still going to look for the loophole

The State Department will review for public release the emails provided by Secretary Clinton to the department.
I hope Hillary realizes, deleting emails doesn't make them disappear. They can always be resurrected.
