Hillary Clinton’s emails have been a thorn in her side throughout her presidential campaign. Her use of a private email server for work emails led to an FBI investigation.

Although she was cleared of any wrongdoing in using her private email to communicate classified information earlier, the scandal has come back to haunt her as the FBI launched a second inquiry last week.

Plus there’s been the Wikileaks revelations, with the anti-secrecy website releasing thousands of hacked emails from the account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign boss.

There’s been much focus on John Podesta saying Clinton had “terrible instincts”, questions over the Clinton foundation and Bill’s role in it, as well as what she said in paid speeches to banks – notably the importance of having a “public and private position”. There’s been criticisms over comments she made about “open borders” too.

All this has been music to Donald Trump’s ears – another chance to pick his rival apart and present her as an untrustworthy choice for President. He has even said he will instigate an investigation into the emails himself if he wins the election.

While Clinton’s emails were in some parts revealing and embarrassing, (plus we learned she is a fan of the phrases “pls respond” and “pls print”) they also showed a very human side to Hillary. The Presidential candidate is often accused of being cold and unfeeling but in the below emails, which have made far fewer headlines, we see Mrs Clinton’s desire to support people who are suffering and raise those up who want to change the world for the better.

These emails are the ones Mr Trump would probably you rather didn’t see.

Helping people

Email subject: Noori Ali

Date: August 2009

Email sent by Mrs Clinton.

Email: Mrs Clinton: “Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?”

I would like to talk w you about your ideas of what I can/should be doing. Could I call in the next few days? What times are the best for you?

Women’s rights

Email subject: Sheryl Sandberg

Comments made by Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, about Mrs Clinton and sent to her office.

Email: Ms Sandberg: “Your personal comments about me were so nice and so appreciated. On the debate on the ‘ambition gap’, you summarized more clearly what I am trying to say than anyone has by far. You are exactly right. I am frustrated by all of the ways women hold themselves back and feel less confident than they should. My point has been to try to empower them to believe they can do it and therefore get the leadership roles they deserve. Thank you for understanding and for being able to say this so clearly.”
