- Former officials, associates, party donors, and family members issue pleas
- Many sought time with Clinton, reaching out through longtime aide Huma Abedin
- 'It would mean a lot to me if you could help or advise on a personnel situation for a dear friend'
A new batch of emails from longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin show efforts to use old connections to get jobs or score face time with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The emails are the latest batch that conservative group Judicial Watch got from a freedom of information lawsuit.
In one email, Clinton library Puerto Rican executive Miguel Lasell seeks a meeting with Clinton, and makes a separate online pitch for a favored candidate to be ambassador to the Domican Republic.
'I will be in DC from the 7th to the 9th and would like if possible to say hello to hillary Please let me know.It would be just a short visit and not to ask anything from her.Just hello,' he writes.

'It's unclear if there was follow through, and if he became an ambassador because the name was redacted,' Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Fox News.
Another email from 2009 released by the State Department reveals Kelly Craighead of the Democracy Alliance and friend of Hillary Capricia Marshall, a former HillPAC director, putting in a good word for a person they describe as a 'loyal supporter.'
Craighead followed up to try to get the booster a job.
'It would mean a lot to me if you could help or advise on a personnel situation for a dear friend,' she wrote.
Abedin, who worked for Clinton in the Senate and State Department and went on to join her presidential campaign, seemed to buy it. 'We love [redacted]' she wrote. 'Looking into this asap.'

In the 2010 email, assistant Monica Hanley wrote Abedin: 'Hi Huma – Tony Rodham called again looking for an update with his greencard issue. Let me know if this is something I should follow up on.'

A March 2010 email from Hanley appears to show an effort to get out of the task.
'Do you want me to tell Mr. Rodham that the State Departmtn doesn't handle Green Card matters or do you want me to tell him something else?' she inquired.
An attached letter to Rodham mentions the person's arrest in Moscow and a denial of extradition to the republican of Georgia, mentioning a complaint against Mikheil Saakashvili, the former president of Georgia.
The emails offered a flashback to 2016, when daily email revelations about Clinton were a staple. In recent weeks, it has been Russia's contacts with the Donald Trump campaign that have been in the spotlight.
'Hillary Clinton is not in government anymore or a candidate for office,' former campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told Fox . 'So none of this is going to succeed in distracting the public from the active FBI investigation into President Trump.'
