By the Mother Jones reporting staff.

Today, at 9 a.m. local time in Juneau, the state of Alaska released 24,199 pages of emails Sarah Palin sent and received during her half-term as governor of the Last Frontier. State officials distributed six-box sets to representatives of a dozen or so media outfits, including Mother Jones. Now the mad dash is on, with journalists reviewing (and scanning) these thousands of emails, searching for illuminating or entertaining information regarding the GOP’s number-one political celebrity, who remains a possible 2012 presidential contender. (Shortly after the release, Mother Jones, msnbc.com, and ProPublica posted a searchable archive of the emails online. You can search the Palin emails here. And here as well.) This saga began with a request David Corn, Mother Jones Washington bureau chief, made almost three years ago. (Read about the full history of the Sarah Palin email saga.)

Here are the highlights of what we've found so far (click the links for more):

1. Nothing of any importance will be found

Anything that might be a "smoking" gun, didn't get released, or it was blacked out! Her "minions" in Alaska, the current governor, made sure his hand picked team did not release anything that would make her look bad.

2. The Bank of America email dump promised by Assange (WikiLeaks) last year means infinitely more to me

than puppet emails. It feels like the powers-that-be want to use yet another shiny object to take the heat off of banksters.
