Working with the Clinton State Dept Email Dumps in R (Part 1: Graphs)

I put this together after experimenting with `ggplot2` and `ggnetwork` earlier this week. The changes I made added `svgPanZoom` into the mix. Consequently, it has a widget in it, so it was just easier to embed the full R markdown HTML into an `iframe` than to try to extract the content piecemeal into WP.

You can bust the `iframe` via .

      Aye. I’m leaning towards CC or BCC for them now. I have the PDFs and converted them to (cleaned) ASCII. Next post will be working with those and prbly a bit more graphs.
