I'm no expert on the Linq to JSON implementation in JSON.Net, but this worked for me.

You're pretty much all the way there. All you need to do is drill down a little further in the object model.

Dim results As List(Of JToken) = o.Children().ToList
For Each item As JProperty In results
    item.CreateReader()
    Select Case item.Name
        Case "CC"
            Dim strCC = item.Value.ToString
        Case "CcFull"
            Dim strEmail As String
            Dim strName As String

            For Each subitem As JObject In item.Values
                strEmail = subitem("Email")
                strName = subitem("Name")
            Next
    End Select
Next

The item that you get from the results list has sub-items, as you noted. That sub item has a series of values - the array denoted by the brackets in your JSON string. That Values method is an IEnumerable so we can iterate over it, receiving a JObject from each iteration. That object represents a single entry in the CcFull array. You can then use the property name as an index to retrieve the value for that property.
