(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) Newly released documents from the FBI’s year-long investigation of Hillary Clinton’s server indicate officials discussed a deal in which the FBI considered declassifying some of the classified emails that were found, if the State Department could agree to boosting the FBI’s presence in Iraq.
FBI notes released Monday show that Patrick Kennedy, State’s undersecretary for management, pressured the FBI to change the classified markings on an email that had been upgraded to “secret.”
One section of the notes indicates that Kennedy wanted a classification change to “B9,” and said that change would allow him to “archive the document in the basement of DOS never to be seen again.”
