The original statement said the data went to the State Dept.

Podesta wanted it to be changed to the DoJ, because that was more accurate.

And, it avoided the perception that the statement was misleading.

Why does it make a difference?

Saying it "went to the State Dept." implies it was business as usual. But, saying it "went to the DoJ" implies a criminal investigation.

Thanks.
Do you know what the final statement was? Did they take Podesta’s advise?
