A senior State Department official sought to shield Hillary Clinton last year by pressuring the FBI to drop its insistence that an email on the private server she used while secretary of state contained classified information, according to records of interviews with FBI officials released on Monday.
The accusation against Patrick Kennedy, the State Department's most senior manager, appears in the latest release of interview summaries from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's year-long investigation into Clinton's sending and receiving classified government secrets via her unauthorized server.
Although the FBI decided against declassifying the email's contents, the claim of interference added fuel to Republicans' belief that officials in President Barack Obama's administration have sought to protect Clinton, a Democrat, from criminal liability as she seeks to succeed Obama in the Nov. 8 election.

Cartwright’s sentencing hearing is set for January 17, 2017.”
Trump should announce that someone in the Obama administration has provided secret information that if Hillary loses Obama will pardon the entire state department and FBI.

All independent voter women care about is their snowflakes might thing they’re fat because Trump used the word once
Interesting thought.
The agencies need to step up and do the right thing. The Leftwing momentum is getting problematic.
Only the originating agency can declassify the material they put out.... They must have asked the FBI to replace data about her mishandling of classified with their “recently declassified” versions and act as if it had never been classified.
