The email at the heart of a "quid pro quo" controversy involving a senior State Department executive and the FBI contained intelligence about suspects in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, two government sources told Fox News.
Heavily redacted FBI interview summaries, known as 302s, state that Patrick Kennedy, a top lieutenant to Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state, wanted to deep-six the email – which was one of two on her personal server that kick-started the FBI investigation into the mishandling of classified information on her unsecured system.
The Nov. 18, 2012 email sent to then-Secretary Clinton by aide Jake Sullivan contains the subject line "Fw:FYI - Report of arrests -- possible Benghazi connection."
It contains “B1” redactions for classified information and “B1.4D” redactions for "Foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources" -- as well as “B7” redactions covering "law enforcement" activities.
The FBI files say Kennedy offered a “quid pro quo” – allowing the FBI more agents in countries where they’re forbidden, in exchange for changing the email’s “SECRET” classification. According to the documents, Kennedy wanted the record declassified and marked with a code that would shield it from public scrutiny.
The State Department confirmed Kennedy was discussing the Benghazi email in question. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Republican lawmakers believe Kennedy was going to the mat over the Benghazi email in an effort to kill the FBI investigation.
"It demands deep investigation. It's going to take months to try to untangle this. But when you have the FBI themselves say that there was a quid pro quo negotiation that was going on to manipulate the classification of documents, that goes to the highest degree," House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said this week.

Text of FOIA Exemption 9 from
Freedom of Information Act Guide, May 2004
Exemption 9
Exemption 9 of the FOIA covers “geological and geophysical information and data, including maps, concerning wells.” (1) This exemption has very rarely been invoked or interpreted, (2) and its boundaries remain substantially undefined to this day. As no court has examined Exemption 9 in any depth, it is still not clear exactly what types of geological or geophysical information are protected from disclosure under the exemption, or whether it was intended to apply to all types of “wells.”
One court held twenty years ago that Exemption 9 applies only to “well information of a technical or scientific nature,” and not to general mineral exploration data — such as the location, depth, or number of exploration drill holes. (3) It is significant that this court pointed to the legislative history of the FOIA — specifically, to evidence that Congress intended through Exemption 9 to protect the oil and gas exploration and extraction industry from unfair competitive harm by “speculators” — in support of its decision to order the release of generalized well data where a competitive harm argument could not readily be supported.

Hearings, huff and puff, then it's gone.
Yes it does... we are quickly going to get to the stage where even the most mindless low information voter is going to realize that to vote for anybody other than Hillary is a vote to put her in jail.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
My one note about the debate last night was a missed Trump moment: when Hillary bragged about being in the situation room for the killing of Osama Bin Laden, he should have responded “But you weren’t in the situation room during the Benghazi attacks. Why was that...where were you?”
He went on to say "When's the election again? Three weeks? Hmmm. In that case let me amend the timeline, it's going to take four weeks to untangle this and get our report out."
they are all running scared, Trump is right..drain the swamp
They are all playing the same tune. I read or heard the other day that Marco “foam party” Rubio was talking down the Wikileaks, saying they were inappropriately obtained and should not be used in the campaign, blah blah...

I keep hearing and reading that Rubio would have massacred Hitlery. Hitlery’s thugs would have found many skeletons in Rubios “closet” if you know what I mean?
They are all just in it to protect themselves and their little club in DC.
But by all means, folks! Let's keep voting these "R"'s in!
Heck, he'd have to buy every available time slot until the election...
That would have been great. It brings to mind the allegedly clever JFK, who seemed to be able to come up with fabulous quips at debates or news conferences. We marveled at how quick he was on his feet.
But many years after JFK's death, it came out that the worshipful media of the day had secretly given him questions beforehand. And then of course he had "Dr. Feelgood" giving him injections of amphetamines too.
I have to wonder if Trump had indulged in a little sip of coffee, he might have made quicker mental connections. But he says he does not drink coffee.
Sorry ... I will never let them quit or stop
