The State Department said Friday that the FBI has asked the department to halt its internal investigation into emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton while she led the department, emails that are now deemed to contain "top secret" information.
State had been reviewing whether the information was deemed top secret at the time it was sent, or whether the information only became top secret later. But State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau said the FBI asked the department to stop so as not to interfere with the FBI's own investigation.
She said State asked the FBI for a ruling in February on whether it should proceed, and that the FBI told State to stand down on its review sometime in March.
"We contacted the FBI to solicit a judgement from them as to the best path forward," Trudeau told reporters when asked about the review of the 22 emails that included "top secret" information. She didn't clarify if the decision affected hundreds of other emails that included classified information.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The cover-up begins.
Actuyally, I was thinking this meant the opposite (not that the witch will ever be prosecuted).
The FBI has its marching orders: “Nothing to see here. Move along.”
Cover up? Sounds to me like the FBI is telling the state dept to butt out so they can do their job.
Headline - story agreement would be very helpful here. There is a yawning difference between “ordered” and “asked.”
No, the FBI will now take over review of the materials.
Clinton was the original sender of 104 of the emails which are now categorized as secret. It is her responsibility to treat this information as secret, since obviously an email she originates will not be ‘marked’, ‘classified’, or whatever by anyone else. She’s handling secret info - she’s in charge of handling it properly.
No, the FBI has had control near to 11 months,the FBI just told State to STFU and not hat/tip those bout to testify
It was a shot across Hillary’s bow w/o usin her name
That what it looks like to me.
Not so sure about that. It appears the FBI may be getting a bit frustrated with what it sees as obstructionism by the DOS. Hard to read the tea leaves though..
No...actually I think the FBI is trying to prevent a cover-up.
No confidence in the F.B.I.
Too many times they have been little more than this or that presidents mafia.
Yep,
You got that right Ray.
Do you believe that?
Good. No telling how much they’ve already hidden or deleted.
#6 exactly. The F B I. Said stop the paper shreaders and hard drive scrubbing or visit club fed.
I hope!
I want to be Hillary’s pen pal when she’s in prison.
“Dear Hillary;
How are you? I am fine.
Have you made any good friends in the slammer?
How is the food? I hear there is no beef in the beef stew because they are using the cattle you bought.
Be sure to tell the Lifers that they can’t look at you when you are walking down the hall. They enjoy being talked down to by a dirty little snot like you.
Love and kisses!
