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.

I agree this does not help Hillary one bit
She’s really got her tit in the wringer on this one and the state department has been trying to sanitize her And run interference
the FBI will not Put up with it.It could also mean they already have the goods on her
What a waste of time. Obama will pardon her.
Surprising how many folks here trust Loretta Lynch, her DOJ, and its subsidiary the FBI.
Having originated Top Secret documents, I see this as a stupid question. [No one will be surprised that my documents were statistical analyses addressing questions of government interest.]
From the moment I began drafting a document, classification was my responsibility. I classified the document, the titles, the pages, and even the paragraphs based on what I expected to type before I began typing. If I changed my mind on what to put in, I changed the markings and sometimes even the computer system in use before putting it in. I was very cautious and by the book, as are the vast majority of people who generate sensitive material.
If I had misclassified even one document and then handled the resulting classified material as unclassified, I would have been in trouble and permanently lost my clearance and the contract. If "errors" had occurred more than once or maybe twice, I would have been in prison. I knew people who made errors only once, mishandling Crypto, and ended up behind bars for their careless behavior.
No big surprise considering State is fully compromised and incapable of doing much of anything. State’s input will just be a Red Herring.
You are correct. Should have read the whole article and applied proper analysis.
The cover-up will be above James Comey’s head.
The cover up continues.
Just a matter of time: “After an exhaustive investigation conducted by our best FBI personnel who during the course of many months read thousands of emails, and interviewed hundreds of people, it has been found that even though some mistakes were made, there isn’t any evidence of criminal intent or illegal activity on the part of President Hiillary Clinton. Therefore, we are closing this iinvestigation. We will not be taking questions.”
Sounds like the FBI already has what they need and they don’t want the corrupt DOJ to screw it up.
Like anything will ever happen anyway.
The FBI is telling Hillary’s Cover-Up team is Stop. Real interesting...
Obama will give her a pardon for any crimes she might have committed as Secretary of State.
Once again a complete wast of time and taxpayer money.
I don’t see how John Fraud can stand for this.
The likely truth of what she has been doing, the selling of state secrets to our enemies and using an unsecured server as a private EBay for our worst foes, then laundering the money via donations to the Clinton foundation should be her legacy in history. This is how she would be known to the grandchildren of today’s generation. As having committed a worse treason than the Rosenbergs, who were sent to their death at the electric chair for their crimes.
That is correct. Also, consider that State is on the hook for several parts of this case. Kerry is running interference but the FBI already knows who is involved and to what extent. They don’t want State to continually hinder them. State has been neglectful in a few FOIA matters relating to this case. They have hidden the “players” that were State employees and/or contractors. These persons worked for State and the Clinton Foundation and Tenaco and many other entities. Once the IT guy was given immunity, nothing State can do to help with the matter. Hope they all fall but who knows in todays upside down world.
I agree........the wench probably has “friends” at State that could muck up the waters.
Lmao!
