A senior State Department official allegedly tried to have the FBI change the classification of emails during the Hillary Clinton investigation.
Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz claimed at least one email was the subject of an 'alleged quid pro quo' involving the authorities and Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy, according to Fox News.
'In return for altering the classification, the possibility of additional slots for the FBI at missions overseas was discussed,' Chaffetz said.

The alleged revelation is included in new documents relating to the investigation, Chaffetz claims.
The Utah Congressman told Fox he has not read the documents, and is basing his comments off what he has been told by staff members.
'Both myself and Chairman Devin Nunes of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are infuriated by what we have heard,' he told the news network.



'Left to their own devices the FBI would never have provided these [records] to Congress and waited until the last minute. This is the third batch because [the FBI] didn’t think they were relevant.'
The Congressman then said he would expect there to be 'four hearings' or more in the wake of the alleged incident.
The same allegation has surfaced against Kennedy before, and he has categorically denied it.

The investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails that was completed earlier this year found that she and her staff were 'sloppy' with how some information was handled

This should be automatic termination, public humiliation, jail time and made an example of.

Quid pro quo in my industry results in losing you medical license (just like Ben Carson did), heavy fines, potentially jail time if Medicare, TriCare or other government insurances are involved.

How fking sick are the Dems..total slime balls.

“The News That Top Clinton Aide Patrick Kennedy Tried To Engage In A Blatant Quid Pro Quo For Changing The Classification Level Of Several Of Clinton’s Emails Shows A Cavalier Attitude Towards Protecting Our Nation’s Secrets.” – Jason Miller​

“Today’s release of the FBI notes on their investigation into Clinton’s secret email server is deeply disturbing. The news that top Clinton aide Patrick Kennedy tried to engage in a blatant quid pro quo for changing the classification level of several of Clinton’s emails shows a cavalier attitude towards protecting our nation’s secrets. Kennedy must resign from the State Department immediately and Clinton must state he has no place in her administration if she is elected President.” – Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor

Top Clinton Aide Patrick Kennedy “‘Pressured’ The FBI To Downgrade The Classification Of One Of Hillary Clinton’s Emails As Part Of A ‘Quid Pro Quo’” Last Year. “A top State Department official allegedly ‘pressured’ the FBI to downgrade the classification of one of Hillary Clinton’s emails as part of a ‘quid pro quo,’ according to documents released by the bureau on Monday. … In the interview, the unnamed official says that Patrick Kennedy, undersecretary of state for management, tried in late June or early July of last year to get the FBI to change a classified email to unclassified, in exchange for the State Department allowing the FBI to place agents in more countries.” (Nolan D. McCaskill, “State Dept. Official Accused Of Offering 'Quid Pro Quo' In Clinton Email Scandal,” Politico, 10/17/16)
