Long-time non-political Senior State Department official: Hey, guys, you're classifying this sentence in this email as "secret" because it mentions something the FBI is investigating vis-a-vis Clinton's email - shouldn't that be redacted instead?
FBI: Hey I'm glad you called. I dunno - let me check into it. By the way, we need two more agents in Bagdad - could State help move that along?
FBI (later): Never mind - with all this crazy Benghazi stuff going on in the House, there's no way we can change anything, okay?
L-T N-P S S D O: Fine. We'll do it your way and release it with redactions marked "secret" instead of "related to ongoing investigations". Geez!
