An unnamed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent warned about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s tendencies to avoid and flout security and diplomatic protocol, CNBC news reported on Monday. The FBI former agent, who worked on Clinton’s security detail while she was the secretary of state, noted that the Democratic nominee “frequently and bluntly disregarded them [the protocols],” according to the newly released FBI documents.
Moreover, the documents disclosed the information which claims that State Department official, Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy, “pressured” the bureau to downgrade the classification status of Clinton’s emails before they were sent for the official release. According to the evidence, Kennedy repeatedly tried to ask for assistance to alter the classified emails into unclassified in exchange for the State Department’s allowance of more FBI agents abroad.
Despite those efforts, around 100 email retrieved from Clinton’s computer were regarded as classified even though the former secretary of state claimed she never knowingly dealt with and distributed those emails.
