Newly-released records about the Hillary Clinton email investigation shed new light on an early dispute between the FBI and the State Department over the classification of an email discussing the aftermath of the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The 299 pages of internal FBI records, apparently released over the weekend on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act page, describe the bureau's reaction to State's protest of an FBI decision to classify a November 2012 State email discussing arrests in the Benghazi attacks.
The email was the first from Clinton's private account and server to be publicly identified as "SECRET," fueling arguments that Clinton and State had been careless in handling sensitive information.

The sailor now faces a maximum possible sentence of up to ten years in prison, but faced up to 30 years if found guilty on both charges. Federal guidelines discussed in court Friday appear to call for a sentence of about five to six-and-a-half years, although the defense has signaled it will seek a lighter sentence.[/right]

Careless?
Um, I can think of other adjectives that don't stretch reality to the very edge of its limits.
