protocol. >> nancy, tell us what has the clinton campaign had to say about all this today? >> scott, they say the is well known that state department officials thought that clinton's e-mails were being overclassified and fought the intelligence community on that matter all last year. about this conversation involving undersecretary kennedy, but they point out that even the fbi appears to have
