The Obama-Clinton banana republic

The cozy relationship between Mrs. Clinton’s staff and career diplomats at the State Department are equally swampy.

The FBI’s documents expose there was a “shadow government” at the State Department that tried to protect Mrs. Clinton throughout the email probe.

“There was a powerful group of very high-ranking State officials that some referred to as ‘The 7th Floor Group’ or ‘The Shadow Government.’ This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records, and everything Clinton-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries,” the FBI’s interview summary said.

This is in addition to revelations that Patrick Kennedy, undersecretary of State, asked an FBI agent’s assistance in altering one of Mrs. Clinton’s email’s classification in exchange for a “quid pro quo.” If the agent down-classified the email, then Mr. Kennedy would grant the FBI the overseas outposts it requested.
The agent, Brian McCauley, who has since retired from the FBI, told The Washington Post he turned down the request when he learned that the email Mr. Kennedy was trying to reclassify had to do with Benghazi.

Unbelievable. A banana republic I tell you.
