Please see below guidance regarding two recent reports from Bloomberg and
the Washington Post.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

*Friends & Allies Talking Points *
*Guidance on Bloomberg Report that FBI Has Restored Clinton's Personal
Emails *
*September 24, 2015*

Assuming the Bloomberg report is true, the reason the FBI may be able to
recreate these emails is exactly because, as the tech company that
maintained Hillary's server has said, the rumors that steps were taken to
"wipe" the server's contents were never true.

Even if FBI can indeed recreate her personal emails as Bloomberg reports,
they are unlikely to be released publicly as they are not work-related.
Remember, the Justice Department just said in court two weeks ago that they
did not have a basis to seek access to her personal emails, since the
regulations required that it be Hillary Clinton who separated her work
emails and personal emails -- and she had no obligation to keep her
personal ones.

Hillary Clinton turned over her work-related emails. She directed her legal
team to sort through her emails and provide any that might potentially be
work-related; and, the State Department has already stated that more than
1200 emails based on their review were personal and would be returned to
her as they need not have been given in the first place.

We believe the Justice Department should be allowed to conduct its
independent, security-related review process without interference. Chuck
Grassley, who is attempting to compete with Trey Gowdy in making partisan
attacks on Hillary's emails, should stop trying to interject himself into
the process to score points.

*GUIDANCE ON WASHINGTON POST STORY ON HOW STATE DEPT REQUESTED CLINTON'S
EMAILS*

Nothing in this story contradicts what Hillary Clinton has said. The Post
is reporting on a verbal notification that the State Department made last
year to Clinton's personal attorney, indicating that it might be requesting
a copy of Hillary Clinton's emails from her time as Secretary. As Clinton
has explained, the State Department later formalized that request in
writing via a letter to all former Secretaries of State, asking them to
provide any work-related correspondence they still had in their possession.
Clinton complied with that request in full; indeed, she was the only
Secretary of State to provide any emails.
