*TOP LINE EMAIL POINTS*

• The facts are still the same. As we’ve always said, nothing Secretary
Clinton sent or received was marked classified at the time. Secretary
Clinton was allowed to use her personal email account and, like all Cabinet
secretaries, it was up to her to decide which messages are work-related and
which messages were personal.

• Since Secretary Clinton turned 55,000 pages of her work email over to the
State Department and asked they be made public, the government’s review has
been marred by bureaucratic infighting that has regularly spilled into
public view.

• Today, that infighting reached a new peak as some of the loudest—and most
leak-prone—participants in this interagency dispute prevailed in completely
blocking the release of some emails.

• This flies in the face of the fact that these emails were completely
unmarked at the time they were sent. In fact, they have been called
'innocuous' by intelligence officials who have reviewed them. Secretary
Clinton has asked that these emails, like the rest of her emails, be made
public consistent with State Department policies.

• It’s no coincidence that in the days leading up to today’s announcement,
sources have been leaking intentionally misleading information to
conservative outlets like Fox News in a transparent attempt to damage
Secretary Clinton politically in the days before the Iowa caucus.
