After intelligence officials have flagged parts of emails as classified, State Department employees have instead redacted those same passages under one of nine exemptions permitted under FOIA.
For example, an email set aside as classified by an intelligence expert may be exempted under a "deliberative process" provision that protects agency decision-making.
Some in the intelligence community say officials tasked with screening Hillary Clinton's emails for release are altering classification decisions of information. (Getty Images file)
