Gossip within th State Department and nothing more.

...The FBI is denying (click here) that any "quid pro quo" was offered in the fight between the bureau and State Department over the classification level of the email, though one interview described it as such.
"Not only is there no proof. It's absolutely not true, a completely false allegation. It just didn't happen that way," John Kirby, State Department spokesman told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" Tuesday. "There was no bargain sought by the FBI. There was no bargain rendered. This was simply an inner agency conversation about the classification over one particular email. So there was no wrongdoing here."
At issue are somewhat contradictory interview notes contained in the crop of newly released FBI documents. In one, an FBI official recounted hearing second-hand that the State Department had offered a "quid pro quo" in exchange for declassifying an email. In another, a different FBI official said he told State Department he'd look into the email, if State Department looked into his request for personnel in Iraq....

Who was that person working for the Solicitor General of the State Department? At one point it was known there was politics infused into the State Department by an employee of the Solicitor General of the State Department? That is who is gossiping with a purpose.
