    Trump's Corruption At Highest Levels Denied By All Involved

    Donald Trump grabbed on to a heavily redacted document that has been released by the FBI which seemed to indicate that an official in the State Department tried to get a specific email's classification changed and offered to expand the number of countries the FBI could place agents in as a quid pro quo. For Trump, this is the smoking gun that indicates corruption "at the highest levels" and feeds in to his latest theme that this election is "rigged". Unfortunately for Trump and his supporters, both the FBI and the State Department deny any quid pro quo. In fact, it was the FBI agent who raised the issue about expanding the number of countries that FBI agents could be placed. Additionally, the classification of the email in question was not changed and there was no expansion of countries for the FBI. So, as a result of this conversation, absolutely nothing changed. There I also no indication that Hillary Clinton was involved in any way with this email classification dispute. But you can bet Trump will run with this for the next few days.
