I have copied the excerpt below which demonstrates deep and early precedent. After reading yesterday's Wall Street journal editorial suggesting that there is a criminal relationship to the email issue I thought this example might be useful. It's time that you begin putting together a few highly respected intelligence service professionals that will push out a few talking points that will help level the playing field. Maybe Tom Donillon might have some ideas. Very best Scott =E2=80=9CAs CIA director, Turner took home draft National Intelligence Esti= mates on weekends and marked them up with red pencil. The estimates are the highest product of =E2=80=9Cfinished=E2=80=9D intelligence that the CIA provides to= decision makers in government, reflecting the results of espionage as well as analysis, and they are usually created and polished by dozens of officials before being disseminated.
