on July 11, Rep. Elijah Cummngs sent ltr to FBI Dir Comey asking for details about the 110 emails

described as containing classified information.

Rep Cummings asked for information from Dir Comey on how many individuals in DoS received these emails. He also asked Dir Comey if the DoS agreed with "the owning agency" that these emails contained classified information. (Dir Comey said emails that looked like they contained classified info were sent to the "owning agencies" to determine whether there was classified information in the emails). ...(note the State Dept has already issued a statement - before Cummings wrote this letter - that they DID NOT agree that the emails received by Clinton (assuming the reader already knows not one of the emails purported to contain classified information was initiated by Clinton) contained classified information. I think Rep Cummings want's Comey to admit, in writing, that he was aware of this disagreement even when he said - unequivocally - that the emails contained classified information.

Rep Cummings letter is here: http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/documents/EEC%20to%20FBI%20Director%20Comey%2007-11-16.pdf

to date Dir Comey has not responded to this letter, and not answered Rep Cummings questions.
