No it is NOT false. If you had paid attention during the Hillary server investigation, You would know that....there were several things the state dept felt should be declassified, and the department, with the Director of the department, was the only person who could declassify the documents ahead of their scheduled time...the secretaries of the department or the Director of the Agency could classify or declassify, what they felt appropriate, at any time, if THEY were the department or agency who did the initial classified marking.
Utter bullshit.
