So State Department Dip Security knew she was in violation. State Info Management (IMO) and Security folks knew she was in violation. NSA probably suspected or soon learned she was in violation, and everyone on her staff or associated with her (to include the White House Communications Detachment) knew as well.

Nobody said anything about her 'work around' until the Benghazi committee uncovered the violation. Oh well, if we can't 'report' the violations, we might as well exploit them.

Among others, I think it might be time to ask the Director NSA some rather pointed questions. Director of Diplomatic Security, please wait outside in the hall with your legal council.

Yes, you are correct. Special Intelligence collection on high-profile foreign targets, diplomats, and others will be the topic of conversation. US Persons caught up in the mix, a potential added bonus.

#2 [W]e began examining options for S [Secretary Clinton] with respect to secure “Blackberry-like” communications … the current state of the art is not too user friendly, has no infrastructure at State and is very expensive…each time we asked the question “What was the solution for POTUS?” we were politely told to shut up and color … NSA opened the door for us to establish requirements and they would try to help…

A 'thumbs down' from NSA likely indicates a 'thumbs down' from POTUS as well. Why limit the listening and monitoring to SCIF traffic? Forcing her into an open system made collection on her considerably more inclusive and less painstaking.

Just a thought. Yes sinister, but still a thought.
