Hillary Clinton Wouldn't Take an Official BlackBerry: State Department
2015-03-13
[Newsmax] Piling on more embarrassment for Hillary Clinton amid a row about her emails, U.S. officials revealed Thursday that during her time as secretary of state she had declined a government-issued cellphone.

Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Clinton was 'not issued a State Department BlackBerry, and that wasn't a requirement -- no one is required to be issued a State Department BlackBerry.'

#6  eh... That's pretty much what she did rjschwarz...

my guess is that she also sent sensitive government information in cleartext as well. It isn't just her email server folks... It's all the hops the email passes through as well. Plain email is not secure and never has been.

May as well as use gmail!

#5  State has been so inept lately I'm not sure publishing all her emails on an open forum live as she went could have done much more damage.

#3  Not issued a State Dept. official cellphone or Blackberry? Hillary not a man of the people? Wouldn't take a device as plebeian as this?

Makes one wonder all the more what she is trying to bury as she wends her way towards the Presidency. Sure wish she had wanted a pony when she was a kid instead of the Presidency.

#2  Completely understandable, other communication venues were readily available to the Secretary.

#1  Hmmm,

You think maybe DOS is a vast colander of leaks waiting to happen?

No requirement to use an "Official" cell phone to conduct Official business? Reading official email on an unsecured device? Having sensitive discussions of national security on an unsecured cellphone??

I think I am getting a nose bleed.

OBTW,

I was wondering what the current exchange rate is

How many Pinocchio's equal a Psaki?

Or is it the other way around?

Or how many Harf does it take to equal one Psaki?
