Hillary Clinton requested a secure smartphone in 2009 during the early days of tenure as Secretary of State but the National Security Agency (NSA) rejected the request, according to emails released this week.
The emails, released after a legal battle between conservative group Judicial Watch and the State Department, show that Clinton began using her private email address on her Blackberry a month after to communicate with top aides.
The newly-released emails suggest that providing Clinton with a secure device ranked high among the early priorities of her top aides. Clinton preferred checking messages on a personal device rather than using a desktop or laptop computer, according to the emails. The NSA said providing a secure device would be too costly.
“We were politely told to shut up and color,” said Donald R. Reid, the State Department’s assistant director for security infrastructure, in one of the emails.
This whole thing is a witch hunt against her all along!
We've known that for a while. The fact that Jeb Bush had his own private email server and many other secretaries of state did the same thing is proof enough of this.
Because four Americans died in Benghazi, so she may as well have killed them herself. But, let's ignore all the deaths that happened because of George Bush.

She didn't. People claim she ignored requests for more security at the facility, but in reality those requests were denied by lower-level officials and never reached Hillary at all.

Are there any emails that can back this up? Just wondering.
I do believe in her innocence.
