Cheryl Mills' duties
From wikipedia
Mills served as the Counselor and Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton beginning in January 2009.[18] In her capacity as Counselor, she was a principal officer who served the Secretary as a special advisor on major foreign policy challenges.[5] As Chief of Staff, Mills managed the Department's staff, providing support to the Secretary in administering operations of the Department. At some point during her employment in the Department Mills was also paid for unknown services by the Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative. As former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart said, “I think Secretary Clinton wants to know you’re a team player, but she wants to hear it straight and she gets exactly that from Cheryl.”[19]
Mills oversaw the Department’s interagency global hunger and food security initiative (Feed the Future) and diplomacy and development efforts in Haiti working closely with USAID and others across the government.[20] She served as the United States' representative on the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC). In January 2011, Mills joined Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, the Inter-American Development Bank, Sae-A and the IHRC to announce the construction of an industrial park in Northern Haiti. Its first tenant will create 20,000 jobs alone.[21] She has said, "I feel a special connection to Haiti and the Haitian people. The power of Haitian heritage and the strength of the Haitian people is tremendous. And, Haiti holds a unique and rich role in the history of African Americans."[22] Shortly after taking office Secretary Clinton asked Mills to lead an interagency consultation of current agriculture and food security efforts. The subsequent strategy became (Feed the Future). The Obama administration pledged $3.5 billion over three years to boost agricultural productivity. Describing the importance of food security Mills said, "We are always worried whenever people can't feed themselves. And particularly worried when that actually might translate to destabilization of a country. It is one of the reasons why this program is such an important one."[23]

NOWHERE does it say that Mills was the personal legal counsel to the Secretary of State. She was a counselor for foreign policy Ergo: no attorney client privilege.
Now, granted, way back when Mills' was on the defense team in Bill Clinton's impeachment. But that has nothing to do with this.

Mills has been Clinton's family attorney since the 90s.
Mills, a longtime aide and attorney to the Clintons who as deputy White House counsel helped defend President Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial, worked alongside Hillary Clinton’s lead lawyer, David Kendall of Williams & Connolly, to oversee the process of selecting which emails should be saved from a home personal server Clinton used during her State Department tenure. After the Clinton team finished scouring the messages, they had the server wiped clean, deleting the rest of the contents.
