aides who then transmitted information across official systems. She could ordinarily receive secure faxes, but these faxes had to be downloaded off the other secure systems as hard copies and sent to her by someone in her office with access to the SCIF -- or when the secure fax system was not working.

Without her personal willingness to use the keyboard secure systems, she and her DOS staff had to use her unsecure Blackberry/Clintone email system to communicate. The problems with that are obvious, if she was to communicate on classified subjects. Other high officials didn't have this problem because they were willing and able to use the official secure system, and had them installed in SCIFs in their private residences.

I do not understand why she used her Blackberry when at home for DOS calls. There are secure phone systems that can be used anywhere you can plug in a phone jack (Secure Terminal Equipment) (STE)(see below), off of which one can operate secure faxes, video conferencing, as well as a variety of secure cell phones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Terminal_Equipment

Data - The Data STE provides remote access for voice, fax, data and video-conferencing. This model has two serial EIA-530A/EIA-232 BDI ports and allows for data transfers to multiple destinations.

Yet, she insisted on using her Blackberry/Clintonemail.com system for messaging such as the joint CIA/DOS Drone targeting communications. She must have been totally insane.
