Secure faxed - If she had a secure fax, she also had a secure land-line phone terminal. Why didn't she use it? (See below)
Portions are classified - speaks for itself.
Why was she using her private Blackberry/Clintonemail.com system for the drone calls if she could have had a secure phone terminal to run the secure fax we know she had?
We are being told that 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.
However, even without a scif, she could have used a secure land-line phone (STE) to make those calls instead of using her Blackberry/server.
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

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. Something doesn't add up here.
