The watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department Thursday seeking paperwork on Hillary Clinton’s request to use an iPad or iPhone for official government business while serving as secretary of state.
Judicial Watch says it filed the lawsuit after the State Department failed to adequately respond to a March 10 request made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for “any and all records of requests by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton or her staff to the State Department Office Security Technology seeking approval for the use of an iPad or iPhone for official government business.”
The Associated Press reported in March that Clinton had used an iPad to email members of her State Department staff. Clinton had earlier said that she used a secret email account so she could conduct work on one electronic device instead of several. April 30, 2015 4:20 pm

The left and the likes of Clinton keep harping on about changing the criminal justice system and yet Clinton has not been charged with anything .
Maybe they are right, maybe it does need to change so people like her , Holder etc are charged because right now under this DOJ she will never be investigated by them let alone charged.
The USA is fast becoming a banana republic with nukes. The law is just a weapon the establishment uses against political enemies. It doesn’t apply to the big shots.
Justice cannot happen soon enough or harshly enough for the Witch of Chappaqua and her flying monkeys.
Never happen under this administration and if the republicans got power and went after her the media will say this is a witch hunt and ten many RINO’s will back off.
There is no law for them and a law for the likes of us. It’s B/S and the left surely knows that if this was a republican they would be screaming for justice.
Remember---at her UN presser---to cover her tracks ---Clinton asserted she chose a personal account over a government one out of convenience, describing it as a way to carry a single device, rather than one for work e-mails and another for personal messages." Looking back, it would have been probably, you know, smarter to have used two devices," Clinton said. Her office that day released a statement saying she "wanted the simplicity of using one device."
JUDICIAL WATCH REPORTED---On at least half a dozen occasions Clinton’s top aides asked the State Department’s Office of Security Technology to approve the use of an iPad and iPhone, according to JW’s inside source. Each time the request was rejected for security reasons, the source confirms.
The only mobile device that meets the agency’s security standards is the BlackBerry, JW’s source said, adding that the Office of Security Technology—Bureau of Diplomatic Security’s Directorate of Countermeasures must approve all equipment such as cameras, phones and communication devices for all officials.
Evidently set on using the popular Apple devices, Clinton repeatedly challenged the ban and asked management in the Office of Security Technology to allow their use. The executive secretariat responsible for all communications and information technology always rejected the requests, JW’s source affirms.
“From day one Hillary was trying to get the iPhone and the iPad approved,” the State Department official told JW. “She kept trying and trying to get us to approve the iPhone and the iPad, but we wouldn’t do it. Technology security experts tested the iPhone and the iPad several times because she constantly wanted them approved, but it never happened.”
The longtime State Department employee reveals that it’s common knowledge among government security tech experts that Apple devices don’t meet strict security standards so agency insiders were puzzled that the Secretary of State was hell-bent on using them. “There was a lot of head-scratching,” JW’s source revealed. Every State Department employee goes through a rigorous security training that includes strict warnings about using non approved equipment or personal email like Clinton did throughout her tenure as the president’s chief foreign affairs officer, the agency insider said.
Clinton’s persistent efforts to persuade the State Department’s technology security experts to approve the use of her favorite Apple devices led those in the division to conclude that she did in fact go through with it.
==============================================
Cong Jason Chaffetz, Trey Gowdy and Sen Grassley need to start w/ the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB)---theagency which funds the offices of ex-presidents:
<><> get the documents which list Sen and Secy Hillary's govt-issue electronic devices.....and whether they were returned;
<><> the entire range of tax-paid outlays to finance ex-pres Clinton....including electronics at his Harlem presidential office, his home in Chappaqua, hand-held devices in his possession....and ISP bills and records.
I am impressed that someone stood up to her and told her no. Impressed. Surprised. Shocked.
