Excuse being given to dumb Hillary that they would be harder to trace for her own double dealings.
Stupid, drunken Hillary didn't know she was being double, double crossed.
“pre-compromised cell phones”
...
Hmmmmm . . .
or she did know that a pre-compromised cell phone would send all her communications sent on that device (one of many devices) to the agent she knew had compromised the phone . . . without emails or any other traceable comm path to said agent.
As said, not a gov’t device, not traceable, the FBI did not find it, could not therefore discover if there was “malware” on it or to whom the comms were sent.
Ingenious. Not that Hillary thought of it.
The extent of the actual corruption, treason, and depravity have unknowable depths.
Thank the Lord for Trump! And Assange even though even he can’t expose what was on those cell phones which remain missing.
So many cell phones! So many hidden agents to whom Hillary shared State secrets?
The above is logical speculation, a theory, but not a conspiratorial one.
Apply the logic of the Razor. Her granny ineptitude at wanting a familiar phone (one maybe, but not this many!) does not succinctly explain such subterfuge.
THANKS FOR THE CLUE!~
