WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says it can find only four emails sent between former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and her staff concerning drone strikes and certain U.S. surveillance programs, and those notes have little to do with either subject.

She asks for a phone call in one, a phone number in another. She seeks advice on .. information leaks, and accidentally replies .. about decorations.

The messages also reveal Clinton used an iPad to email while secretary of state ..

The four emails were obtained by The Associated Press under a 2013 Freedom of Information Act request ..

Could this be the end of Rico? Uhh Rodham..

The end of the Queen of Cankles? Surely you jest! Queen of Cankles, sounds like a villain from the old Batman TV show and she's just as over the top.

Unless other forces in the Democratic Party compel them to turn on her and we all know there are a good many people over in that party who would love to deny Hillary and Billy another four to eight years in the White House.

I thought I remember reading here on FR that government employees, members of congress and the executive branch are immune to RICO. If an official does something, his/her staff or associates cannot be convicted as a whole for racketeering (as you would a whole gang).

Some legal expert here will know better than I, or can explain why this is or how it could be navigated around, but I would bet it’s probably a pretty solid immunity or no one would work for these crooked politicians.

The MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN THIS REVELATION is that Hillary used an I-Pad to email....a device she has not disclosed....and was not authorized by State Dept security

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.

===========================================

EVEN BEFORE THE UN PRESSER---Fox has Hillary on video wherein Hillary tells an earlier tech conference in California: “I have, you know, an iPad, a mini iPad, an iPhone and a Blackberry”.....

==============================================

Cong Jason Chaffetz, Trey Gowdy and Sen Grassley need to start w/ the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB):

<><> 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 office, his home in Chappaqua, and hand-held devices in his possession.
