Fight tech tyranny. Join Dan on Rumble.

Former Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security Eric Boswell testified under oath that he warned Hillary Clinton twice against using personal emails and unsecure Blackberry devices to send classified material, according to Judicial Watch.

In a transcript of his deposition released yesterday, Boswell said:

    • Hillary Clinton and other Senior State Department officials were warned in 2009 that “any unclassified Blackberry is highly vulnerable in any setting to remotely and covertly monitoring conversations, retrieving emails and exploiting calendars.”
    • Clinton was warned again in 2011 that “We also urge Department users to minimize the use of personal web email for business, as some compromised home systems have been reconfigured by these actors to automatically forward copies of all composed emails to an undisclosed recipient.”
    • Clinton assured him that she “gets it” when he informed her about dangers of Blackberries.
    • Clinton and her staff were “wedded to their blackberries” and wanted to continue using them in secure areas even after warning because it was a “convenience issue” to them.
    • He and other former State Department employees “were surprised” to learn that Clinton used clintonemail.com to conduct official government business.  Boswell claimed that they were not aware of such activity while still employed by the government.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said “Thanks to our court-ordered discovery, we now have confirmation that Hillary Clinton was warned by the top security official in the State Department that unsecure Blackberry and email use was a security risk, yet Hillary Clinton ignored these warnings.”
