In an interview with the Fox Business channel, David Petraeus said he believes Hillary Clinton is being treated fairly by investigators, contrary to “conspiracy theories” coming from both sides.

This is what the
NSA would have suggested Secretary of State Clinton use as a secure
mobile device in 2009: The General Dynamics Sectéra Edge Windows CE
secure PDA. Pricetag: $4,750 (not including all the server software and
licenses).

When former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pushing to get a
waiver allowing her to use a BlackBerry like President Barack Obama back
in 2009, the National Security Agency had a very short list of devices
approved for classified communications. It was two devices built for the
Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device (SME PED) program.
In fact, those devices were the only thing anyone in government without
an explicit security waiver (like the one the president got, along with
his souped-up BlackBerry 8830) could use until as recently as last year
to get mobile access to top secret encrypted calls and secure e-mail.
Despite $18 million in development contracts for each of the vendors selected to build the competing SME PED phones (or perhaps because of it), the resulting devices were far from user-friendly
