On Thursday the media announced resurfaced emails from Hillary Clinton's personal email account dated February 2009. Until now, the former secretary of state had maintained she was not using the account at that time.

The findings include a Feb. 13, 2009, exchange between Clinton and her chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, in which Mills says to Clinton that the National Security Agency has declined to give her the newest blackberry just because. Clinton sought the device to circumvent normal security protocols for accessing classified information...

Shortly before Clinton was sworn in, the contents from the email account were asked about by state officials , in which hillary declined to hand over. The head of the defense department sought out to find the messages and he was successful in doing so. The Pentagon reportedly obtained them from his accounts before handing them over to State, though the department has refused to release them to the public.

 

 

Question: how does the head of the defense department find all the information to get into her personal email?

maintained: cause or enable (a condition or state of affairs) to continue.

obtained:get, acquire, or secure (something).
