Don't worry about Hillary's emails: NSA has them

For all those in angst over Hillary Clinton's secretary of state email on a private, but reportedly secure, server at her home set up for her husband, a former president: We have just three words. Three letters, actually.

NSA. The National Security Agency. You know -- the eye in the sky, Big Brother watcher, scooper, holder and reader of all emails and phone conversations.

Come on, conspiracy theorists: Stop worrying that Hillary's emails about her daughter's wedding were really covert messages. Somebody was watching all the time.

In fact, some of the people watching also answered, at least in part, to Hillary herself.

She was secretary of state, after all. And the secretary of state is part of the nation's "intelligence community," and that community makes up the board that the NSA apparently answers to.

One more note: Had she been emailing through the State Department's email system, she almost certainly would have been emailing insecurely.

The State Department itself has been the target of several successful hacker attacks over the past decade -- one of the most recent was November 2014, according to Wired Magazine. That's when hacking reportedly forced the State Department to temporarily shut down its email system as a response to concerns that unclassified communications had been breached by Russian hackers.

Want security? Live in a cave like Sen. Lindsey Graham, who claims he has never sent an email.
