So she wanted the NSA to stonewall because that would give her the excuse she needed to set up a private email server? And the rest of the administration played along? The simpler explanation is that Clinton got really annoyed with the NSA for denying her requests so she disregarded the rules and did her own thing.

Who knows what she would have done if she weren't stonewalled. Your explanation is no "simpler", you're just completely disregarding the facts. People didn't just play along, she got a lot of pushback, especially for someone in such a senior position. In 2011, she was offered a FOIAble BlackBerry. Her team said it didn't make sense. The simple explanation is that she didn't want a FOIAble BB. https://www.scribd.com/doc/295909737/Stephen-Mull-Emails-to-Cheryl-Mills#fullscreen https://www.scribd.com/doc/295909737/Stephen-Mull-Emails-to-...
