Politics: Hillary Clinton’s new defense of her indefensible use of an unsecured private e-mail server to conduct classified State Department business boils down to blaming Colin Powell.

Blaming him for doing something totally different is not a good defense. Both Clintons think that they are above the law, probably because they’ve never really been held responsible for anything they’ve done.
Has she tried Bush yet ?
She hired IBD editorial writer to wipe the emails but he left the first sentence of every email.
I miss the print edition of IBD, it was nice to get away from being online for awhile and read. Now I don’t read the editorials as often.
The oldest excuse in the book— “Mom, but everybody else does it!!” If only Nixon had thought of that. Blame Kennedy for wire tapping MLK etc etc. The media would have yawned at said “well that makes sense, nothing to see here” NOT
Up till now they have been above th law.
Hillary was selling passwords to her emails for profit. I would call that treason.
When are we going to see the mainstream media do an interview with Colin Powell, and ask him if what Clinton did is is no different than what he did as Secretary of State?
I don't think so. They sort-of danced around the VRWC with their "this is all a political witch-hunt" - but that one died under an avalanche of facts.
They still have a lot of themes to go though: global warming, big oil, big banks, big insurance companies, big pharma, devout Christians (aka bitter clingers), the NRA, middle-aged white guys...
Basically any and every group or demographic the "liberal" left has ever demonized. Clinton's cohorts in crime and spin doctors can (and probably will at some point) try those groups on as the villain here, see if works. They know any of those scapegoats will resonate with the base, they need to find one that gets traction with a solid percentage of the independents. Well, that's simply not going to happen. Clinton is a criminal and she does belong in prison, not the White House.
I know Hillary doesn’t drive any more, but she should try that “He was doing it too” defense next time she gets pulled over for speeding. Works every time....../sarc
Y'know, Powell would probably rise to her defense. He's more a Dem than Clinton at times.
Is the weekend version available?
“Has she tried Bush yet ?”
You’ve heard of Huma, I take it?
If you think she’s getting hammered over the emails wait for the details of the racketeering from the FBI. Her electability is eroding by the day. It’s all down hill from here.
save for later
Wake me up when 3,000 classified emails are found on Colin Powell’s accounts.
Powell’s spokesperson said that Powell never used his email account for sensitive communications, only for office administration and housekeeping. Also, Powell did not keep any of his emails in his personal possession upon leaving the office.
This article states that Condi Rice never used email at all.
> You’ve heard of Huma, I take it?
New keyboard time again.... :-)
“.....her indefensible use of an unsecured private e-mail server to conduct classified State Department business boils down to blaming Colin Powell”...........
