Clinton’s Colin Powell Excuse
Wall Street Journal ^ | Sept. 1, 2016 | WSJ Opinion

Posted on 09/01/2016 2:02:26 PM PDT by Innovative

As new emails emerge, Hillary’s defense is that the general made her do it.

When Bill and Hillary Clinton get caught for bad behavior, they follow a familiar pattern. First deny, then call it old news, then roll out the attack machine of media and political allies to trash whoever needs to be collateral damage to save them. The private email-Clinton Foundation saga is now in phase three, and no less than Colin Powell has been drafted as roadkill.

The Powell-made-Hillary-do-it defense emerged late last week in two parts. The New York Times reported that FBI interview notes turned over to Congress last week show that Mrs. Clinton told the G-men that Mr. Powell had advised her to use a personal email account. The Times didn’t name its source, but in these cases always ask who benefits from the leak? Answer: Mrs. Clinton.

If Colin told her to rob a bank or shoot someone in the head (i.e., perform illegal acts), would she do those things too? You knowingly broke the law, Hildabeast (and you are a lawyer surrounded by lawyers who advise you).

He figured if it was good enough for Michael Jackson, it’s good enough for him.

She’s blaming the black man.

She is a racist.

When HiLIARy came out with this nonsense , I pulled together these four frames from my in-process analysis/exposé of her mis/dis-use of both the secure and unclassified systems in the Dept. of State.

Production of the Powell frames was triggered by Cummings' dumb@$$3d remark during the Comey hearings that HRC's BB and Powell's laptop use were "the same thing".

I'm no particular fan of Powell, but the facts are that there was no government e-mail system available to Powell's State department -- so he used his laptop and AOL. The effectiveness of his communications allowed him to champion the installation of government e-mail systems -- which Hillary had available but, refused to use.

HilLIARy strikes again!

Powell is a wuss for letting her get away with it. The way to take her to task is to endorse Trump.

Maybe he’s even willingly being her whipping boy.

He’s a traitor, no endorsement wanted.

“...whipping boy.” I see what you did there! Speaking of which, there may be a realignment on the totem pole. Looks like Angry Bert Convy might be taking Seamus’s spot as the gang AA.

Who’s “Angry Bert Convy”? I’ll keep that under wraps for now.

RE Powell:
If it helps defeat the Witch, any ally necessary. I know he supported Jughead, but that’s understandable; skin color trumps all for some folks.

RE “Who’s Angry Bert Convy”
That’s GOPSter’s new Alter Ego... after Khent broke rhis heart... LOL!!!!
