Colin Powell Says Hillary Clinton's 'People Have Been Trying to Pin' Email Scandal on Him
People Magazine ^ | 08/21/2016 | Sara Nathan and Jeff Nelson

Hillary Clinton's email scandal continues.

On Friday, the New York Times reported that Clinton told FBI officials former Secretary of State Colin Powell had advised her to use a personal email account while she held the Secretary of State office herself.

"Her people have been trying to pin it on me," Powell, 79, told PEOPLE...

"The truth is, she was using [the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did," Powell added.

Why does the former diplomat believe this to be the case?

"Why do you think?" he said. "It doesn't bother me. But it's okay; I'm free."

The email scandal has dogged presidential hopeful Clinton for more than a year. But federal officials decided not to pursue criminal charges after a three-and-a-half-hour interview, which was when the Democratic nominee disclosed her alleged conversation with Powell.

You ain’t seen nothing, Colin.

Wait until the bodies start surfacing.

You better be able to prove your location for every second for the past forty years.

Colon willingly laid down with the dogs. He shouldn’t act shocked at what that has yielded him.

Yes. Powell has a history of low threshold in his presidential choices.

BIG matter. He is one vote. His story will reach many.

We have to stop worrying about how one person will vote or how much one person should be in jail.

I just want to WIN!!!

Dont care what happens to hill, bill, colin, jeb, ted, obummer, holder, jarrett after Trump wins...just want Trump to win.

That’s ALL that matters.

SO what is she doing, going to try and blame everyone until it appears the person being blamed is willing to take the fall? She’s sick!

If you note, in the next to the last paragraph, he essentially says that he’s willing to be used.
