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.

Gutless wonder. He can’t even blame Hillary, but pegs her “people” as the culprits. Pardon me Colin, but wasn’t it Hillary who told the FBI you told her to use a personal email
address for unclassified material. Since it was the witch herself who threw you into the ftay, get a set of balls, and blame her, not the people who are following her orders.

Yeah, but he might wait until the last week in October to announce his endorsement so (he thinks) it will have maximum impact.

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

Is Colin liberal RINO Powell saying that he doesn't know WHY Hillary had a TOP SECRET mail server that wasn't?

It's SIMPLE Colin, she sold the STATE DEPT to the highest bidders and funneled the money into the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation DOES NOT spend the money in Haiti (and other depressed places) it keeps the money for Bill and Hillary.

Hey Colin. Are you still awake? Do you see something wrong with that?

Email was prevalent before the GWB administration. The troubling thing is that I fear private email servers are wide spread in DC. There is no transparency anywhere.

Hillary’s lies keep on coming. She has a compulsion to lie - she is a pathological liar who reminds me of some sociopaths.

Hilda-Beast *NEVER* used anything but her personal server for EVERYTHING. Powell had the common sense to know which was which.

If he told her to use a personal server, it probably was meant for her personal e-mail, not hiding her nefarious deeds from prying eyes.

Surely Colin Powell has heard that if you lie down with
dogs; you get up with fleas.

Now we know Hitler-y’s governing method includes “PASS THE
BUCK”. Her e-mail doo-doo pile is now squarely unloaded in
Powell’s front yard. “His fault!”

Why not Colin, you are one of them. You sold out for far less in the past but taking one for the team and possible criminal activity oh no, I can’t soil my hands even for her majesty the Queen B.

He will still support the battleaxe in the election. The only think Republican about Colin were the Republican presidents he worked for despite their political affiliation.

Colin Powell (D):

"It doesn't bother me. But it's okay; I'm free [and rich]."

It apparently DOES "bother" Powell. It appears he abides in "honor among thieves."

The Colin Powell who is NOT bothered:

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

Sure. It's one more lie by Hillary the Media won't touch. But also the breaking of law and security protocol by fake "squeaky-clean" Colin Powell.

But Colin, Colin -- can't you help a sistah out? You're both phony patriots and liars who are Globalist-Firsters and both Fascist-Democrats who believe the Constitution no longer exists.
