To the list of victims, common folks, and politicians left in the wake of that runaway bus of crime and corruption known as Clinton, add one more -- former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Leaks emerging from the Congressional acquisition of the heavily redacted FBI interview with Hillary Clinton that took place in July, indicate that part of the discussion with Democrat nominee centered on Clinton’s claim that she set up her private email server on the recommendation of Powell.
This account of the origins of the server is in line with the “coincidental” assertions contained in a soon to be released book by longtime Clinton sycophant and nominal journalist Joe Conason, whose previous book The Hunting of Hillary accepts as a fact that indeed a “vast right wing conspiracy” has been pursuing this paragon of political virtue and her husband for decades. According to Conason, Powell advised Hillary to use private email in an off-the-cuff remark during a dinner party for former State Secretaries at the home of Madeline Albright in 2009.
Powell reportedly has no recollection of the comment, but did acknowledge using private email for efficiency’s sake in the darker ages before the use of email was ubiquitous and computers and servers more powerful. (Powell served from 2001-2005.) By the time Hillary took over the State Department had formalized rules regarding private email use for official business, which is to say it was prohibited. Regardless, according to Conason, Hillary had already decided to use private email before Powell’s alleged comment, the dinner party chat only confirming her decision, or more likely tucked away as a useful excuse for wrongdoing should she need it later, as indeed she did.

He may be under the bus, but I’m not sure he really minds. He might consider it a sacrifice for the greater good.
Just another DC elitist...
yup
Awwwwwww. My heart bleeds for the little turncoat.
Colin Powell gets the colon pow? Okay, that was weird even for me.:)
Hellry blames a black guy....that’s racism!
I think this is a small portion of the AA vote increase for Trump. Everyone is not brain dead. Most just don’t care. Even Indies like Powell and are probably disgusted by what Clinton & Co. are doing. First rule of holes has been violated. STOP DIGGING.
Eh. He’ll still endorse her
Colin Powell dallied with the dark side, served its purpose and has been consumed. Not the first and won’t be the last.
Rosa Parks became famous for not going to the BACK of the bus...and Powell is in the headlines today for being thrown UNDER the bus.
Of course he doesn't mind...it's all for the "cause"...even losing one's remaining shred of reputation is secondary to supporting Hillary.
Leni
Yep, Colin Powell endorsing Clinton in 3, 2, 1
Reputational Suicide by Figurative Bus? Here, let me back up, and I’ll run over him again.
Why isn’t he on all the Sunday shows knocking down this story? We know why
He endorsed Obama. I don’t care what he says or thinks about anything.
Powell was just a useful “N word” for the klintoons.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.
Powell is more than deserving of whatever fecal matter can be thrown on him.
Agree. He is under the bus not due to the fact he was targeted and hit, but has a tendency of walking on the freeway, and causing turmoil in speeding, massive traffic. An accident looking for a place to happen.
He’d better, if he wants to maintain his standing in elite DC society.
