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.

Of course, what else?
Powell has been whoring himself for progressives and statists for the last 15 years. So now he’s being used by them - anyone surprised??
It was a wink-wink with Mr. Belafonte.
He did turn tail if I remember correctly. So tossing the black guy under the bus is what is to be expected from the demoncrats. And the AA’s will still turn out for hildabama. Like DJT said, what the hell do you have to lose? A truckload of continuous empty promises? For 50+ years now since CRA was passed.
“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.) “
Email was ubiquitous in 2001. What kind of dope is the writer smoking?
“He may be under the bus, but I’m not sure he really minds. He might consider it a sacrifice for the greater good.”
But he’s under the back of the bus!
Given that Colin was not sanguine over the Bush/Cheney/neocon excellent adventure into the middle east, you would think he would support Trump.
I have no doubt.
I think some people might misjudge Powell...while he was S of S, he was pretty honest...he gave Pres. Bush the best answers he could...
I have followed a lot of Powell’s history and it wouldn’t surprise me to see the MSM and Clinton camp try to destroy his reputation...this is a man at one time was being asked to run for Pres. and it seems he would have been a whole lot better African American Pres. than the one we have...
Hold off on what the MSM and Clinton mafia is going to come out with...don’t throw Powell under the bus just yet...
“Eh. He’ll still endorse her”
I thought so, too, at first.
But he did sort of hem and haw when asked about his endorsement.
Now I’m thinking maybe she found out he’s not going to endorse, so under the bus he went.
“But he did sort of hem and haw when asked about his endorsement.”
He’s such a liberal loser. Sitting in the middle of the road. Getting smacked by the Hillary bus
Just desserts
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving RINO
Hillary now saying Colin Powell told her it was okay to have private email?
The Secret Service is now saying that Colin Powell told them it was okay not to pay hookers when in foreign countries. He said it worked out okay for him, that it wouldn’t cause any problems.
Also, OPM is saying Colin Powell told them it was okay not to worry about the Chinese government hacking the background checks of sensitive US government employees. They said he told them he never had a problem with that.
And HHS is saying Colin Powell told them it was okay to hire Moochelle’s college buddy’s company to build the Obamacare website. Said it would come in under budget, on time, secure and would work really well.
Colin Powell is just the latest Human Colostomy Bag that the Clintons have seduced to their evil ways.
And after filling Colin with the incontinent evil witch’s waste, he’s simply detached and tossed into the heap like the rest of the countless Clinton waste receptacles—all of whom have gotten what they richly deserved by attaching themselves to the Clintons in the first place.
The old line about Clinton “friends” rings true: there are only two types of Clinton friends... Those who have already been destroyed by the Clintons, and those that WILL be destroyed by the Clintons.
Powell lost a lot of us when he endorsed Hussein Obama in 2008.
Powell said that it did not matter whether or not pospotus was muslim.
I never really trusted him, mainly because I didn’t know whether he was a D or an R...which didn’t matter to me at that time...but yes when he endorsed Barky, things started getting a lot clearer to me about who runs the country...
With my eyes wide open, working as hard as I am working to get Trump into the White House, I don’t trust many people these days nor what they say...you have to show me that your a Trump Supporter or I don’t have time for you, as many on twitter have found out!!!
Hey, at least he’s still breathing.
