The Spy way
she commits a crime, then SOMEBODY ELSE gets in trouble for it.
That pattern has persisted for DECADES —apparently nothing has changed.
I find that amazing.
“Powell’s antiquated AOL account, which worked over a phone line in his office at the State Department.....”
Is this from the Onion?
Dial-Up AOL at the State Department?
Ridiculous.
Good for colon. May he get his just desserts.
That’ll teach him to get wrapped up with Democrats.
By 2009 there was far more awareness of email security vulnerabilities, and laws and regulations were tighter. Shrillary cannot make any rational defense based upon what transpired years before. She was in flagrant violation of State Dept policies and federal regulations.
"Her people have been trying to pin it on me," Powell, 79, told PEOPLE Saturday night at the Apollo in the Hamptons 2016 Night of Legends fête in East Hampton, New York.
"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.
Except....we know absolutely that she's lying...and she shouldn't have done it. Bore your audience....works every time.
Hey Colon Bowel, still spewing your crap I see.
Do us all a favor and STFU!
He used a government computer at his desk for all classified information.
With all due respect to Ret. General Powell, the problem with email is security. it would have been better to call it e-post card instead of email.
During his tenure as SoS, I'm not sure state.gov even had a public email system. The state.gov web page dates back to 1996:
https://web.archive.org/web/19961230182605/http://www.state.gov/
But, look at the contact info at the bottom. The email address is: usdosweb@uic.edu.
Perhaps he didn't cross all all the t's and dot all the i's, but he didn't engage in a gross dereliction of duty.
Bottom line is that Colin Powell was way over paid and appointed over his intellect. I didn’t like him from the time he stopped us from taking out Saddam the first time, through his endorsement of Barack “The Black President”, through all his lefty tripe.
This revelation that he was an idiot with his email and state secrets further solidifies what I think of Colin Bowell.
And you don’t discuss classified information over a nonsecure line. You don’t even hold a classified discussion in the same room with a nonsecure phone. No wireless phones, period. Landlines have to be unplugged from the line. So his comment is irrelevant.
Lock them BOTH up.
Hillary using his criminal behavior to justify her own just doesn’t cut it, and Republican’s shouldn’t fall for this.
Lock them BOTH up.
If anyone should know better, it’s a retired 4 star general. Lock both their azzes up.
How the FBI Went Easy on Hillary Clinton
Published September 9, 2016
By Paul Sperry, The New York Post
It’s clear now the FBI conducted a sweetheart investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail shenanigans that appears to have been fixed from the start to go nowhere.
Far from exonerating Clinton, the nearly 60 pages of documents expose both the systematic destruction of subpoenaed evidence by Clinton’s aides and the curious lack of interest by investigators in recovering it.
Agents also failed to resolve unanswered questions, reconcile contradictory testimony or sweat uncooperative witnesses.
Comey declared the investigation free of undue influence three days after his agents interviewed Clinton at FBI headquarters under special terms. Agents weren’t allowed to Mirandize Clinton or place her under oath, even though she was the subject of a criminal investigation possibly involving espionage. They weren’t even allowed to record her answers.
What’s more, Comey made the two FBI agents who interviewed Clinton — along with all agents and forensic analysts involved in the so-called investigation — sign non-disclosure agreements gagging them from talking about the case even with other employees.
Comey even let Clinton’s State Department aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson sit in on the interview with Clinton’s other lawyers, despite the glaring conflict of interest. FBI documents make clear Mills and Samuelson led the effort to search and destroy Clinton’s subpoenaed e-mails and should’ve been prime targets of the investigation.
Comey didn’t even attend her interview and, per his testimony, only read a “summary” of it.
The FBI failed to pursue even the most basic lines of questioning. When Clinton pleaded ignorance about basic classification symbols, agents could’ve produced the State documents she signed acknowledging she was briefed about how to ID and handle classified information at the highest levels.
