Colin Powell attempted to persuade Hillary Clinton and her aides to not use him as a scapegoat for the controversy surrounding her private email server, according to leaked emails hacked from the former secretary of state’s Gmail account.
In the emails, which were obtained by The Intercept, Powell wrote to at least one confidant about his repeated warning to Clinton not to blame him for the scandal.
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” he wrote. He also had tried to settle the matter in a meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.
In a separate email, Powell said he “warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement.”

A general from our army has to throw a mini tantrum at a Hamptons party? I’m glad I’ve disregarded him since his support of Kenyan communism.
If Powell would have joined with Schwarzkopf, it had a decent chance of happening. Powell was very against it.
I know why there is a ‘world wide’ war against him. And I’m pretty sure he is being very tight lipped about what could come once he becomes president. No since tipping your hand, let them wonder
Underlying all this is one glaring fact: Powell is hanging around with Dem donors and operatives and really can’t be called a Republican any more, not even an eRepublican.
