Pressed by the F.B.I. about her email practices at the State Department, Hillary Clinton told investigators that former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell had advised her to use a personal email account
The account is included in the notes the Federal Bureau of Investigation handed over to Congress on Tuesday, relaying in detail the three-and-a-half-hour interview with Mrs. Clinton in early July that led to the decision by James B. Comey, the bureau’s director, not to pursue criminal charges against her.
The journalist Joe Conason first reported the conversation between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Powell in his coming book about Bill Clinton’s postpresidency, “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton,” which The Times received an advanced copy of.
Mr. Conason describes a conversation in the early months of Mrs. Clinton’s tenure at the State Department at a small dinner party hosted by Madeleine Albright, another former secretary of state, at her home in Washington. Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice also attended.
“Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel to the nation’s next top diplomat,” Mr. Conason writes. “Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.”
Mr. Conason continued, “Saying that his use of personal email had been transformative for the department,” Mr. Powell “thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier — to keep her personal account and use it for most messages.”
A longtime defender of the Clintons, Mr. Conason interviewed both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton for the book, a granular account of the years since Mr. Clinton left office that will be published on Sept. 13.

And Slick Hillary pulls yet another lie out of her big fat ass. What a shock, what a surprise!
Colon Bowel. Lol!
“And the NeoCon Colon Bowell will probably back her up on this.”
Of course, he was in on it and next week Powell is endorsing Hillary.
It’s no longer a lie when Colin backs her up on the story.
...like she was incapable of discerning whether it was right or wrong, even if he DID advise that. I’ll bet he’s saying “no way!”
I asked the same question above. Meaningless buzzword he chose to use for this farce.
Colin Powell endorsed Obama.
So why wouldn’t he endorse Clinton?
He’s a scumbag RINO.
They’ve hidden info from us and ripped us off for too many years.
Joe Conason is a leftist whore. Nothing he says can be trusted. If Powell really did say this then he is stupid (no news there) and Shrillary was stupid to listen. But I seriously, seriously doubt that Powell advised her about what email to use.
“Put Mister Powell under oath.”
There is a better chance that between now and the election that the House Republicans place invading space aliens under oath, than they are to place Colin Powell under oath.
She can't even follow simple instructions! *rolling eyes*
She should have learned not to listen to him after weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
obama is “black”
Therein lies the difference.
and if he said jump of a bridge would she do it?
Were over the private email thing. We have better stuff involving corruption and deleted emails that were about yoga.
I quite sure Powell did NOT tell her to set up a PRIVATE SERVER in her basement!! I MEAN HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE!!!!!
...depends on his much the “foundation” paid him
“Everybody does it.”
Where have we heard that one before?
Only in her crooked little mind.
.... and after dinner was done and desert served, the conversation turned, as it often does, to IMAP vs POP servers and whether one should use SSL or TLS. General Powell suggested opening port 25 and we all laughed! He can be so very droll.
Colin Bowel is being:
