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

The dinner party exchange is ludicrous. No way Colin Powell, or anyone except a smarmy Clinton, would ever say anything like that.

Waiting for the perjury charges...

yeah, i’ve soured on him through the years.

He was against the 90s gulf war even though the necessity was pretty obvious.

More lies and truth twisting.

If Hillary was anywhere near as smart and experienced as she claims in her campaign speeches why would she need to seek advice, or take advice, on using eMail and handling classified documents?

It seems that as a former activist First Lady and two-term senator she would already have a grasp of basic information like that.

Glad to see Weasel Powell getting the exposure he deserves. No wonder he has come out to support her. Affirmative Action FAKE.

I want to hear testimony under oath from the people she had doing the deletions.

**********************************************

She had her attorneys do it so they won’t be talking - attorney/client privilege. This includes Cheryl Mills, who, whenever she has critical info that could sink ILLary, says she was acting as Mrs. Clinton’s attorney, therefore it is attorney/client privilege and she can’t talk about it. She’s been pulling this stunt for years.

Much easier to lie her way out of it. Or at minimum it sure as hell is working for her.

the Clinton Foundation confirmed that it would no longer accept foreign or corporate funds should Mrs. Clinton win in November

They'll just figure out a way to launder it through a suitable third-party.

Didn’t I read somewhere that Powell has NO RECOLECTION of any conversation with Hitlary that he suggested she use a private email system? In fact didn’t Hitlary already have her email system in place prior to having any such discussion with Powell?

If indeed he did tell her to keep her PERSONAL issues and emails OFF of the government systems, who’s telling the truth?

Absolutely possible.

If the Lone Star begins a succession movement, I will be moving my family there instead of Louisiana.

The story I read, via Drudge, has Powell saying ‘used AOL’ because there was no internal State Dept e-mail [unclassified] system in the State Dept in 2001....I find that as unusual in that I was using Army unclassified e-mail in the late 80s, although it was very clunky then.

But there is a difference to me between using private e-mail, from a public corp like AOL versus your own private e-mail server.

Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if she already told him she was going to do this and for him to have the “right” answers when the press comes calling.
