On Friday, the New York Times reported that Clinton told FBI officials former Secretary of State Colin Powell had advised her to use a personal email account while she held the Secretary of State office herself.

"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.

I'd have a lot more sympathy for him, if I didn't know he'll endorse her anyway.

How do you classify that? Is that worse than thrown to the back of the bus?

So Colin Powell thinks he’s in the clear? LOL Too funny. He is just another Hillary confidant it seems. Thrown under the Clinton bus. Who cares.

One can somehow visualize Hillary...Hello Colin, take this...(verbal, of course) "Smack-down!" Ha ha ha ha..

His reply?

... "It doesn't bother me..."

In other words..."Thank-you Maam, may I have another?

Powell was just seen at Barnes & Nobles buying a copy of “Sado-Masochism for Dummies”. This will help him continue to support Hillary Clinton.

Well Colin, you chose to lie down with the leftist dogs. Little late to complain about the fleas.

... Bush overrode him and opted for Swartzkoff’s Rommel style deep desert flanking attack. But that hasn’t stopped Powell from taking the credit.
*********************************
Trying to claim the credit for Swartzkoff’s battle plans is what caused me to lose all respect for Powell. He is worthless!

If the Clintoons thought this email scandal was going away, it just blew up. LSM is reporting it pretty heavily & even the left are pissed she threw Powell under the bus. Wash Compost surprisingly had the most critical articles/editorials that I’ve read so far but I’m sure they will be back to slobbering over Hitlery in the morning.
Trump should stay quiet & let this one drag granny down on its own.

Better watch out General Powell, Hillary might see you as getting uppity. She might call out the slave foreman and his hounds on you.

Hillary would murder her own family if it would give her power. Yes, the witch is that evil.

During the Kuwait war Powell planned for a front wide frontal assault across open ground against well prepared positions in a WWI style attack. Bush overrode him and opted for Swartzkoff’s Rommel style deep desert flanking attack. But that hasn’t stopped Powell from taking the credit.

Anyone want to estimate the value of Schwarzkopf's IQ / (that of his superior) ?

There are political generals, and there are military generals.

"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.

This is the most damning statement since it shows Hillary must have known what she was doing was questionable at best.

So ILLilary, having seen a questionable republican, thought to use him to her advantage thinking that if he endorsed her as POTUS he would do anything to keep her afloat? Subsequently, she stuck him and he deflated like a balloon.

And yet many ‘informed’ persons continue to believe Donald Trump to be a barker at the circus. The circus is becoming larger. We now have an unbalanced tight rope walker.
