Hillary Clinton's email scandal continues.
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...
"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.
Why does the former diplomat believe this to be the case?
"Why do you think?" he said. "It doesn't bother me. But it's okay; I'm free."
The email scandal has dogged presidential hopeful Clinton for more than a year. But federal officials decided not to pursue criminal charges after a three-and-a-half-hour interview, which was when the Democratic nominee disclosed her alleged conversation with Powell.

lol. She watches her crazy shows inside and I watch Amazon Prime
What does he mean by "I'm free?"
“...He will still support the battleaxe in the election....”
Yeah, he wants his share of the globalist/elitist pie.
I think he means that he’s done nothing wrong.
I hope he is now getting a good taste of the poison that he has endorsed. And, I hope he will see that Obama was a mistake, and that Hillary truly is a corrupt liar. Now that he is a target, I am sure he is giving a lot of thought to what a Clinton presidency would be like.
How has he assessed Benghazi? How does he like the immigrant problem...the Muslim terror, the Obamacare fail...?
Tell us, Colin. Do you really back this administration's decisions? Do you really believe that Hillary will be good for your country, your military, your grandchildren’s future?
How’s is feel now you glib racist phoney?
chickens coming home to roost , eh Mr. Powell ?
careful who you cozy up to , you were always their
useful N-word
I watch my Netflix or Amazon in the living room, she is in our room watching her crap on her own. I think what she watches is the Helping with the US going down faster then Bills pants.
New Email Scandal Excuses Tested
Faced with the difficulty of persuading a skeptical public that the “extraordinarily careless” characterization of her email practices by FBI Director James Comey is significantly different from the legally culpable “gross negligence” standard, the Clinton campaign is field testing a couple of new excuses.
First out of the block was the disclosure that neither Secretary Clinton nor any of her many aides (including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, Dennis Cheng, Anne Marie Slaughter, Phillippe Reines, Caitlin Klevorick, and Kris Bladerston) embroiled in the scandal completed the mandatory ethics training required for federal employees.
Clinton Campaign Manager Robbie Mook pointed out that “any confusion, missteps, or technical violations of the law can’t be held against Secretary Clinton or her staff if they were never given the proper training. You can hardly blame the Secretary’s loyal staffers for following her wishes regarding her off-site email server. Neither can we blame Hillary who previously had very limited exposure to classified communications.”
The real culprit according to Mook was “former Secretary of State Colin Powell. It was this Bush appointee who advised incoming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to use her own private email for all her important communications. It was Powell who told her that the only way she could ensure control over access to her email was to take it off-site. Otherwise it would be out of her hands. And as we have seen from the fuss made over the emails Hillary did turn over to the State Department, we can only wonder how much worse it could’ve been if she hadn’t had the opportunity to delete 30,000 personal emails.”

I used to think Colin was a smart man. He really should have known better than to buddy up to democrats and Hillary Clinton. I hope he goes down with her. And he can kiss my ass.
+1...no I bet he never saw the bus.
No matter, Colin will still vote for her.
Important point indeed.
