On ABC’s This Week, former Sec. of State Colin Powell admitted that he used a private email account for public business. Powell’s explanation of why he used a private email account amounted to a death blow for Republicans who are trying to build a scandal out of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Powell’s description of his own emails as pretty benign matches up with Rep. Adam Schiff’s description of the Hillary Clinton emails that the Benghazi committee has read. According to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Clinton’s private email system was based on the system that Powell used.
The technology available in most federal agencies is woefully outdated. It isn’t surprising that appointees would use technology that is available in the private sector because it is better. Powell’s emails from his personal account went into the State Department system because they were addressed to employees in State. The same is the case with the Clinton emails. Powell’s discussion of his own experience with his personal email account adds credibility to the claim that there is nothing to see here.
If Hillary Clinton broke the law, as some Republicans are claiming, then Colin Powell also broke the law.
The more that is revealed about the use of private email, the more it looks like Republicans are trying to make something out of nothing. It has been a bad day for the Republican Clinton email scandal, and it is only going to get worse for the Republican Party as they continue to go down what looks like a dead end.
i think Powell is having an attack of conscious of late he seems to be setting things straight that are more republican hyperbole than truth, i waiting on the blockbuster tell all on the Cheyney/Bush Iraq oil scheme. more and more are coming out or going away from the right wing agenda i think no one really wants to go down in history with the Cheyneys et al of the dark time in American history. think about this republicans Bush and all kept saying that they weren't going to give Pres. a blank check first of all congress signs the checks, and they didn't want to leave debt on the grandchildren well my friends if Pres. had not saved the economy and is bringing it back with no help from them would that debt not be left not just on their grand kids but us all. they are not nor will they be your friends as long as money talks you and your well being walks. recognize 2016
