Republican Colin Powell Deals Death Blow to Hillary Clinton Email Scandal
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The technology available in most federal agencies is woefully outdated.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.

sadly resigned that it won't.
So see! You got your wish! I actually hate Berniebots more than republicans! That took months of your garbage to accomplish 
out of nothing, DM M.
I remember reading early on about this.. that Powell had used his private e-mail server, too.
This was before it became the law.. just like with Hillary. But, when has that ever stopped Cons and whomever else is whining about this?
No way. I thought they had her with this one.
But it would be a mistake for any Democrat to use "Powell did it, too" as a defense for anything.
I mean, who doesn't have this image permanently seared into their brain?
Just sayin'...
See you around!
I certainly goofed once in the Bernie Sanders Group, when I replied to a post - to reply specifically to THAT post. I just didn't have the presence of mind to check up at the top of the screen to see which forum the thread was in. D'OH! It's easy enough to do if one is momentarily not paying attention. Taught me to make sure to check which forum. I apologized, of course. It's a habit that just sorta has to be formed. I'm working on it myself, trying to be more contientious about that.
Btw - thank you for being so courteous!
