In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: Very Bad Development In Hillary's Email Investigation: She Knew It Was A Security Risk [View all]ebayfool
(3,411 posts)Powell was found to have (iirc) about 12 emails in his regular email accounts as opposed to tens of thousands on Clinton's private server. In her home.

As for her use of personal emails to conduct official business, Clinton made a few comments that distorted the facts:
Clinton said she went above and beyond in complying with a State Department request to turn over work-related emails, saying, I didnt have to turn over anything. However, federal regulations and department guidelines required her to preserve important work emails before she left office, and she did not.
Twice Clinton said that previous secretaries of state did the same thing, using the plural secretaries to defend her use of her personal email account. But the State Department has said only Colin Powell used a personal email account for official business.
Twice Clinton said that she had one device for sending emails, explaining she is not the most technically capable person and wanted to make it as easy as possible. But, in addition to her Blackberry, she occasionally used an iPad to send emails, copies of her publicly released emails show.
Why on earth was this allowed? She allowed herself.
