Hillary Clinton’s use of the “Colin Powell told me to do it” defense has hit a snag:
It seems Colin Powell has a different recollection on his advice to Hillary. #OhSnap #ClintonsGonnaClinton https://t.co/XUozdNlGRF

As we reported last night, during questioning about her use of a private email server as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton told the FBI that Colin Powell advised her to use private email.
Powell’s office released a statement to clarify some details that Clinton might have skipped over during her questioning by the FBI:

Powell says he advised Clinton to use State Department computers for emails containing classified information, which is advice Hillary did not take. Powell also never ran his email through a private server located in his basement like Hillary did.
@BraddJaffy @JFKucinich @amychozick ….. This is laughable. HRC tried to throw him under the bus. She is so crooked

Lying to FBI agents, even when not under oath, is illegal… https://t.co/QAXWAkl4DF

@BraddJaffy @amychozick Sounds like a lengthy, convoluted way of saying Hillary lied(again).

"Your honor, you can't send me to jail for robbing that bank. Colin Powell advised me to do it!"

Even the passage in @JoeConason's book alleging this incident explicitly says CP said "no classified." Of course. https://t.co/8QnhMB3u0C

So, Hillary's lying?
Again? https://t.co/ZJB5jdC92n
