One of the Clinton campaign’s favorite excuses for using a private email server is that former Secretary of State Colin Powell also did it during his tenure.
While Colin Powell has repeatedly denied any connection to Clinton’s email scandal, a new hack that released two years of Powell’s emails reveals just how wrong Hillary Clinton has been.
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” he wrote.
In a separate email, Powell said he “warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement.”
The Clinton campaign’s attempt to try to say Powell had encouraged the use of a private server left him deeply troubled.
“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin (sic) record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote to business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”
Yikes. Good luck explaining this one, Hillary.

Do you think President Obama is beginning to regret his recent campaign stop for Hillary?
Not that Colin Powell was any nicer about Trump:

Want to bet the media only focuses on what Powell has to say about Trump?
The Media is so desperate to help Hillary win. They ignore all of Colin Powell's damaging comments at Hillary & focus on "National Disgrace"
