ATTENTION: Colin Powell Says He Agrees With Hillary Clinton On ‘Classified’ Emails

The Republicans just love to talk about the so-called “scandal” with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails while she was still at the State Department. It’s a regular talking point that comes up at least once at every GOP debate and is also a guaranteed applause line on the stump. Here’s the GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump, giving his expert opinion on the matter just last year:



But now we have another former Secretary of State–Colin Powell–who has also seen some of his emails retroactively classified. Powell said he agrees with Clinton that all of their emails–every single one of them–should be declassified and released to the public:

I wish they would release them, so that a normal, air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, ‘What’s the issue?’ They were unclassified at the time, and they are, in my judgment, still unclassified.

My lai massacre is all I have to say about this cretin

He worked his ass off trying to paper over this.

One of the sorry bastards involved in this massacre made his way to this town where I live and I'm here to tell you he was as crazy as a loon. He finally shot himself in the head, two times. We all figured his wife of a few months pulled the trigger the second time but we'll never know as there wasn't even an investigation. He spent quiet a while in a comatose state. fitting end to a sorry sorry bastard.
Butch Groover was his name. He was scheduled to testify at the My Lai hearings but they quickly seen he was batshit crazy and he never got the chance. Anyone who would change his name to butch groover has to be a bonafied nut. This name change was before his military service I might add.

fuck colin powell

I've been saying for a while that anybody who knows anything about this knows there's nothing here. If you handle unclassified information and classified information that is going to get passed around, ultimately there will be stuff that appears to be classified. It happens all the time. The mistake here was ever allowing her to use a private server for official business. What happened was highly predictable and should never have been authorized.
