Holy Colin, Batman. How to avoid the State Dept email system.

Democrats release email exchange between Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton

House Democrats late Wednesday released a full email exchange in which Colin Powell advised Hillary Clinton just after she was sworn in as secretary of state on the use of personal email and devices.

The exchange, released by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, occurred two days after she took over the cabinet position in 2009.

A delicious read, boys and girls!

read it! I always liked Gen. Powell, and as disappointed as I was with his speech about the WMD's, I still believe he was strong armed by somebody (probably Cheney) into doing so. He always seemed like aa fair guy with very little partisanship.

he was one of the officers involved in the attempted coverup of MyLai. I have never trusted him, he is nothing but a deceitful jerk.

forum: a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

You are with the other idiots who are hell bent on pimping rump.

He should be embarrassed for being such an idiot. And he should be embarrassed for being a rump supporter.

This election has too many implications. Lives and civil rights depend on it. It's not a joke and I have no patience for selfish and shallow people.

“What I did do was have a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.) So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers,” Powell wrote. “I even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department on their personal email accounts. I did the same thing on the road in hotels.”
