[underpants]

Washington (CNN)Former Secretary of State Colin Powell told his successor, Hillary Clinton, that he used his own personal computer to communicate with friends and foreign leaders and sent emails without going through the State Department server, according to emails released Wednesday by congressional Democrats.

Clinton has previously said she reached out to Powell when she began serving as the nation's top diplomat to find out how he used personal devices. In a four-paragraph email response from Powell, he told Clinton he didn't use a BlackBerry, but detailed how he got around having his communications with both employees and people outside the State Department becoming part of the agency's official record.

"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 on their personal email accounts. I did the same thing on the road in hotels," Powell wrote.

1. This should be front page news.

Considering how much attention the media has given this subject, I would expect lots of attention to this information.

He said officials at the State Department refused to allow them in secure spaces and when he resisted "they gave me all kinds of nonsense about how they gave out signals and could be read by spies, etc."

Powell says officials had concerns about mobile phones, too, but tells Clinton: "I had numerous meetings with them."
He also revealed that he had "an ancient version of a PDA and used it."

In the email exchange Powell wrote "there is a real danger."
"Government or not, to do business, it may become an official record and subject to the law," he said.

He added: "Be very careful ... I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data."

3. THIS is Colin Powell

he threw her under the bus, but that is what he does, he protects his public perception above all.

The right thing would be for him to stand up and be honest about this, but he won't.
