DeepModem Mom's JournalRepublican Colin Powell Deals Death Blow to Hillary Clinton Email Scandal
On ABCs This Week, former Sec. of State Colin Powell admitted that he used a private email account for public business. Powells explanation of why he used a private email account amounted to a death blow for Republicans who are trying to build a scandal out of Hillary Clintons emails....
Powells description of his own emails as pretty benign matches up with Rep. Adam Schiffs description of the Hillary Clinton emails that the Benghazi committee has read. According to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Clintons private email system was based on the system that Powell used.
The technology available in most federal agencies is woefully outdated. It isnt surprising that appointees would use technology that is available in the private sector because it is better. Powells emails from his personal account went into the State Department system because they were addressed to employees in State. The same is the case with the Clinton emails. Powells discussion of his own experience with his personal email account adds credibility to the claim that there is nothing to see here.
If Hillary Clinton broke the law, as some Republicans are claiming, then Colin Powell also broke the law.
The more that is revealed about the use of private email, the more it looks like Republicans are trying to make something out of nothing. It has been a bad day for the Republican Clinton email scandal, and it is only going to get worse for the Republican Party as they continue to go down what looks like a dead end.
