CNN-reporting Colin Powell/Condi Rice--staffers received top secret info thru private email servers

[g5000]

So two wrongs make a right?

Nope, but screaming for the indictment of one and not the one who set the precedent is raging hypocrisy.

 

[g5000]

To complement the official State Department computer in my office, I installed a laptop computer on a private line. My personal email account on the laptop allowed me direct access to anyone online. I started shooting emails to my principal assistants, to individual ambassadors, and increasingly to my foreign-minister colleagues who like me were trying to bring their ministries into the 186,000-miles-per-second world.

ZOMG!!! Colin Powell confessed in print! Right there out in the open! YEARS before the Hillary email "scandal".

INDICT! INDICT!

We must lock down that laptop and rip into all of his emails immediately.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How did CNN obtain that illegal information?

Did Hillary tell them?

Nope. Colin Powell openly wrote all about it in his book in 2012. Long before all the fuss over Clinton.

Idiot.

He wrote about Condi's emails?

I never read Powell's book and I'm not a paid disinformation troll with my daily DNC "fact sheet"

Did he mean personal State department email or his Carlos Danger@aol email?

STEPHANOPOULOS: OK. So we'll cut back to you on that later on.

But I do want to ask you one final question on this Hillary Clinton e-mail controversy. Which, of course, put you back in the news a bit this week, as well.

You were secretary of State during the early days of e-mails. You were one of the first secretaries, I believe, to set up a personal e-mail account. And you pushed to modernize the State Department's system.

Based on your experience, what do you make of these revelations this week and what would you recommend that she do now?

POWELL: I -- I can't speak to a -- Mrs. Clinton and what she should do now. That would be inappropriate.

What I did when I entered the State Department, I found an antiquated system that had to be modernized and modernized quickly.

So we put in place new systems, bought 44,000 computers and put a new Internet capable computer on every single desk in every embassy, every office in the State Department. And then I connected it with software.

But in order to change the culture, to change the brainware, as I call it, I started using it in order to get everybody to use it, so we could be a 21st century institution and not a 19th century.

But I retained none of those e-mails and we are working with the State Department to see if there's anything else they want to discuss with me about those e-mails.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So they want...

POWELL: (INAUDIBLE) have a stack of them.

STEPHANOPOULOS: -- they've asked you to turn them over, but you don't have them, is that it?

POWELL: I don't have any -- I don't have any to turn over. I did not keep a cache of them. I did not print them off. I do not have thousands of pages somewhere in my personal files.

And, in fact, a lot of the e-mails that came out of my personal account went into the State Department system. They were addressed to State Department employees and the State.gov domain. But I don't know if the servers the State Department captured those or not.

And most -- they were all unclassified and most of them, I think, are pretty benign, so I'm not terribly concerned even if they were able to recover them.


'This Week' Transcript: Former Secretary of State Colin Powell

 

[g5000]

Powell set the precedent. He used a personal email account to communicate State Department business.

This is undeniable fact. Powell has openly stated it. It cannot be spun away.

INDICT! INDICT!

 

[bucs90]

Powell and Rice are black, so indictments on them would be racist.

But Hilary needs to go to.jail

Do you need a dictionary? He plainly stated he used a personal email account to communicate official State Department business.

You can't spin away the truth, no matter how hard you try.

Powell did it, therefore it's legal, right?

 

[g5000]

Powell put 44,000 computers on his every State Department employee's desk and then, "I started using it in order to get everybody to use it".

"To complement the official State Department computer in my office, I installed a laptop computer on a private line. My personal email account on the laptop allowed me direct access to anyone online.

He set the example for everyone else to follow!

If you think Clinton should be indicted, then you should be calling for Powell to be indicted, or you are a raging hypocrite. You should be demanding all of Powell's computers be recovered and investigated, and then every Sooper Sekrit Code Red Ultra Unicorn Alpha message allegedly found on them (according to anonymous Fox News sources) discussed at length.


Nevertheless, it is precisely because of the precedent set by the previous Administration that I have said it was not illegal for Clinton to use a personal account.

So Hillary was following Powell, even if its illegal? Not even Hillary tried that

Powell's not running for President is he?

Powell did call for the murder of Qaddafi and hand over Libya to ISIS, did he?

 

[g5000]

Is he in jail yet? Is he in jail yet?

Is he?

So it's not a crime if you aren't going to run for President?

Fascinating dodge! Just...fascinating. Dude, you just admitted this email hysteria is hack partisan bullshit. BWA-HA-HA-HA!

From the OP link:

"Colin Powell and top staffers for Condoleezza Rice received classified information through personal email accounts, according to a new report from State Department investigators."

TRAITOR!

INDICT! INDICT! INDICT!

I hope they DO indict that back stabbing liberal who called himself a Republican but supported Obama for president twice.

I don't think he thought that one through - then again, it's Frank.

Does he ever?
