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

[CrusaderFrank]

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.

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

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.

Powell's not running for President 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!

It's a crime, but it's Hillary, so it's not really a crime

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

Does he ever?

Yes, sock girl. Thanks for playing

Maybe Hillary can invoke the "But but but but but Powell did it too!" defense

State department needs to recommend filing charges against Condi and Powell

Good. After corrupt cankles gets indicted, investigate them. I wonder if they deleted their emails?

glad you ask ..


Not long after George W. Bush assumed the presidency in 2001, Rove, his top political aide, set up a private email server for use in the White House. The stated purpose of the system — the primary domain name on which was gwb43.com — was that it would be used exclusively for the sort of political correspondence that Bush and Rove were not permitted to do on the taxpayer’s dime.

Seven years later, Bush and Rove were embroiled in two competing scandals — the Valerie Plame scandal, in which operatives for Vice Pres. Dick Cheney, including Rove and Scooter Libby, were accused of unmasking Valerie Plame, a CIA specialist in the black market for weapons of mass destruction, for purely partisan reasons, and the U.S. Attorney purge, in which Rove’s political operation in the White House was accused of ordering Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to purge eight U.S. attorneys who were qualified prosecutors and replace them with political hacks with little or no prosecutorial experience.

Rove escaped prosecution in the Libby case, but Libby was convicted (Bush quickly commuted the sentence) on March 6, 2007, at the same time Bush and Rove were under fire for purging the U.S. attorneys. During the investigation, it came to light that Rove’s server had been used to send official, non-political emails — correspondence that was required by law to be preserved under the Presidential Records Act.

On April 12, 2007, Rove’s operation admitted that it had deleted at least 5 million emails from the server. In December 2009, technicians who had examined the server reported that the number of emails that had been deleted was far greater — 22 million.

WTF is it with you calling me a sock?

I've been here for years, and we both started out at H.

Till they kicked you out.

Good to know despite the irrelevancy

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!

If Powell sent SAP level classified material through a private email server, he should share a cell with Hillary.

In your desperation to deflect, you ignore a crime has been committed if SAP information has been improperly handled. There's a reason this is a crime, peoples lives are at stake with information of that nature.

No one believes the Barrack Hussein Obama justice department will ever indict a Democrat. Because they won't. Nobody has lost their jobs for any of the incompetence or crimes committed by his supporters.

You're fine with this. If it was a Republican you'd be screaming so loud the neighbors would be calling the cops because of the noise.

Powell openly admitted the practice of using personal email for State Department business YEARS ago.

Did you see the rubes hysterically screaming for an investigation or an indictment? Did you see their propaganda outlets telling them to scream for such?

Me, neither.

That's the dead giveaway this Clinton email hysteria is pure partisan hackery, as CrusaderFrank inadvertently admitted. Powell wasn't going to run for President, so its all good in his case...somehow.

Hillary Clinton kept saying that over Government officials received information via private email servers. Apparently--she was correct in that statement.

You build a House of Cards it's eventually going to collapse on your head.

That "everybody did it" does not keep you out of jail.

Good. They should be indicted as well.

That's the thing, see. The Right is terrified they can't beat Clinton on an open field. They think the only way they can win is for her to be taken down by a stroke or by an indictment.

This emails shit is another Hail Mary pass.

Apparently working for a President who has an R after his name makes it okay.

Powell openly admitted he did this YEARS before you rubes heard about Clinton's emails. It was in his book! Right there in black and white on paper!

Why weren't you screaming for his emails to be torn open and for him to be indicted?

Hmmmm...

Because your propaganda outlets didn't tell you to. That's why.

One cannot be 'indicted' unless he violated the law, and no 'laws' were 'violated' by either Powell or Clinton.

I know you're being sarcastic, but what you said is correct. Hilary Clinton supporters could care less if she broke law - that is the problem with you guys. My feeling is if you break the law you should pay the price, no matter what party you belong to.

I beg to differ with that assessment. There is no question whether what Hildebeast did was illegal, the only question is whether or not the DOJ does its job.

Fuck Powell...and I didn't read his book. Send him to jail with Hillary.

 

[deltex1]

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. 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."

He set the example for everyone else to follow!

Not quite the same explanation Hillary gave...and it's not a security review as she claims...it's a criminal investigation....yo.
