Powell has 'no recollection' of Clinton email dinner conversation

Conason's anecdote, reported Thursday night by The New York Times, recounts a small dinner party at Clinton's Georgetown home toward the beginning of her time as secretary of state, with former secretaries Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice also in attendance. During that dinner, Conason reports, Albright asked the former secretaries to impart advice to Clinton.

“Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer," Conason wrote in his book "Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton,” of which the Times said it acquired an advance copy. Powell, according to Conason's account, told Clinton that "his use of personal email had been transformative for the department" and “thus confirmed a decision [Clinton] had made months earlier — to keep her personal account and use it for most messages.”

...

A spokeswoman for Powell referred to a chapter in his 2012 book "It Worked For Me: In Life and Leadership" for further details about Powell's use of personal email. Unlike Clinton, Powell did not use outside contractors or a personal server in his home.

So he had two computers with two different names. But they were both "connected" to the government's system. And Powell retained "0" documents and deleted "0" documents.

Very different from what Clinton did. She kept a private system unconnected to the government's system.

Well, this has the ring of untruth. I would imagine if asked, the people involved would have given a much broader overview of the world than “hey, use your own email, Hil - now pass the green beans.”

No recollection and have been thrown under the bus by Clinton. But like the good little lap doggy I am I will be endorsing her in a matter of days. Oh, did I mention I am a Republican?

And why would a lawyer take legal advice from a general any way?
