Pressed by the F.B.I. about her email practices at the State Department, Hillary Clinton told investigators that former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell had advised her to use a personal email account
The account is included in the notes the Federal Bureau of Investigation handed over to Congress on Tuesday, relaying in detail the three-and-a-half-hour interview with Mrs. Clinton in early July that led to the decision by James B. Comey, the bureau’s director, not to pursue criminal charges against her.
The journalist Joe Conason first reported the conversation between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Powell in his coming book about Bill Clinton’s postpresidency, “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton,” which The Times received an advanced copy of.
Mr. Conason describes a conversation in the early months of Mrs. Clinton’s tenure at the State Department at a small dinner party hosted by Madeleine Albright, another former secretary of state, at her home in Washington. Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice also attended.
“Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel to the nation’s next top diplomat,” Mr. Conason writes. “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.”
Mr. Conason continued, “Saying that his use of personal email had been transformative for the department,” Mr. Powell “thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier — to keep her personal account and use it for most messages.”
A longtime defender of the Clintons, Mr. Conason interviewed both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton for the book, a granular account of the years since Mr. Clinton left office that will be published on Sept. 13.

Hillary: Another white woman getting an innocent negro man in trouble...
Powell: “B——h set me up!”
LMAO
Mr Bow-wow said that hey? Well then, I guess we will have to have a talk with him as soon as we issue the warrant for your arrest Hilliary.
I would turn inside out to be able to put the cuffs on her along with cankle bracelets.
“Exactly, a few days ago it was reported that Powell was going to endorse Hillary.”
They are smart, maybe too smart.
“However, I must say that is Classic Clinton Triangulation.”
I would call it wrapping one’s self with a human flag.
Hillary Clinton Told F.B.I. Colin Powell Advised Her to Use Private Email
________________________________________
Why didn’t he advise her to jump on her broom and fly off into the sunset. Now, that would have been a winner for our country.
Now wait here a minute...you might have a talking point there for the Trump campaign.
lets see....”Just like the Clintons, blame a black person if your caught in a crime.”
How’s that?
Not really. By the time of this dinner Clinton already had her private server up and running. She had it done during confirmation hearings. And she NEVER set up a state department email for classified stuff. He might as well have been talking to the wall.
The way I read it that Powell (a really detestable person BTW) told her to use a private email account, that’s not exactly the same as saying, “set up your own private server in your bathroom, so you can avoid FOIA requests, and then delete tens of thousands of emails.”
Essentially, Clinton is lying again, and trying to pass the buck. It’s not unlike her statement to Scott Pelly a couple of weeks ago, when he said that the “ball had been dropped in Benghazi,” she said, “Benghazi wasn’t my ball to carry, we have security experts for that.”
If he did? She named him cuz she thinks he’s untouchable.
I know everyone wants to see Hillary’s missing emails, but I’m waiting for evidence that she does anything remotely resembling yoga. Or does she get some stooge to do the yoga for her?
Details do not matter.
Powell is going to endorse Clinton and then explain why the Secretary of State having a home server is not a bad thing.
After that, if you attack Hillary’s home server, Powell takes the fall and Powell is one of the few untouchables in DC.
Um, Powell used a private email account. Hillary used an entire mail server—and her own email organization, and let her staff use it, too.
A hackable, non-protected server environment everyone in the intelligence world knew about.
Night and day, apples and oranges.
when did this conversation with Powell supposedly take place?
The domain name for the mail server was registered on Jan 13, 2009, about a month after Obama nominated her for SOS.
So she basically planned the mail server immediately so she could control the email.
Hillary in 2000: “”As much as I’ve been investigated and all of that, you know, why would I —- I don’t even want -— why would I ever want to do e-mail?” she’s seen on tape telling Peter Paul on home video captured at a fundraiser.
“Can you imagine?” she said. “
Gee . . . I thought he was a soldier. Was I wrong? I guess I missed his tenure as attorney general. Bwahaa!
Now I can’t stop thinking about somebody bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Great description.
Solution?
Put Mister Powell under oath.
.
Lol. That was exactly my first thought.
And the NeoCon Colon Bowell will probably back her up on this.
“I would call it wrapping one’s self with a human flag.”
Spot on.
You can attack Hillary.
But you can’t attack Powell.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They call Joe Conason a reporter.
