Don’t forget Hillary was named for Sir Edmund Hillary....years before he was the first to climb Mt. Everest. This woman is a pathological liar. Nothing she says has credibility.

.... and after dinner was done and desert served, the conversation turned, as it often does, to IMAP vs POP servers and whether one should use SSL or TLS. General Powell suggested opening port 25 and we all laughed! He can be so very droll.

Truly LOL

but I’m waiting for evidence that she does anything remotely resembling yoga.

'Yoga' is a code word for lesbian get-togethers.

Powell, an idiot LIB, may have. He’s twice supported nobama.

A hackable, non-protected server environment everyone in the intelligence world knew about.

Here is what I find amusing.

Every Country in the world has a copy of Hillary's emails, except for the United States.

Sounds like Colin is hoping for that same $600,000 cabin on a lake and a new car like Bernie got.

So she basically planned the mail server immediately so she could control the email.

True. Planned and implemented before the conversation with Powell.

And they did have a conversation, although it wasn't exactly as Hillary remembered. Very rarely is one's memory of an event the same as the actual event.

For example: First, there is Hillary's CLAIM of her memory of the event. You have already read that.

Now... Here is what likely happened.

Powell brought up the subject of Hillary's private server. He told her she should use a private email account like he did. He thought that building your own server might be crossing the line and illegal and risky. She told him she already had expert advice and didn't need his advice. (what she actually said would violate the no profanity rules here on FR). He dropped the conversation.

I'm positive Colon Bowel offered up his body and soul to Hillary in this matter in return for something he wants her to bestow on him in a future Clinton administration.

Since he's going to be 80 years old, I'm not sure what he wants, maybe a Presidential Medal of Freedom, maybe cushy jobs for relatives....who knows...but he's got his oar in with her for some reason or other.

Or maybe senility has set in.....

Powell is the kind of idiot that will let the wind blow him

If she says the sky is blue, you best go outside and check. She’s morphed into nothing more than a greedy, insane power whore.

They seem confident that everyone is stupid.
“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.”

- She used it for ALL messages. Not "except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.” She never used the state department's secure emails system at all. She took his advice to use a state system for classified comms to mean "use your private for everything"? She did *not* follow his advice as stated in this article. Nor did he advise her to homebrew a server. This is a patently lame illogical defense.

You can’t compare the two. Hillary had a Private Computer System and Network. She had her own DNS server, private Domain, private file servers, and Private Computers.

In fact, Hillary refused to use Encrypted Devices after being told it was a State Dept requirement!

Hillary, who doesn’t know how to do a Google Search - told the State Director of IT that the encrypted requirements were “Non-sense!”

How’s that for judgment?

Powell got two emails a day, in that era. It’s Apples and Bowling balls.

This is like a Robber caught in a house at 2:00 am saying that guy on the street told him he could take everything from this house.

What if someone on the street told him that? It doesn’t matter.

Has Hillary ever taken responsibility in her life? Ever?

Appears this conversation, which Powell cannot recall, happened after she has decided to continue use of her private email.

She used it for *all* messages. Not state.gov email addy at all.

I think we can expect Shrillary to roll out the Powell endorsement event very soon. Trump is on a roll and the Democrats need something .... I’m guessing that Powell has offered his endorsement to her, at a time and place of her choosing.

I seriously doubt that Powell ever discussed the private server with Shrillary, and probably never discussed email at all. With all the grand strategic and diplomatic issues of the world, why would Powell even think to spend his time with Hillary discussing email???

So? Everyone would advise Hillary to use private email ... for personal non-work related communications. Now Powell may have done the same thing as Hillary to avoid oversight but I’d love to hear his explanation as to why it isn’t against the law.
