For those who say "people on our side made bad choices as well so a Dem shouldn't be pointing fingers as an excuse". Where are the threads about Powell? Jed Bush? And others? But when it's Hillary doing the same exact thing, she gets grilled for it? The funny part of it is, the independent voters and those on the fence see all this pilling on, and investigations that lead no where (even when Reps are in charge of the investigations), those people see what's up and they are already tired of it, all of this stuff that the R's bring out will lead to her winning in 2016! They see the desperation, the personal insults, and such insults (even when joking) that "she claims to be a female, but I'm not sure"? THAT was even said in this thread! Can't stick with just politics as you know you're not finding anything that will stick against her? They see that one side is very scared that she will win that they will throw everything at her in a desperate attempt in hoping something will stick. So, in advance, us Dems thank you for pushing people to vote for her in 2016!

 

Two Names The Press Omits From Email Coverage: Colin Powell And Jeb Bush | Blog | Media Matters for America

 

"Appearing on ABCs This Week on Sunday, Powell was asked how he responded to the State Department request last year that all former secretaries hand over emails from their time in office. Powell confirmed that he had used private email while secretary but that he didn't hand over any emails to the State Department because his private emails were all gone.

 

"I don't have any to turn over," he explained. "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." Powell's revelation is important because it puts into perspective the email protocol of a former secretary of state. By his own account, Powell's emails, unlike Clinton's, include his regular communications with foreign dignitaries. What was he emailing them in the lead-up to the war in Iraq? We'll never know.

 

To date however, both the New York Times and the Washington Post have largely downplayed references to the fact that Powell's private, secretary of state emails are all gone.

 

Why is Powell relevant to Clinton? Because after she took questions from the reporters yesterday about the email saga, the press focused in on the fact in reviewing her private emails, Clinton found roughly 60,000 messages. She handed over 30,000 to the State Department and determined the other 30,000 were personal in nature and disgarded them."

 

"And so here's why Jeb Bush's name is conspicuously absent from the current coverage: He did the exact same thing. Like, the exact same thing.

 

From the Tampa Bay Times [emphasis added]:

 

 

The former governor conducted all his communication on his private [email protected] account and turned over the hand-selected batch to the state archives when he left office. Absent from the stash are emails the governor deemed not relevant to the public record: those relating to politics, fundraising and personal matters while he was governor.

 

And again here, the Tampa Bay Times reported Bush, "hand-picked emails from his time as governor to help build his case for a 2016 primary run for president."

 

Who decided which emails were "relevant to the public record"? Jeb Bush."

Gov of a state VS one of the highest ranking officials in the federal govt maybe ? Either way I don't like it .

Do you not understand the story or the regulations in this story. Neither Jeb nor Powell were under the same regulations or directives.

 

Care to try again ? Hillary has no excuse.

Colin Powell could have 50 email addresses compared to Hillarys 2 or 3 and I would trust Colin Powell 1,000,000 times over.

Hilary isn't one to be trusted. EVER.

An interesting take is that any government employee who did official business interacting with the Swcretary may be prosecuted.

 

A stretch but possible.

 

Hillarry care if she exposed little people to breaking the law?
