Hillary says Powell advised her to use her personal email account

[CharlesDavenport]

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.”

Unsurprisingly -

Mr. Powell’s office released a statement on Thursday night saying he had no recollection of the dinner conversation. He did write Mrs. Clinton an email memo, which may exist in the F.B.I. files, describing his use of his personal email account for unclassified messages “and how it vastly improved communications within the State Department,” the statement said.

In his memoir, “It Worked for Me,” Mr. Powell writes about his personal email, and he has taken pride in having tried to advance the antiquated technology practices at the State Department. But his use of personal email and Mrs. Clinton’s aren’t entirely parallel. Mr. Powell did not have a server at his house or rely on outside contractors, as Mrs. Clinton did at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

what she heard:

do whatever the **** you want, *****!

Ah yes, somebody told her to do it and good old "He did it too" defense, even though what she did and what he did are completely different. If she would just tell the truth about this issue, it would resolve a lot quicker. But then if she admits to carelessness and negligence with America's National Security, she won't be smashing any glass ceilings. Because for Hillary, it isn't about whether or not the glass ceiling is smashed, it is about whether or not Hillary gets to smash the glass ceiling.

Different time, different circumstances different level of technology. He did not have much choice she did.

Driving really fast will get you to work quicker. I advise everyone to drive as fast as the law allows to save time.... now everyone apparently can go 40 miles over and point to this as validation of that act, right?

Powell's private email address was still on a secure government server though.

State Dept.: 'No Evidence' That 'Deliberately Edited' Videotape Was Meant to Conceal Information

The U.S. State Department said there is “no evidence” that a “deliberately edited” videotape of its Dec. 2, 2013 State Department briefing was intended to “conceal information from the public,” even though someone requested the edit.

Spokesman John Kirby said a months-long internal investigation was unable to identify the person who asked for the edit: “And while the technician recalls receiving a phone call requesting the edit, there is no evidence to indicate who might’ve placed that call or why.”

Kirby also said even if the video was edited with the intent to conceal, “There was no policy in place at the time prohibiting such an act.
