Compulsive Liar Clinton's Colin Powell Excuse...As new emails emerge, Hillary’s defense is that the general made her do it.

When Bill and Hillary Clinton get caught for bad behavior, they follow a
familiar pattern. First deny, then call it old news, then roll out the
attack machine of media and political allies to trash whoever needs to be
collateral damage to save them. The private email-Clinton Foundation saga
is now in phase three, and no less than Colin Powell has been drafted as
roadkill.

The Powell-made-Hillary-do-it defense emerged late last week in two parts.
The New York Times reported that FBI interview notes turned over to
Congress last week show that Mrs. Clinton told the G-men that Mr. Powell
had advised her to use a personal email account. The Times didn’t name its
source, but in these cases always ask who benefits from the leak? Answer:
Mrs. Clinton.

The Times also reported in the same story that the advance copy of a new
book by Joe Conason backs up the blame-it-on-Powell story. Aficionados of
Clinton scandals will remember Mr. Conason as the most dedicated
stenographer in the Clinton stable.

Mr. Conason has written a biography of Bill Clinton, “Man of the World.”
And the Times reports that the book relates a conversation early in Mrs.
Clinton’s time at State at a dinner party hosted by Madeleine Albright,
another former Secretary of State. Mr. Conason writes that Mr. Powell
“told [Mrs. Clinton] 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 writes that this conversation “confirmed a decision she had
made months earlier—to keep her personal account and use it for most
messages.” The Times notes that Mr. Conason “interviewed both Mr. and Mrs.
Clinton for the book.” Voila, the Clintons are back at their old standby,
the everybody-does-it defense.


Mr. Powell’s office released a statement saying he doesn’t recall that
dinner conversation. And at a weekend event on Long Island, Mr. Powell
told People magazine and the New York Post that Mrs. Clinton “was using
[the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her
what I did.” He added: “Her people have been trying to pin it on me.”

This isn’t the first time Mrs. Clinton has tried the Powell defense. In
February she twisted the findings of State Department Inspector General
Steve Linnick to claim that Mr. Powell had routinely used private email
and was also subject to bogus classification claims. Yet Mr. Powell never
set up a private server, and he used State’s classified computer system
for classified communications.

Mr. Powell explained in his 2012 memoir that his interest in using private
email was to send a message to the bureaucracy about improving State
Department technology. Mrs. Clinton’s goal by contrast was to hide all of
her emails from federal disclosure laws.

The latest evidence for this conclusion is Monday’s news that during its
email probe the FBI uncovered 15,000 work-related emails sent to or from
Mrs. Clinton that she failed to turn over to the State Department. That is
nearly 50% more than the 30,000 she did turn in, and she had promised to
turn over all work-related emails.

Also on Monday Judicial Watch released more emails showing the close ties
between the Clinton State Department and Clinton Foundation. In a June 23,
2009 email, former Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band wrote to Clinton
aide Human Abedin at State: “Cp of Bahrain in tomorrow to Friday Asking to
see her Good friend of ours[.]”

The “Cp” refers to Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain. The Crown Prince had
established a scholarship program with the Clinton Global Initiative in
2005, and by 2010 he had contributed $32 million.

These latest emails are further evidence that Mrs. Clinton set up her
private server to prevent the public from seeing how Hillary and Bill
mixed public power with their personal financial and political ambitions
via the family foundation. When she got caught, Mrs. Clinton cherry-picked
the emails she’d turn over to State and tried to destroy the rest.
Meanwhile, everyone important in the world understood that a gift to the
Clinton Foundation was a way to influence the U.S. government.

As for Mr. Powell, the Clintons have never had any scruple about
tarnishing someone else’s reputation to protect their path to power. Maybe
they’ll make it up to him with an invitation to a State Dinner for the
Crown Prince of Bahrain.

Dial in.
Chelsea net worth estimated at $15M.
At age 36, with 2 career "public servant" parents, she's got more than the
99% that they pretend to care about.
The joke is on all of us.
What they really are is lifetime fund raisers...for them.
Why does a country, a COUNTRY need to partner with a Foundation to make a
charitable donation?
The (bad) joke is on all the Clinton supporters who are no better off than
before while the clintons are rich off the support.
And the Rs can't put a candidate up that can landslide this?
We are in a living & breathing nightmare.
Lets add competition....tryouts.
Gary Johnson for 15% and on the debate stage..then let's see how these 2
clowns react.

The fact is Hillary is known as a liar, EVERYONE knows this, yet the media
reports her comments as if they're undisputed facts. She probably should
have picked someone else to blame because I don't see Powell just sitting
idly by letting them heap blame upon his head
Honestly I'm surprised the home with the toilet server wasn't burned down
in an honest "electrical fire accident" allowing the clintons to collect
on a rarely used home insurance provision of "10 times value of house if
burned down by electrical fire"

Corrupt Hillary bells the cat. In her case the cat she picked was Citizen
General Powell.
Wrong cat Hillary. Wrong bell because the bell keeps ringing in her house
not Powell's as she planned. This all could have been a Marx Brothers skit
if it were not so serious.
Come out, come out, wherever you are Corrupt Hillary.

His Omnipotence Barack Hussein Obama, declared himself "Pooptator" of all
mentally ill homosexuals and crossdressers, while declaring where they
will defecate.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $19 trillion in the seven
years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America. The only American president to deliberately import a
lethal infectious disease from Africa, Ebola.

Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth
certificate.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his muslim goal of disarming America while ObamaCare
increases insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.
