So, Is Colin Powell Lying

When he says Hillary Clinton's entire story about him is a lie?

“Her people have been trying to pin it on me,” Powell, who was secretary of State under President George W. Bush, told People at an event in the Hamptons this weekend. “The truth is she was using [her email setup] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”

That statement is almost certainly true. That doesn't mean that Clinton didn't know about Powell's use of private email, and use it as part of her justification, long before he sent the memo. The career staff at State would have known all about it.

Do you think that the difference between Powell's use of private email for non-classified information and Hillary's use of a personally controlled private server is insignificant?

Given the sequence of events I'd ssay he is confused to be polite. A dinner where the idea came up was quite certainly at the start of her tenure, as to welcome he to the "diplomatic community". If he contacted her later about it,

Face it, a multicourse meal with multiple glasses of wine (Powell is a wine lover) people say things they then forget at these things. I doubt anything malicious was intended.

It's not insignificant. Clinton's email account on a private server was probably more secure than Powell's AOL account.

Which doesn't mean she should have done it. But you asked.

Nobody is contending Powell sent classified material on his AOL account. But Hillary had classified material on her private server. Is that an unimportant difference?

No, but that's not the question you asked.

It would have been equally inappropriate to send classified material to an AOL account.

Where did that conclusion come from?

I do think Hillary Clinton is being honest about the server. It was not illegal at the time. THAT FIRST AND FOREMOST HAS TO BE DRILLED INTO A LOT OF MINDS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.

Colin Powell is not a drunk. Lots f non drunks do drink wine at dinner parties nevertheless. Yes, I think he is making far more of this than it was ever meant to be. So is much of the rest of the country. A not terribly bright idea has already been made illegal. That should be the end of it. Time to move forward, not in reverse.

Wrong.

From Factcheck.org:

At a March 10 press conference, Clinton addressed her unusual email arrangement. Her office at the time said that on Dec. 5, 2014, it gave the State Department 30,490 printed copies of work-related emails. Clinton said none of them contained classified information.

Clinton, March 10, 2015: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So I’m certainly well-aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.

On the same day, her office released a Q&A that said a “separate, closed email system was used by the State Department for the sole purpose of handling classified communications which was designed to prevent such information from being transmitted anywhere other than within that system.”

But about four months later, the inspectors general of the State Department and the Intelligence Community reviewed 40 of Clinton’s emails and found that four did contain classified information, referring the case to the FBI for what they called an investigation into the “potential compromise of classified information.” The inspectors general said the four emails “did not contain classification markings.”

After the inspectors general reported its findings, Clinton and her campaign amended their public statements to say that she did not send or receive information that was marked classified. But that has turned out to be false, too.
