Colin Powell suddenly forgets a conversation he remembered quite well back in June

Never a truer word was said, I don't know how anyone can castigate Breitbart and then use such hack sites as those two.

That's not my point retard, I'm saying that Breitbart is no better or worse than the Daily Kos or Media Matters. They are all heavily biased towards a particular political viewpoint. Are you extremely dim or just playing mindfuck?

The OP cites Newsweek and the New York Times as sources.

SORRY...there goes your little "media matters" distraction.

So what. Breibart quotes mainstream sources as well. You think that makes them legitimate? You're free to use those sources for your information just don't try to pass them off as legitimate.

They weren't talking about the private server. Powell suggested she follow his lead and "use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications."

She was 100% wrong and stupid to do what she did but Powell needs to man up to the conversation too.

OMG give me a fucking break. Hillary knowingly ignored the rules. You are really naive if you think she wasn't aware. It's really funny that you tout her incompetence as the exonerating circumstance. She just didn't know any better! LOL
 
Politifact seems to think that there is very little comparison between Powell and Clinton.

Our ruling

Clinton said, regarding her State Department email practices, "my predecessors did the same thing."

This is a misleading claim chiefly because only one prior secretary of state regularly used email, Colin Powell. Powell did use a personal email address for government business, however he did not use a private server kept at his home, as Clinton did.

We rate this claim Mostly False.

Colin Powell — no doubt after he got serious heat from his fellow Republicans — currently claims not to remember a certain dinner conversation from 2009 wherein he advised Hillary Clinton, who had a few months earlier taken over the position he once held as secretary of state, to use a private email account just like he did.
He says that he doesn’t remember it now, but he sure did two months ago:

But last June, while reporting on Powell’s advice to Clinton for my book, I contacted his office for comment—and got a very different answer.
His principal assistant, Margaret “Peggy” Cifrino, informed me then via email that their calendar showed that the Albright dinner had occurred in June 2009. While he didn’t recall some details of the dinner because it had occurred seven years ago, according to Cifrino, he remembered what he did and didn’t say to Clinton on the topic in question that evening:

He does recall sharing with Secretary Clinton his use of his email account and how useful it was and transformative for the Department. He knew nothing then or until recently about her private home server and a personal domain, nor, therefore, could he have advised her on that or suggested it. By June I would assume her email system was already set up.
​

So it is perplexing for him to say he doesn’t remember that dinner conversation at all now, since, according to his own assistant, he remembered at least some of what he said as recently as two months ago.

UPDATE: More from the dinner conversation Colin now says he doesn’t remember:

In Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton, to be published in September by Simon & Schuster, I report on a dinner party that former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright hosted for Hillary Clinton several months after she assumed that office in 2009, with Powell in attendance:

Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel [to Clinton].... Powell suggested that she use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer on his desk. Saying that his use of personal email had been transformative for the department, Powell thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier.

Colin Powell voted for your guy, Barack Obama. He's one of you now, so you might want to take aim somewhere else. ;)

WTH are you talking about? This isn't an exoneration of Hillary, it's about showing the lie from Powell when his name was brought up re: the use of email.

How many more ways can I say she was wrong before you clowns stop the BS already. What Powell and Rice did was tangential to the issue but it was factual.

I'm sorry Christie but this is the sort wag the dog partisan crap I could care less about. Virtually every objective observer understands the email fiasco is primarily another partisan witch hunt.

No Mott, that's not even close to being true. Not even close.
 
I love it. The FBI investigates -she's shown to have met the standard of "gross negligence" ( extreme carelessness is the same)
yet because of intent she doesn't get indicted.

And the whole thing is blown off as a "partisan witch hunt"..lol..

I gotta admit Clinton supporters are dogged in their denials

It is just mindboggling how she got away with that.
