| Powell: Say, this Iran deal looks pretty good to me. . .
Drivel from Powell shilling for Obama and the Iran deal ommitted.
. . . Todd also asked Powell how he handled e-mails as Secretary of State. Powell served from 2001-5, well before Hillary Clinton’s tenure. Powell pitched his book, which details how he tried to reform the internal communications of State, including the use of e-mail that “gave them access to the whole world.” Nonetheless, Powell had two computers on his desk — one for secure transmissions, and the other for personal and light-task work e-mails: | What I had to do is bring the State Department to the 21st century. And the way of doing that was getting new computers. That gave them access to the whole world. And then in order to make sure I changed the brainware of the department, and not just the software and hardware, I started to use email. I had two machines on my desk. I had a secure State Department machine, which I used for secure material, and I had a laptop that I could use for email. And I would email relatives, friends, but I would also email in the department. But it was mostly housekeeping stuff. “What’s the status in this paper? What’s going on here?” So I used my own classified system, but I had a classified system also on my desk. |
In other words, Powell conducted sensitive business in the proper manner. It’s an easy bet that his unclassified personal e-mail didn’t route through a server in his house, either. Powell declined to comment directly on Hillary’s e-mail practices, saying that the IGs and the FBI knew more about that than he did, but this puts a stake through the Team Hillary claims that Powell did exactly what Hillary did with e-mail. |
Poster Comment:
So much for Hitlery's "my predecessors did the same things I did". Powell certainly did not do the same things.
