Political corruption does not find its domain within the confines of just one political party. While I believe we can argue conclusively that the Clintons have taken the practice to new levels, they’ve got company in other places. This time it’s retired General Powell who has been caught in the net, accused of helping Hillary bypass State Department security regulations.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell sent Hillary Clinton a detailed explanation of how he got around some of the State Department’s security measures in a 2009 email that has become wrapped up in the investigation of Clinton’s use of private email server while leading State.
What were some of his hot tips for Hillary? Powell is quoted as saying,
“What I did do was have a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.),” Powell wrote. “So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers.”
“I even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department on their personal email accounts. I did the same thing on the road in hotels,” he said.
What about Hillary’s infamous Blackberry? Turns out Powell had some help for her with that, too.
But he warned Clinton “there is a real danger” in using a BlackBerry.
“If it is public that you have a BlackBerry and it it [sic] government and you are using it, government or not, to do business, it may become an official record and subject to the law,” he wrote.
“Be very careful,” he added. “I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data.”
So we have one more player, a decorated, four-star general, conspiring with the Queen of Corruption to skirt State Department security regulations. Hillary will probably spin the story in an attempt to show that she has done nothing that other secretaries of state haven’t done. Instead, maybe some of those stars need to come off of Powell’s uniform.
It’s so comforting to see that we have a bi-partisan approach to corruption.

Isnt she old enough to know it was illegal?
So who is the next one to blame.
If you read the email it says that he encouraged Hillary to open up a private server for her private emails
No one could make her do anything. Don’t blame your bad decisions on someone else.
