    If Hillary Clinton can be accused of it and she did what they did, then yep, they to should be accusable.

    Zaac, that was about the stupidest thing you've ever posted, and you know it. As I said before, you're smarter than this. At this point, you're willfully ignoring the difference between classified and unclassified.

    She didn't do what they did. Powell used his AOL account, for unclassified business. While your AOL email may be "private," it's on AOL's servers.

    She had her own email server set up in her own house, and didn't distinguish between classified or unclassified business.

    Your continued defense of Hillary on this subject is what keeps this alive--especially when it's so painfully obvious you don't know what you're talking about.

    You seem to be having a problem grasping the fact that she did not do what they did. She illegally transmitted classified information over a non-secure network. They didn't. Got it now?

    You seem to not grasp that I spoke about the conversation and not what they did. You're the one talking about what they did. Got that now?

    So, when you said "she did what they did" you were not telling the truth?

    FBI already stated she handled classified information on her personal email server (not just a personal email account, like Powell; but a computer set up to specifically process and store her personal email).

    So far, there's NO evidence that Powell handled classified infirmation through his personal AOL email account.

    She can be criminally accused. There's nothing to criminally accuse Powell of.

    Zaac continues to attempt misdirection.

    No, I am accusing you of being deliberately deceptive.

    But it is interesting that, if he did the same thing she did that constitutes a criminal act, you are admitting she committed a criminal act.

    This just keeps getting better and better! LOL! :D:D

    The question isn't did Mr. Powell use a non-government email service. The question is "Did he transmit classified material through it?" So far from what I've read he didn't do the later. And that is the difference between the two.

    Also General Powell's server was AOL, which can be accessed with a court order or with his permission.

    Clinton's server was their own, located in their own home, and to which her "IT" guy took a hammer and blow torch to destroy the evidence.

    To say "she did what they did" is a blatent untruth.

    Just read what General Powell said about the Clinton campaign trying to drag him into the issue.

    You should be accusing yourself of being deliberately dense.

    Yeah, you got a comprehension problem.
    If getting better and better means your comprehension keeps getting worse and worse, then you go with that.

    THAT was NOT the question. That's what yall want the question to be. She clearly stated that she and Colin Powell had conversations about her using a private email server and why she should.

    He said he didn't recall any such conversations.

    I said that the email proves she was correct and that the conversations did take place.

    Seriously, I don't think this is Zaac. The constant attempts to re-frame the discussion are a tactic of his; but he's usually more on-the-ball with his logic. Considering that he himself has reframed the discussion throughout this thread to several different points, including the classified information distinction, and each one has been successfully debunked, this is merely a tactic to attempt to "win" this discussion.

    Colin Powell never said he didn't have the discussion; he denies knowledge of the conversation. The same as you or I saying, "I don't remember exactly what I said at a party in 2009." 7 years ago. He fully admits he sent her an email, a year after she was already using her personal email server, outlining how he used his personal AOL email account (not a personal email server) for unclassified information.

    Subsequent reports have shown that some of the information Powell discussed in those emails has been retro-actively upgraded to classified. What does that mean? At the time he sent them, they were NOT classified, and he can't be found guilty of wrong-doing. Ms. Clinton, on the other hand, sent information that was clearly marked in original documents as classified, meaning she concocted the emails without adding the required classification from the original source.

    It's really simple to add those classifications, by the way. You add (U) to identify unclassified; (FOUO) for "For Official Use Only"; (S) for Secret; (NOFORN) for "No Foreign"; etc.

    The point of this thread was to show that Ms. Clinton's actions weren't that serious; that others did it, too. That has been fully debunked several times over. Although the originator of the thread has stated he's not voting for Ms. Clinton, he keeps defending her for reasons unknown.
