1. Republican Response

That was then, this is now. Statute of limitations. War on Terror. It's okay if you're a Republican. Fighting for our freedom. Keeping us safe, except for that one time we won't mention.

3. And it was Hillary.

11. Actually, their response has been:

Crickets.

[Fla Dem]

2. We've been saying this since the beginning of the witch hunt.

There was no policy personal email account could not be used.
Previous SoS's used personal email accounts.

Ginned up "scandal" by the RW and the media.

Hillary caused everything bad!

Benghazi!

6. They should be investigated to see how classified info ended up on private accounts.

Note that you can have and use private accounts, as long as you archive them properly--you cannot hold and transmit classified material on them. That's why Ass Carter, when he revealed that he was idiot enough to continue using a private account for DoD business against policy, very quickly said "NO classified material is on the account". Because he knows that's where the law comes into force.

13. Powell came to Hillary's defense at the very beginning

He said he did it too. Months ago

[TwilightGardener]

14. No, Powell never said he transmitted or received classified info on a private account.

He said he USED a private account, which most cabinet officials have.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

17. Ah, he defended her on Benghazi but ripped her

over the email.

This guy is a really POS.

Thanks for straightening me out on that.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

19. According to Hillary, Powell did say it's an absurdity

[kentuck]

15. They changed the rules...

when Obama became President. It was not against the law when they did it...

[napkinz]

16. MSNBC covering the story right now

[bigwillq]

18. The government is so corrupt

Both parties. No wonder why the country is a mess.
