"Before the current regulations went into effect, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, who served from 2001" to 2005, used personal email to communicate with American officials and ambassadors and foreign leaders."
So no, Powell did not break the law.
Hillary Clinton knew the law and broke it.
Also, Condaleeza Rice followed the new law - so you are incorrect that "All the previous Secretaries of State" ignored the law.
What Hillary did was not as bad as ISIS, but it is alarming to me, how many people are fine with breaking of laws/lies to the American public/serious flip flops/etc, simply because the poor act is done by their "team" or political party. Our country is headed for a downfall if we don't stop being such sheep excusing failure for political gain.
Agreed. What Powell did was legal, what Hillary did was illegal. Big difference right there.
More Republican crap. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, even Colin Powell when he was Sec of State, all did the same thing.
This is what happens when you have no desirable policy to run on, no history of success, no viable presidential candidates, and are facing annihilation.
She was definitely against it before she was for it.
Very hypocritical to make those comments and then have a private server. Her emails still need to be screened for release under a FOIA regardless of the source but allowing review of a private emails makes it more difficult. She criticized the Bush Admin for private emails and lack of transparency, this does not give us any faith that we are on the right track.
So now it's a 2005 State Department rule, not a law. Both Rice and Clinton reportedly violated the rule. No one cares about Rice because she is not running for POTUS.
Why not just turn over the server?
News is also reporting Jeb Bush used his personal email address while governor.
