But hey, easier to change the subject than refute what a massive liar Hillary is.
Yes we've heard all the rightwing talking points concerning Hillary, For the most part unsubstantiated allegations from a desperate rightwing. In a country that highly prizes the concept of innocent till proven guilty Hillary has been convicted of no crime.
The conversation is about Mr Powell taking Hillary to task for a mixup in a few of her emails when he himself is no stranger to twisting the truth,thus the side topic of Iraq and WMD

sorry finn, but the intelligence was NOT fabricated. several intelligence agencies around the world indicated that saddam had WMDs, including the saudis and the russians.

and again clinton signed into law the iraqi freedom act, which meant that it was the duty of the US to work for freedom in iraq, thus bush was only following the laws set down by his predecessor.

It has nothing to do with the topic, which is why a Hillary hack brought it up. As usual, the fish bit.


imo, a Dem leaked this info in order to further the dual narrative of the naïve ditzy faux-blonde being led astray and the everyone did it excuse.

Powell says misleading the world with that intel was the "lowest point in his life"

Powell fell on his sword for his commander in chief like the good soldier he was. Too bad. He might have been president. I would have voted for him.

We all know Hillary broke the law. We all know Hillary lied to the American people. We all know Hillary broke the rules of the department she was in charge.

Some people are so emotionally committed to her, they have lost the ability to be rational.

Rehashing the invasion of Iraq is a nice distraction. Lol

The bold destroys the entire argument you and conservatives are putting forth. He clearly admits that he gave her advice based on what he did, he is arguing where he did i which is nitpicking
