Hillary Clinton or Colin Powell, Who Do YOU Believe?

I don't understand what the controversy is. Clinton said Powell gave her that advice. She never said when. Powell admitted giving that advice, just not before she started using her private server.

So... what's the controversy here?

Right, since they are both saying the same thing, it does not make sense to ask "Who do you believe, Powell OR Clinton".

The controversy, which anyone with a brain including Colin Powell understands, is that Hillary is trying to defend her conduct by setting up an equivalency between what Powell did and what she did. She further tries to defend herself by stating that he told her to use private e-mail.

The point that Hillary and her shills deliberately miss is that the situations are not congruent by any stretch of the imagination because 1) Powell NEVER set up his own server (and never advised her to do that); 2) he never told her to use exclusively private email for State Department business; and 3) whatever was said between the two about the use of private e-mail occurred a year AFTER Hillary's bathroom server was up and running.

So, keep defending the indefensible.

No, they aren't "saying the same thing."

Or did I miss Clinton's statement in which she spells out that what she did is completely different than what Colin Powell did, and that Colin Powell nor anyone else has ever set up a private server in their bathroom to evade government oversight?

Please provide a link to Clinton's statement that makes it clear that she agrees Colin Powell's conduct as SOS was nothing like hers with regard to handling classified information.

Can you quote Clinton's exact words, so we can get to the bottom of it.

Sure, after you post Hillary's quote that spells out the lack of any similarity between how Colin Powell handled classified information and how she handled it.

How about you provide the quotes since you are the one insisting she said something about when the advice was given.

I am under the impression she has not made any statements about this publicly, and the whole story is pulled from someone else's book, and the only thing which is mentioned is the conversation between Powell, Albright and Clinton, where Albright asked Powell to give some advice to Hillary regarding the use of emails, and he did. It doe not say when the advice was given.

I do not entertain straw man arguments. You are trying to deflect.

So, do you have the quotes or not?

Now with the addition of Hillary doing the pay to play as SOS, why raise even a question or poll? Just stamp CROOK on her head because it is undebatable.
