And once again, as always seems to happen with anything Clinton (lying under oath becomes about sex) the main point about the emails has been lost.

It's not about whether or not X of them were classified or not but they were sent through an unsecured off the books private server susceptible to penetration.

Something that's missed about Powell is that, although he used a private email address, his emails went through a secure State Department server.

Deflect, deny and misdirect is always the soup du jour.

And then there's the missing 30,000 emails her lawyers deleted and were savvy enough to scrub their computers clean as a wistle. Did they have security clearences? Those emails may pop up in October----The October Surprise.

Funny how it wasn't during Bush but was when Obama threatened to go into Syria.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/obama-say...070510274.html

"Speaking to reporters Monday at the White House, Obama warned about the use or deployment of such weapons of mass destruction and said they risked widening a civil war that already has dragged on for 1½ years and killed some 20,000 people, according to activists. It is widely thought that Syria possesses extensive chemical and biological weapon stockpiles, and it has threatened to use them if the country comes under foreign attack.


"That's an issue that doesn't just concern Syria. It concerns our close allies in the region, including Israel. It concerns us," Obama said, underscoring that the U.S. wouldn't accept the threat of weapons of mass destruction from Syrian President Bashar Assad's government, rebels fighting the government, or militant groups aiding either side. "We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people.""

I was referring to post 9/11 and concerns over iraqi securing fissionable material, as in the yellow cake report, and their ties to Al-Qaeda. We wanted revenge for 9-11 and found it in Sadaam. WMDs, being atomic weapons, the issue.

Not Obama.

Who told the press that Powell had given her the advice? She mentioned it to the FBI, but who told the press?

It wasn't her.

It was the GOP "investigators" who demanded the FBI notes be turned over to them. Now they are leaking them to the press hoping for some kind of political gain.

Anyone who thought the "investigation" was going to be anything but political football was being horribly naive. They didn't even care how their info-leaks will damage one of their own (Powell).
