I don't actually have any outrage at Powell or Clinton. This is exactly what I expect from our elite, so I'm neither surprised nor outraged. I'm simply not willing to pretend that she did this for any reason other than absolute control over what is released. If Powell hosted his own server, I'm sure it was for the same reasons. If Powell used a commercial service (which seems to me to be a monumentally bad idea), then I'm willing to entertain other explanations and evaluate them as to perceived likelihood.

Of course it was to keep what they wanted to release private and it's bad governance both times. I just find your attempts to paint Clinton as somehow special for doing this amusing.

Did Powell refuse to hand over his server when asked for it?
Did Powell delete (I'm sorry, "not keep") emails when asked for them?
Did Powell refuse to let an independent 3rd party examine his server?

Powell is such a jackass. I think he should just quit public office altogether!

All your questions were answered in my post. I assume your failure to read it was because you don't want to know the truth.

I fully expect you to deflect and ignore this, new to you, revelation.

When asked about his emails Powell said he had deleted them, so basically yes to all your questions.

Are we doing the time warp or is it just Tapatalk that has these posts out of order?

Well, the delusional find all sort of things amusing. The non-delusional might find a different sort of truth here.

No I actually do want to know.

Did I miss the explanation of what stopped MSNBC or CNN or other liberal media sources from reporting this story (since it was conveniently forgotten per the OP???
