Server, Leaked Emails Reveal

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell attempted to discourage Hillary Clinton
and her team from using him as a scapegoat for her private email server
problems, according to newly leaked emails from Powell’s Gmail account.
“Sad thing,” Powell wrote to one confidant, “HRC could have killed this two
years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me
to it.”
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini
tantrum at a Hampton’s [sic] party to get their attention. She keeps tripping
into these ‘character’ minefields,” Powell lamented. He noted that he had tried
to settle the matter by meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.
Powell’s private messages were leaked by DCLeaks.com, an anonymously managed
website that shares hacked emails from U.S. military and political figures.
DCLeaks has a relationship with Guccifer 2.0, a hacker that many allege to have
ties with Russian intelligence. DCLeaks provided access to Powell’s emails to a
number of reporters on Tuesday.
The emails show Powell regularly corresponding with reporters and friends about
the Clinton email server scandal, explaining that his situation was different.
When Powell arrived at the State Department, the information technology system
was badly dated, he argued. And unlike Clinton, Powell never set up a private
server. Instead, he used his personal AOL account, on a server maintained by
AOL, and used a government computer for classified communications.
“It is no secret that I used a [sic] unclassified personal email account in
addition to my classified State computer,’” Powell wrote to the New York
Times’s Amy Chozick. He implored the dozens of reporters and producers who
emailed him to read his book, “It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership,” in
which he devoted an entire chapter to his efforts to revamp the State
Department’s IT system.
The Clinton campaign’s effort to blur the lines between Clinton’s private email
server and Powell’s AOL account left Powell deeply frustrated.
“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with
friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,”
Powell wrote last year to his business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the
stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches
she kind of screws up with hubris.”
Powell added in a tangential complaint: “I told you about the gig I lost at a
University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t
any [sic] fees for awhile. I should send her a bill.”
Clinton sought Powell’s advice at a dinner on June 16, 2009, at former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s house, according to the emails. Powell
gave Clinton “written guidance on why and how [he] had been doing it.” Also in
attendance were former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice, Lawrence
Eagleburger, George Schultz, Warren Christopher, James Baker, and Henry
Kissinger.
“Dumb. She should have done a ‘Full Monty’ at the beginning,” Powell wrote. He
added: “I warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to
connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on
in the basement.”
