Clinton told FBI Colin Powell suggested she use private email: NYT
2016-08-19
[Reuters] Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Hillary Clinton told federal investigators that former Secretary of State Colin Powell suggested she use a personal email account, the New York Times reported late on Thursday.

Clinton has for over a year been dogged by questions about her use of a private email account while she was the nation's top diplomat.

The newspaper said the information came from notes the Federal Bureau of Investigation delivered to Congress on Tuesday, which contained details from a more than three hour interview the agency conducted with Clinton over her private email use.

The Times also cited an upcoming book that described a dinner conversation where Powell told Clinton to use her own email except for classified information. The newspaper also reported that Clinton asked Powell in a 2009 email exchange about his use of email while serving under former president George W. Bush.

Just for the record (emphasis added): The Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (abbreviated as "NIPRNet," but commonly written "NIPRNET"), is a private IP network used to exchange unclassified information, including information subject to controls on distribution, among the private network's users. The NIPRNet also provides its users access to the Internet. NIPRNet is composed of Internet Protocol routers owned by the United States Department of Defense (DOD). It was created in the 1980s and managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to supersede the earlier MILNET. NIPRNET is the largest private network in the world. Wiki

#6  Powell had used an aol address for personal business so it was kept separate but that is NOT the same as using a private server.

#5  I'm sure he told her that bathrooms in Colorado where nice locations to set up your own server as well.

If I were Powell I'd double my secret service detail before an accident happens preventing him from correcting the record again.

#2  And if Colin Powell told you to jump off a cliff?

#1  And you, New York Times reporter, believed her. If so you are a complete sap and sucker. Turn in your press credentials and be on your way.
