What FACTS do you dispute? n/t Skwmom Mar 2016 #4

Powell did not use a private server. Skwmom Mar 2016 #7

Ahhh-had not heard the clarification fredamae Mar 2016 #11

The pundits and the Hillary campaign have not exactly been precise about this. merrily Mar 2016 #13

Here is what Powell did. Skwmom Mar 2016 #57

My understanding is that the State Dept server was notoriously unreliable. yardwork Mar 2016 #8

Who determined that and how? merrily Mar 2016 #10

No idea. I just shared what I'd read. yardwork Mar 2016 #12

You shared a strong statement as your own "understanding." merrily Mar 2016 #14

Mother Jones magazine, Rachel Maddow, numerous sources yardwork Mar 2016 #23

Yet, you missed very basic facts to support the claim? Powell did NOT use a private server, either. merrily Mar 2016 #25

I've seen that reported over and over. I trust Mother Jones. yardwork Mar 2016 #27

LINK, please, bearing in mind a private email account is different from a private server. Thanks. merrily Mar 2016 #29

Colin Powell did NOT use a private server. Skwmom Mar 2016 #37

Powell did NOT use a private server. I saw him interviewed on this on TV. merrily Mar 2016 #42

Hillary inherited a woefully inadequate but greatly improved network at the State. NWCorona Mar 2016 #43

You will soon be be "schooled" on how the Clintons have been persecuted so much they merrily Mar 2016 #9

And the man who set up the server just took a criminal immunity deal to talk elehhhhna Mar 2016 #15

They have a history of not always meaning much. Marcia Goodling is an example. merrily Mar 2016 #18

I agree that the immunity deal might not mean much. n/t Skwmom Mar 2016 #39

Sometimes the truth does come out. 840high Mar 2016 #50

Under those circumstances? Rarely. Then again, you rarely have this kind of situation. merrily Mar 2016 #55

Clearly. The Clintons are not victims as they like to claim. (nt) CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #19

They are their own worst enemies. (Oh, I forgot to cite the guy who stole only copies. merrily Mar 2016 #20

I read the FBI recovered stuff that was thought to be deleted. n/t Skwmom Mar 2016 #40

If we ignore this until the general election we might have a very big October surprise. Vinca Mar 2016 #17

Colin Powell used a private server when was Secretary of State. yardwork Mar 2016 #24

Nope. See Replies 7, 13 and 23. Thanks. merrily Mar 2016 #26

Your post 13 confirms that he did! yardwork Mar 2016 #28

WTF? No, it doesn't. For the 3rd time, a private email account is not a private server. merrily Mar 2016 #30

Nowhere in post 13 is that claim made. arcane1 Mar 2016 #31

To the contrary, one of the posts to which I referred yardwork, and one of my posts *to* yardwork merrily Mar 2016 #32

Exactly. And ALL of DU thought it was shady that the Bush team was using private accounts. arcane1 Mar 2016 #35

Too lazy to worry with secure computer protocols. nt ladjf Mar 2016 #36

I doubt it. Calculation seems a lot more likely. merrily Mar 2016 #46

I agree. I was actually sort of joking about the lazy aspect. nt ladjf Mar 2016 #48
