Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!
It doesn't matter even if Powell personally set up her private account. Powell was in until 2005, and even then he said he used private email for stuff but used his .gov for all classified communication. Mrs. Clinton never used the .gov for anything at all beyond, I believe, her staff maintaining some sort of calendar on the gov system.
Not surprisingly, by 2010 the rules were completely different. Regardless if Mrs. Clinton claims she knew them or not, she did sign off on them and personally attend mandatory security meetings on the subject. We know she at least had access to several warnings issued by security about officials not using private email because, somewhat ironically, she received them in her private email.
This Powell business is a bit like A-rod claiming he used steroids in 2010 because Jose Conseco told him they weren't against the rules when he played. She has said herself countless times it was a mistake. Ok, fine. This maybe a reasonably good political ruse to try to mitigate damage, but it cannot amount to anything more than that.
