‘No!’: Anchor Chris Wallace Fiercely Pushes Back Against Democrat’s Clinton Email Cla

The state department watchdog found that both Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, America’s top diplomats under president George W Bush, were sent sensitive national security information to nongovernment email addresses.

Steve Linick, the inspector general for the state department, wrote in a memo that two emails sent to Powell and 10 emails sent to Rice’s staff contained classified national security information.

In late December, he said, the state department told Linick’s office that 12 out of 19 documents under review “contain national security information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels based on a review by nine department bureaus and office”.

Powell rejected the inspector general’s findings and called for the emails to be released. He told NBC News: “I wish they would release them, so that a normal, air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, ‘What’s the issue?’”

The former secretary of state explained in a statement that they were forwarded messages that two American ambassadors sent to state department staff. “My executive assistant thought I should see them in a timely manner so sent them to my personal account,” he said.

He said that while the department now has said they are “confidential” – a low level of classification – both messages were unclassified at the time and there was no reason not to forward them to his personal account. “I have reviewed the messages and I do not see what makes them classified,” Powell added. “The ambassadors did not believe the contents were confidential at the time and they were sent as unclassified.”

Powell has previously said the state department was technologically backward when he joined in 2001 and that he had to fight to get an internet-connected computer installed in his office, from which he continued to use his personal email account.

Just because Powell isn't running for president, doesn't make it any different than what Shrill did.

But don't be under the delusion that I'm a Shrillary supporter....I just don't like the hypocrisy of the cons either.

 

Hillary lied, the truth died.

 

Skirting the issue. You fail to mention the fact that Powell nor Rice had private computer servers that they exclusively used throughout their tenure as Sec. of State. Nowhere did they send or receive the amount of emails as Hillary did through private servers.

 

Take a reading comprehension class.

 

Even employee's who work for companies who are contracted by government have to get security clearances. If they did anything near what Hillary did they would immediately, lose their security clearance and be fired.

These are people that don't have a clearance level that Hillary has.

Create a Standard Information Technology Infrastructure Platform
Consolidating and standardizing the IT infrastructure is essential to increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and speed of the Department of State’s operational and diplomatic capabilities. Therefore, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) should lead an IT transformation effort to consolidate the Department of State’s and USAID’s technology infrastructure by creating common core platforms and solutions across the organizations. The current fragmentation of infrastructure represents a tremendous obstacle to information sharing, interoperability of systems, and cost efficiency. Although improvements in the global IT infrastructure have been made in recent years, it is now time to make the budgetary and organizational commitment to major transformation and consolidation.

It appears that Colin Powell was correct at the time, both he and his successor Condoleezza Rice updated and improved the State Dept. IT technologies in advance of Hillary's appointment as Sec. of State in 2009. By the time Hillary was appointed personal email communications use in the State Dept. was no longer protocol or recommended.
