Former Sec. of State Colin Powell is standing with Hillary Clinton after the State Department retroactively classified some of his emails and is refusing to release them to the public.

Powell reacted to an NBC News report that the State Department is retroactively classifying his emails by calling for all of his emails to be released.

Powell said (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rice-aides-powell-also-got-classified-info-personal-emails-n511181), “I wish they would release them, so that a normal, air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, ‘What’s the issue?’ They were unclassified at the time, and they are, in my judgment, still unclassified.”

Clinton campaign manager John Podesta said in a statement, “This announcement about Secretary Powell’s emails shows just how routine it is for government bureaucrats to go overboard when it comes to judging whether information is too sensitive for the public to see. Hillary Clinton agrees with her predecessor that his emails, like hers, are being inappropriately subjected to over-classification. She joins his call for these emails to be released so that the public can view the contents for itself.”

The State Department’s bureaucratic retroactive classification of emails has gone beyond the bounds of common sense. Republicans love to use the reclassification of the emails as circumstantial proof that Clinton must have done something wrong.

Now that the State Department is classifying emails from the Bush administration, Republicans are in a bind. The idea that Clinton did something wrong has been dealt a death blow. Republicans will use their favorite tactic of ignoring the Powell and Rice emails while talking about Clinton, but the idea that Hillary Clinton was illegally leaking classified information has been wounded now that the former Republican administration is also under scrutiny.

The Republican presidential candidates have been using the idea of Hillary Clinton ending up in jail as an applause line, but if Clinton should go to jail for her emails, Colin Powell and Condi Rice should be sharing a cell with her.

Republicans believe that the emails are their best chance of beating Clinton, but the scandal that they are hanging their hat on just went up in smoke.

The Government server would be much more secure than a PRIVATE server and the reason ALL Government employees are supposed to use them is so that their communications are part of the public record in the interest of transparency and archiving.

You don't get to "decide" what laws you CHOOSE to abide by just because your name is Clinton and there are millions of morons out there willing to defend your illegal and irresponsible actions.

Yep, the government databases are attacked every day and twice on Sunday.

A private server with adequate firewall protection is probably about 1% as likely to be hacked.

Oh and BTW Call when their private secret server is discovered.

Of course the fact that others have violated a law does not make other violations hunky-dory.

The case with Hillary has NOTHING to do with retroactive classification. Hers is a case of handling the information that she should have been aware of its sensitive nature on.....wait for it.....her illegal use of a PRIVATE server.

But I'm thrilled to see the media going after a black Obama supporter to defend the shenanigans of Hillary's criminal acts. Colin is getting a taste of the Fascisim that defines the liberal mindset and their willingness to run over anyone who gets in the way of their agenda.

The discovery of her Email account came about as a result of the investigation into her incompetence and attempted cover up of the Benghazi incident. Its existence wasn't even known to investigators before that.
