Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, has released an email exchange between Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton:
House Democrats late Wednesday released a full email exchange in which Colin Powell advised Hillary Clinton just after she was sworn in as secretary of state on the use of personal email and devices.
Powell writes:
“What I did do was have a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.) So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers,” Powell wrote. “I even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department on their personal email accounts. I did the same thing on the road in hotels.”
He goes on:
“Be very careful,” he added. “I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data.”
