You keep saying Powell "did the same exact thing" -- but that's undeniably false. Powell used his personal AOL account from time to time when the official .gov mail servers were down. Clinton setup a private email server. Totally different things.

- GVIrish 10y agoUsed personal email for public business. Ended up with some classified emails on his personal account. Same thing. If you want to get very specific, yes, Colin Powell wasn't using colin@colinpowell.com as his email. But the issue is the same, although as I said, his reason for doing was different.
