#1 This makes the 'Valorie Plame affair' which everyone and the media were so upset about look like a recipe-exchange down at the Senior Center.

Yet the media hardly mentions this and when they do its with that 'those mean ole republicans are beating up on grandma again' attitude.

#2 Colin Powell's e-mails were routed through a U.S. Government server and posted on a U.S. Government owned computer installed in a U.S. Government office. The entire system was monitored 24 hours a day by the U.S. Federal Government Security System.
None of that can be said about Hillary Clinton's privately owned home-brew system.

If classified e-mail content, of any security level, leaked through the security system and was posted on either Colin Powell's (or his, or Condoleezza Rice's aides) computers it is first and foremost the fault and failure of the U.S. Government.

Democrats, such as Elijah Cummings in his incessant rants before the House Oversight Committee, would like you to believe that Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice are responsible for the crimes of Hillary Clinton.
It is of course completely ridiculous to think that Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice could or would coerce or compel Hillary Clinton to comit her own crimes.

Any and all persons with a security clearance, regardless of their position or rank, who failed to recognize and report any compromise of the security system DESERVES to be investigated and prosecuted according to the "severity" of their failure or crimes.

#3 Supported by huge sums of money, these people enjoy cult status. There is no crime so heinous that it would result in the turning away of their dedicated followers and believers.

#4 OP's comment from yesterday captures the bottom line:

#14 I can see going back into legacy material to see if anything else was sabotaged. Colin Powell may never have known that the emails sent to him contained classified material, since they WERE sent to him. It depends on who sent them, when, and why. If some of Ms. Rice's senior aides had received classified emails and KNEW they were classified, there was a problem. Several big differences between this and Hillary: Neither Powell nor Rice created an exclusively non-governmental server, and did all their business through it. There is (yet) no evidence that any of either of them routinely received classified material on their personal accounts. Neither of them tried to HIDE their personal email account. And (so far) TOP SECRET Codeword material hasn't been discovered, as it was on Hitlery's account. If Hillary doesn't burn, you can put a fork in the United States -- it's dead.
