Colin Powell Urged Hillary Clinton’s Team Not to Scapegoat Him

The Intercept: FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE Colin Powell attempted to discourage Hillary Clinton and her team from using him as a scapegoat for her private email server problems, according to newly leaked emails from Powell’s Gmail account.

“Sad thing,” Powell wrote to one confidant, “HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it.”
