Leaked Colin Powell emails show loathing for Trump
LEAKED emails from former US Secretary of State Colin Powell reveal Hillary Clinton’s reaction to losing the 2008 presidential nomination to Barack Obama.
According to NBC News, Powell on Wednesday confirmed to the TV network that the emails were authentic, adding that “the hackers have a lot more”.
“He is at 1% black voters and will drop”, Powell wrote, citing the birther campaign Trump ran as a major reason.
“I asked him about it, and he said you can’t trace these emails”, Bolton continued. “Muslims are born as Americans everyday”.
Powell also criticizes the Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, accusing her of “greed” and “hubris” but saying he still regards her as a friend.
The White House so far has refrained from publicly blaming the attacks on Russian Federation. Some committee documents were leaked in July.
In another message, Mr. Powell said that Mr. Trump was responsible for a “racist” effort to show that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father, but a popular conspiracy theory stoked in part by Mr. Trump asserted he was born overseas and could be ineligible for the presidency. “There is nothing he can say that will sway black voters”, he wrote. He takes us for idiots. He can never overcome what he tried to do to Obama with his search for the birth certificate.the whole birther movement was racist. “Or, demanding his school transcripts to see how he got into Harvard-(eg, affirmative action)”. “But in 2014, he wrote, “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect,” Vega read, “He says Clinton has “Unbridled ambition” and calls her “Greedy, not transformational”.
In May, Powell messaged with a former colleague as the State Department’s inspector general prepared to release a report critical of both his and Clinton’s use of private email to conduct government business.
“Everything [she] touches she kind of screws up with hubris”, Mr. Powell wrote in another email to Mr. Leeds in 2015.
The e-mails were posted on the website DCLeaks.com, which has been accused of being an outlet for Russian hackers.
After it was reported that Clinton had told FBI investigators that Powell had advised her to use a personal address, he lamented that what he called her “minions” were “making a mistake trying to drag me in”.
Powell has said the administration of George W. Bush made “terrible strategic mistakes” during the Iraq War.
“Sad thing… HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me into it”, Powell wrote in one email last month. “Trump folks having fun with her”. Her campaign later acknowledged that Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.
