Didn’t she just throw Powell under the bus in a desperate bid to pin the blame for her private email server on him?

Via Daily Beast:

Colin Powell apparently doesn’t hold a grudge.

The Bush-era Secretary of State said Tuesday afternoon that he would be voting for Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that she had tried to use him as an excuse for setting up her infamous private email server.

At a luncheon in Long Island, Powell gave an unreserved endorsement to his fellow former top diplomat, according to Newsday reporter Robert Brodsky, saying that she would serve with distinction and has the experience to be president. Powell added that Trump, on the other hand, is “selling people a bill of goods,” is not qualified, and “insults us every day.”

He could be forgiven if there had been some hard feelings. Facing an email scandal that threatened her campaign for the White House, Clinton had thrown Powell under the bus, telling the F.B.I. that Powell’s had told her to use a personal email account. […]

But this cycle, he has resisted declaring his support for either candidate, instead chiding Trump as a “national disgrace.”

In hacked emails, released to the public last month, Powell was also seen bashing Clinton, of whom he said: “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” He savaged her as “greedy, not transformational,” and added: “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect.”

But at the Long Island Association fall luncheon on Tuesday, all this private sentiment melted away into what Brodsky called a “full throated” public endorsement — just the latest twist in a campaign full of them.
