Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell is not happy with Hillary Clinton for dragging him into her email server scandal.
In emails leaked by DC Leaks, a group affiliated with hacker Guccifer 2.0, Powell told friends he was concerned that Clinton would throw him under the bus after he advised her about using emails.
In an email to a confidant, Powell said he begged Clinton’s campaign staff not to make him their “scapegoat for her private email server problems”.
“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s [sic] party to get their attention,” he wrote in a leaked email.
“It is no secret that I used a unclassified personal email account in addition to my classified State computer,” Powell wrote to the New York Times’s Amy Chozick.
But he added that he never ran a private email server and he never sent classified emails on his public AOL account.
“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules,” he wrote angrily. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”
“I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect,” Powell told Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds in one of the leaked emails.
But in another email Powell said Hillary Clinton hates President Obama for “kicking her ass in 2008″.
Powell described Hillary as “a 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still d_cking bimbos at home.”.
He also groused about Hillary’s money-grubbing habits ruining one of his speaking engagements.
“I told you about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t [afford] any fees for awhile. I should send her a bill,” he wrote.
