Clinton’s pathetic ‘Colin Powell made me do it’ defense

The influence that Colin Powell has over Hillary Clinton is something to behold.

His word is her command. When he tells her to break the law and endanger the nation’s secrets, she doesn’t hesitate. She salutes smartly and does as she is told.

Clinton has been desperate for the moral cover of Colin Powell for her email arrangement since the scandal first broke last year. Now we’ve learned that Clinton told the FBI that Powell advised her to use private email as secretary of state at a dinner in 2009. This escalates Clinton’s email defense from, “Hey, Colin Powell did it, too,” all the way to, “Colin Powell made me do it.”
The Powell defense has given Clinton shills something to say on TV, but doesn’t make much sense.

Sounds a little like the Cruz explanations of incidents. It is someone else that did it.

This is what notorious liars do. Blame others for their wrongdoings when they get caught. Pathetic!
