a top confidant to hillary clinton campaign chair john podesta suggested the person who told the former secretary of state she could use a private email should be <u+201c>drawn and quartered,<u+201d> according to a leaked email chain. 




<u+201c>do we actually know who told hillary she could use a private email?<u+201d> neera tanden, of the center for american progress, asked podesta in a july 2015 email . the email was one of thousands released by wikileaks from podesta<u+2019>s hacked gmail account. 




<u+201c>and has that person been drawn and quartered?<u+201d> tanden added. <u+201c>like whole thing is f*cking insane.<u+201d> 




clinton has said former secretary of state colin powell suggested she use a private email, just as he did, while serving as the u.s.<u+2019>s top diplomat. clinton also said she used a private email server for <u+201c>convenience<u+201d> and it was done in accordance with state department guidelines. though, she did say it was a <u+201c>mistake<u+201d> for her to use a private server. 




powell, however, criticized clinton for trying to bring him into the email issue. 




<u+201c>sad thing,<u+201d> powell wrote to a friend in a hacked email. <u+201c>hrc could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>i told her staff three times not to try that gambit. i had to throw a mini tantrum at a hampton<u+2019>s [ sic ] party to get their attention. she keeps tripping into these <u+2018>character<u+2019> minefields,<u+201d> powell wrote, adding he tried to meet with clinton aide cheryl mills to settle the issue.
