wasteofo2 said:If Powell runs for Senate in '06, I will have the pleasure of voting for one of the greatest men in our nations history. And hell, if Hillary Clinton could come and be a sucessful carpet-bagger, why not Colin Powell, who actually grew up in NYC? If there's any actual reason to consider Powell a senatorial candidate, it would have been better if he'd retired a bit early and ousted Chuck Schumer this year instead. I actually like Hillary, but Chuck Schumer's just an average self-interested political whore.
The outcome of the Powell vs. Clinton '06 case was a dismissal of the charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The case was filed by former National Security Advisor Colin Powell, who claimed that Clinton's use of a private email server for government business was a breach of national security.
Powell's main arguments were that Clinton's use of a private server was a violation of the Federal Records Act and that it put classified information at risk. He also claimed that the State Department failed to adequately respond to Freedom of Information Act requests for Clinton's emails.
The case was dismissed due to lack of evidence and jurisdiction. The court found that Powell did not have standing to bring the case, as he was not directly affected by Clinton's use of a private server. Additionally, there was no evidence of intent to mishandle classified information on Clinton's part.
The case did have some impact on the 2016 election, as it brought attention to Clinton's use of a private server and raised questions about her handling of classified information. However, the case was ultimately dismissed and did not result in any legal consequences for Clinton.
The case did not set a precedent as it was dismissed, but it did bring attention to the issue of government officials using private email servers for official business. The use of private email by government officials is still a controversial topic and has been addressed in subsequent cases, such as the investigation into former FBI Director James Comey's use of a personal email account for work-related matters.
