Hacked emails reveal Colin Powell talked Hillary's health with Democratic donor

Emails between former secretary of state Colin Powell and a business partner leaked on the Web Tuesday evening, revealing more than a year of exchanges between the two on topics ranging from what they perceived as Hillary Clinton's poor health to Fox News' Megyn Kelly and the "celebrification" of American society.
The messages, exchanged between Powell and Jeffrey Leeds, a New York financier and major Democratic donor, were released by DCLeaks, the same website responsible for publishing hacked documents obtained from George Soros' Open Society Foundations in August.

The emails reveal the two agreed on Clinton's poor health as far back as March 2015, with Leeds even suggesting he had learned of the issue from a Democratic senator. "On HD tv she doesn't look good," Powell wrote in one message. "She is working herself to death ... She will turn 70 her first year in office."


Leeds replied twelve minutes later. "Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps," Leeds wrote, referencing Rhode Island's junior senator.
In August 2015, Powell complained about Clinton invoking his name to resolve her email issues. "They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine … I had a secure State.gov machine."
"Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris," Powell added. "I told you about the gig I lost at a university because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn't [pay] any fees for awhile. I should send her a bill."
