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."
