Regime is a very aggressive tactic that the chairman of the foreign relations committee whos trying to be so involved in this deal didnt sign it. it gives a good idea. >> a.b. karim thank you so much. that does it for me.

Government official. the way the system works, every employee, the individual whether they have one, two, three devices and how many addresses, they make the decision. so even if you have a work-related device with a work-related dot-gov account, that is the way the system works. so we count on and the judgment of thousands of maybe millions of people to make those decisions. and i feel that i did that and even more that i went above and beyond what i was requested to do. and again, those will b...

Question was worded exactly right. it was very specific. he said when did you first learn that hillary clinton used an email system outside of the u.s. government for official business while she was secretary of state? you had to have noticed it was not a dot gov address and you were having discussions with her, no doubt at times that were related to her work as secretary of state so kind of how could you not realize that? >> exactly. you have to assume the president and the secretary of state w...

As recorded information regardless of its form or characteristics. and in meeting the record-keeping obligations, it was my practice to e-mail government officials on their state or other dot-gov accounts so that the e-mails were immediately captured and preserved. now, there are different rules governing the white house than there are governing the rest of the executive branch. and in order to address the requirements i was under, i did exactly what i have said. i e-mailed two people and not on...

Colin powell also writes about it in his book. he had personal e-mail that he did use for government business as well as government e-mail address. this past weekend when he was asked if he turned over any of the e-mails, in response to the same document ask that hillary clinton turned over 55,000 page he said no. anybody that e-mailed with a dot gov server i just deleted everything. we are trusting colin powell like every other government employee. hold on. every other government employee makes...

Thank you. >> well i will leave that to others to answer. but as i said i saw it as a matter of convenience, and it was allowed. others had done it. according to the state department which recently said secretary kerry was the first secretary of state to rely primarily on a state.gov e-mail account. and when i got there, i wanted to just use one device for both personal and work e-mails instead of two. it was allowed. and as i said, it was for convenience, and it was my practice to communicate w...

>> you have her saying im not turning over this server and do what you will with it. what will republicans do and are they at risk of going too far? >> ive heard that -- im thinking of the phrase its deva vu all over again. its why voters are uneasy with her campaign. this is a key difference that colin powells not going to run for president. republicans have shown over the past couple of years an ability to overstep things. i think its important for republicans to stay out of way. let the clint...
