Krauthammer’s Take: Powell Shows Resentment toward Clintons, Along with ‘Scathing Remarks’ on Trump

With all the attention on the leaked Colin Powell e-mails, Charles Krauthammer noted how the former secretary of state has been critical of both presidential candidates:

Well he’s an equal-opportunity skeptic. He’s been near, particularly, to the Clintons, so he’s seen them in action. I can understand why he’d be particularly upset that he is dragged into this saga of e-mail, of cover-ups, of destroyed documents, and somehow associated with it in a very tenuous way by Clinton. And I can understand his resentment; it makes total sense.

I also understand, as a former secretary of state and chairman of the joint chiefs and having been abroad, a guy who’s been around — and knows everybody who’s anybody around the world — knows about the world reaction to the possibility of a Trump presidency. And I think he reflects that in his rather scathing remarks.
