On Wednesday, a group of hackers, possibly connected to the Russian government, released a batch of e-mails purportedly belonging to former secretary of state Colin Powell, who had retired in 2005 and had likely hoped to be sitting in his hot tub room-slash-art gallery in relative peace. Though the e-mails raised a fresh round of cybersecurity concerns over whether the Kremlin is attempting to influence the outcome of the American presidential election—especially following the D.N.C. hack that took down Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz—it also revealed that Powell, for all of his gravitas and diplomatic acumen, is essentially the Regina George of Washington, D.C. (“We have confirmed that the general has been hacked and that these are his emails,” spokeswoman Peggy Cifrino told The Washington Post. “We have no other comment at this time.”)

As a leading Republican establishment figure, it was unsurprising that Powell had voiced strong antipathy towards Donald Trump for usurping his party. Powell’s other political enemies are not spared, either. But his most withering commentary, according to hacked e-mails sent to the press, Powell saved for his friends—and their spouses:

“If Donald were to somehow win,” Powell wrote in a June 23 e-mail to [former secretary of state Condoleezza] Rice, “by the end of the first week in office he'd be saying 'What the hell did I get myself into?’”

“I think his attention span may be waning because national campaigning is a lot harder than just showing up at rallies,” Rice said of Trump earlier in that conversation.

And as a former general, Powell had some choice words for Trump’s military advisor, Gen. Mike Flynn, too:

“Flynn got fired as head of DIA. His replacement is a black Marine three-star. I asked why Flynn got fired. Abusive with staff, didn’t listen, worked against policy, bad management, etc. He has been and was right-wing nutty every [sic] since. I watched about five minutes on line of his talked [sic] and switched off.”

(Flynn has previously asserted that he was fired for the stand he took on “radical Islamism and the expansion of al Qaeda and its associated movements.”)

What really irked Powell, however, was Hillary Clinton’s repeated attempts to use him as cover for her e-mail server, claiming that since he’d had his own private e-mail, she was in the clear:

“I have told Hilleary's [sic] minions repeatedly that they are making a mistake trying to drag me in, yet they still try," he wrote in May to Democratic consultant Vernon Jordan. "The media isn't fooled and she is getting crucified. The differences are profound and they know it."

And:

“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of e-mails with friggin' record rules. I saw e-mail more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote last year to his business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything H.R.C. touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”

And here’s why he’s not endorsing anyone, least of all Clinton:

"Hillary has not been covering here [sic] self with glory," Powell writes. "For good reason she comes across as sleazy."

Powell’s former White House colleagues were not safe, either. In an exchange with Condoleezza Rice,, Powell groused about how much he hated Donald Rumsfeld:

“One day when we both have had too many drinks we can discuss why [President George W. Bush] tolerated him and why Dick [Cheney], a successful SecDef, was so committed to Don. I must say I gagged as [President George H.W. Bush] praised him as the ‘best’ at the statuary hall unveiling.”

Neither was Dick Cheney spared when Powell heard about the book he’d written with his daughter, Liz Cheney:

”They are idiots and spent force peddling a book that ain’t going nowhere.”

Powell’s shadiest commentary, however, was reserved for Bill Clinton:

“I would rather not have to vote for [Hillary Clinton], although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year-old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home (according to the [New York Post]).”

Tell us how you really feel, Colin.
