The Podesta emails, round 2

NY Times:

Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Strained to Hone Her Message, Hacked Emails Show

OCT. 10, 2016

 

On the eve of the New Hampshire primary in February, a longtime aide to Bill Clinton was worried. Hillary Clinton was about to go down to defeat in the state, and the former president was despondent.

 

“He’s losing it bad today,” Mr. Clinton’s chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, wrote to John D. Podesta, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, in an email. She added, “If you’re in NH please see if you can talk to him.”

 

The email was one of thousands released by WikiLeaks on Monday that provided a revealing glimpse into the inner workings of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. They show a candidacy that began expecting a coronation and was thrown badly off course by a misreading of the electorate and a struggle to define what she stood for.

 

Stretching over nine years, but drawn mainly from the past two years, the correspondence captures in detail the campaign’s extreme caution and difficulty in identifying a core rationale for her candidacy, and the noisy world of advisers, friends and family members trying to exert influence.

More released minutes ago. Hah. John Podesta (evil evil himself), supposed good friend of the Clintons - wonder what the rest of their 'friends' think of them. Like Podesta, it's all about the power. He should know about Bill, he was one of the clean up crew after the Lewinsky mess. I often wonder what happened to Harold Ickes. You don't hear his name anymore (he always liked to lurk in the shadows anyway), but I am sure he is somewhere doing evil - maybe he works like Podesta for Soros, but behind the scenes. Pedestal must be getting some kind of big perk to work for Soros organization, cause he certainly doesn't have to do it for the money (but for some people its never enough). He (along with his attorney wife now divorced) owns the largest lobbying law firm in DC. Part of how they got so large and powerful? The pay for play didn't start with the Clinton Foundation - it started when Slick Willie was in the Oval Brothel.

From the Podesta Wiki-Leak, from Clintonista, Bill Ivey:

 

 

To what end will they reinforce the "rapidly fading compliance?" Chains? Beatings? More Clinton assassinations? IRS audits or visits from the Department of JustUs?

Podesta e-mails: Conservative Catholicism an “an amazing bastardization of the faith”
Ed Morrissey
October 12, 2016

The Wikileaks hack of the e-mail system of Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta has produced plenty of strange moments, but perhaps none stranger than a 2011 discussion of Catholicism in which Podesta himself played no part. The brief exchange between Jennifer Palmieri, now Hillary’s comms director but at the time working at the Center for American Progress, and CAP fellow John Halpin sounds so bitter and offers such silly arguments about Catholicism that it looks fake. If legit, these hacked e-mails provide a rather disturbing look into the minds of Hillary’s brain trust when it comes to Catholics, especially conservative Catholics.

It’s worth pointing out that the exposure of this conversation took place through theft — the illegal hacking of private e-mails from a private organization. This isn’t the same thing as public-sector communications released via FOIA requests. None of this was intended for public consumption nor did it have a connection at that time to offices of public trust; rather, it reads like an exercise in venting between colleagues. It starts off with a bitter rant from Halpin over news that Rupert Murdoch’s family are raising their children in the Catholic faith. The subject line is “Conservative Catholicism,” but the antagonism goes broader than that:

Note that this doesn’t allege that conservative Catholics have “severely backwards gender relations,” but that conservatives get drawn to Catholicism because of this supposed feature. Somehow, this indicates an intellectual deficiency in the nineteenth-century political development of Christian democracy in Europe, a non-sequitur that could give one whiplash.
