PODESTA, THE PARAMECIUM WHO HEADS HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO THE FBI???!!! HILARIOUS NOW THAT THE AGENCY IS IN HILLARY’S CORNER THANKS TO THE DUPLICITY OF LORETTA LYNCH AND COMEY….RSK
WASHINGTON—Hillary Clinton’s political team sought to contain any potential fallout over her use of a private email server by communicating with government agencies, enlisting help of congressional allies and managing public statements, newly released emails show.
Hacked emails belonging to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were posted by the website WikiLeaks this week, showing her staff candidly debating the tone and substance of responses to media after the 2015 disclosure of her use of a private email server while leading the State Department during President Barack Obama’s first term.
In several electronic exchanges, almost all from last year and this year, Mrs. Clinton’s staff appeared to be in communication with government officials about the email issue. One campaign official is shown telling colleagues about a coming procedural step, which was part of the public record, that he suggests he learned from Justice Department officials.
In another case, an attorney for Mrs. Clinton appeared to know the contents of a State Department document release concerning speeches by former President Bill Clinton before it was made public.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign hasn’t confirmed or denied the authenticity of the email trove posted by WikiLeaks, but a campaign spokesman said the release of apparently stolen internal communications showcases Russian attempts to interfere in the U.S. election on behalf of Mrs. Clinton’s Republican rival, Donald Trump. U.S. intelligence agencies have publicly accused Russia of directing hacks and leaks aimed at top Democratic Party officials, but they haven’t reached a conclusion in the specific breach of Mr. Podesta’s emails.
Mr. Podesta told reporters Tuesday that he had been in touch with the Federal Bureau of Investigation about what he called a “criminal hack.”
“If you think you’d like all the contents of all your emails for 10 years dumped into public, think about how that feels. It doesn’t feel great,” Mr. Podesta said. “But I’m kind of Zen about it at this stage.” CONTINUE AT SITE
