    The Bernie Sanders hit pieces and emails don't help scorned Sanders supporters. Their vote is very important although I'm guessing most stay home.

    A result of the msm ignoring the Podesta emails is its adding credence and possibly proof in many minds that they are in bed with Hilliary whether true or false. And I'm not talking about only the right wing republicans, for them it's more proof of "liberal media". Instead of reporting on the emails and adding that it "goes both ways" with some examples they choose to ignore them altogether. It's understandable when you have Brazile in an email with a word for word lead up to question and her denying that she provided it to the Clinton camp, word for word.

    Michael Froman, who is now U.S. trade representative but at the time was an executive at Citigroup, wrote an email to Podesta on October 6, 2008, with the subject “Lists.” Froman used a Citigroup email address. He attached three documents: a list of women for top administration jobs, a list of non-white candidates, and a sample outline of 31 cabinet-level positions and who would fill them. “The lists will continue to grow,” Froman wrote to Podesta, “but these are the names to date that seem to be coming up as recommended by various sources for senior level jobs.”

    The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money. It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more. For the Treasury, three possibilities were on the list: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner.

    This was October 6. The election was November 4. And yet Froman, an executive at Citigroup, which would ultimately become the recipient of the largest bailout from the federal government during the financial crisis, had mapped out virtually the entire Obama cabinet, a month before votes were counted. And according to the Froman/Podesta emails, lists were floating around even before that.

    Perfect. Debunks all the supporters who thought that the media was impartial. What a joke.

    Many Bernie supporters are voting for Stein. But I will be writing in his name probably, as well as many others.

    I'm not telling you or anyone how to vote nor am I asking for your reason for the write in but 3rd parties need votes to qualify for future elections and to encourage 3rd party candidates to run in state and local races.

    What did Bernies run teach us, change will not come from within the democratic party. It didn't with Obama and it certainly won't with Hilliary.
    Bernie knew from Perot and Nader that he had to run as a democrat otherwise no airtime no attention. What little attention he would have received will have only started after the conventions, he took a shot knowing he had very little chance. He was saying it the entire time "i started out with 5%..."

    Email: Clinton campaign tried to move back Illinois primary

    Published October 13, 2016
    Associated Press


    Hillary Clinton's campaign tried to move the Illinois presidential primary to a later date, saying a contest held after the Super
    Tuesday primaries might stop momentum for a moderate Republican candidate and emphasizing that Clinton and her husband
    "won't forget" a political favor, emails made public on Thursday show.

    A November 2014 email hacked from the accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta was among nearly 2,000
    new emails published by the anti­secrecy group WikiLeaks. The email, from Clinton's future campaign manager Robby Mook to
    Podesta, said Obama administration officials should use their connections in the president's home state to try to push back the
    March 15 Illinois primary by at least a month.
    "The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid­March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican
    candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday," Mook wrote. "IL was a key early win for (GOP presidential candidate Mitt)
    Romney" in 2012.
    While the request would come from Obama, the president and former Illinois senator, "the key point is that this is not an Obama
    ask, but a Hillary ask," Mook said.

    "The Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them," he added. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill
    Clinton, famously gave special attention to allies considered "friends of Bill."

    Clinton's campaign said the FBI was investigating who hacked Podesta's email. Vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine told ABC's
    "The View" Thursday that the FBI and director of national intelligence have said "the Russian government is behind" the hack,
    adding that "anybody that would hack to try to destabilize an election, you can't automatically assume that everything in all of
    these documents are even real."

    Questions were raised on social media about the speed with which Russia Today, a news site funded by the Russian
    government, tweeted about Podesta's e­mails, the latest in a series of hacked emails published by WikiLeaks. The group said the
    e­mails were visible on its website "well before" it started tweeting them.
    RT dismissed the questions as conspiracy theories. "We were fastest on #Podestaemails6, faster than @wikileaks, and the US
    conspiracy machine can't handle it," the network said in a tweet.
    On the Illinois issue, Mook suggested that Bill Daley, a former White House chief of staff and longtime Illinois power broker,
    should reach out to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to make the request.
    Mook made it clear it would be a tough sell because Madigan and other Illinois Democrats "feel forgotten and neglected by
    POTUS," a reference to Obama.
    Daley, whose father and brother were both Chicago mayors, told The Associated Press that he called Madigan as requested, but
    warned Clinton's team that moving the primary was unlikely because of a short time­frame.
    "I made the call and talked to Mike and he listened and understood the reasoning," Daley said. "But my own judgment was the
    likelihood that either side would want a primary later in the legislative session was going to be slim to none."
    The Illinois legislature moved up the 2008 primary to benefit its favorite son, then­Sen. Barack Obama, in his bid for the White
    House.
    The primary was held in early February that year to give Illinois more influence, but then moved back to its traditional
    date in mid­March.
    This year the primary was held as scheduled on March 15. Clinton won the Democratic primary, while Donald Trump won the
    Republican contest.

    I posted this one previous. I didn't see in the article where the DNC offered additional delegates to Illinois for moving the date.

    Email: Clinton campaign tried to move back Illinois primary

    Published October 13, 2016
    Associated Press


    Hillary Clinton's campaign tried to move the Illinois presidential primary to a later date, saying a contest held after the Super
    Tuesday primaries might stop momentum for a moderate Republican candidate and emphasizing that Clinton and her husband
    "won't forget" a political favor, emails made public on Thursday show.

    A November 2014 email hacked from the accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta was among nearly 2,000
    new emails published by the anti­secrecy group WikiLeaks. The email, from Clinton's future campaign manager Robby Mook to
    Podesta, said Obama administration officials should use their connections in the president's home state to try to push back the
    March 15 Illinois primary by at least a month.
    "The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid­March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican
    candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday," Mook wrote. "IL was a key early win for (GOP presidential candidate Mitt)
    Romney" in 2012.
    While the request would come from Obama, the president and former Illinois senator, "the key point is that this is not an Obama
    ask, but a Hillary ask," Mook said.

    "The Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them," he added. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill
    Clinton, famously gave special attention to allies considered "friends of Bill."

    Clinton's campaign said the FBI was investigating who hacked Podesta's email. Vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine told ABC's
    "The View" Thursday that the FBI and director of national intelligence have said "the Russian government is behind" the hack,
    adding that "anybody that would hack to try to destabilize an election, you can't automatically assume that everything in all of
    these documents are even real."

    Questions were raised on social media about the speed with which Russia Today, a news site funded by the Russian
    government, tweeted about Podesta's e­mails, the latest in a series of hacked emails published by WikiLeaks. The group said the
    e­mails were visible on its website "well before" it started tweeting them.
    RT dismissed the questions as conspiracy theories. "We were fastest on #Podestaemails6, faster than @wikileaks, and the US
    conspiracy machine can't handle it," the network said in a tweet.
    On the Illinois issue, Mook suggested that Bill Daley, a former White House chief of staff and longtime Illinois power broker,
    should reach out to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan to make the request.
    Mook made it clear it would be a tough sell because Madigan and other Illinois Democrats "feel forgotten and neglected by
    POTUS," a reference to Obama.
    Daley, whose father and brother were both Chicago mayors, told The Associated Press that he called Madigan as requested, but
    warned Clinton's team that moving the primary was unlikely because of a short time­frame.
    "I made the call and talked to Mike and he listened and understood the reasoning," Daley said. "But my own judgment was the
    likelihood that either side would want a primary later in the legislative session was going to be slim to none."
    The Illinois legislature moved up the 2008 primary to benefit its favorite son, then­Sen. Barack Obama, in his bid for the White
    House.
    The primary was held in early February that year to give Illinois more influence, but then moved back to its traditional
    date in mid­March.
    This year the primary was held as scheduled on March 15. Clinton won the Democratic primary, while Donald Trump won the
    Republican contest.

    Actually the DNC offered more super delegates in exchange for the date move.
    Politics as usual I guess.

    The Bernie Sanders hit pieces and emails don't help scorned Sanders supporters. Their vote is very important although I'm guessing most stay home.

    Many Bernie supporters are voting for Stein. But I will be writing in his name probably, as well as many others.
    I'm not telling you or anyone how to vote nor am I asking for your reason for the write in but 3rd parties need votes to qualify for future elections and to encourage 3rd party candidates to run in state and local races.

    What did Bernies run teach us, change will not come from within the democratic party. It didn't with Obama and it certainly won't with Hilliary.
    Bernie knew from Perot and Nader that he had to run as a democrat otherwise no airtime no attention. What little attention he would have received will have only started after the conventions, he took a shot knowing he had very little chance. He was saying it the entire time "i started out with 5%..."
    Correct. Which is why I'm voting Trump.

    Both parties have cried wolf so often, convincing voters that a Mitt Romney or a John Kerry is a monster, that we can't recognize when a monster actually appears.

    Trump is a monster.

    Who knows, it's not wiki or Gucc that is claiming they have the deleted emails so I'm not so sure the deleted emails are out there.

    Podesta 7 released = operation increased post count!

    Didn't podesta already endorse Trump? is all this necessary? Or is that the new strategy by the Clinton camp? It's hard to keep up with all of these brilliant tactical moves

    I'm sorry for laughing at this, often.
