What’s the matter? Don’t you want to break federal law? And if you do, and by some miracle you are successful, you get to be the guy who killed the dream. You’ll be hated by young people and African-Americans for the rest of your life. Gee, it sounds like such an attractive offer, John.
I am so pissed at Penn. He has screwed this thing up and now it’s too late. Barack will be over 50% tonight, he’ll crush her in Nevada and South Carolina. And then, what? She’s going to rally and beat him in California and 21 other states? Not after Penn has bled that campaign dry. She’s toast.

I am passed about one thing.
I suggested doing that at 4:30 and got held
On Saturday, January 16, 2016, Neera Tanden
You mean pissed? Got held by who? Hillary. God. Her instincts are suboptimal.
Pretty typical though. I would not be surprised if wjc told him to do it.
Just as I’m pretty sure mark Penn didn’t do his cocaine rang against Obama without some higher up approval.
On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 9:54 PM John Podesta
Sorry. Yes pissed. Held by our response team that wanted to let him walk it back on his own So three hours later after he still had not done it, we are characterized as having a belated response.

Subject: Asian American Candidates, Muslim American Candidates
Here are the compiled lists of Asian American and Muslim American candidates for top Administration jobs, sub-cabinet jobs, and outside boards/agencies/policy committees. A couple things to note about the list of Muslim American candidates:
1) In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Muslim (e.g., George Mitchell). Many Lebanese Americans, for example, are Christian. In the last list (of outside boards/commissions), most who are listed appear to be Muslim American, except that a handful (where noted) may be Arab American but of uncertain religion (esp. Christian).
2) There is only one candidate I thought was a viable one for a Secretary-level job among the Muslim Americans. That said, on both lists, there are some very senior people listed in the last category (for outside boards/commissions) who conceivably could be considered for top jobs. The very senior people I put on the last list tended not to be terribly involved in politics or policy, or in the case of some Asian Americans, had already served in the Clinton and even Carter Administrations and so I thought we should seek new talent. But there’s no magic to some of the placements. I think the lists are fairly exhaustive, but some of the people may be moved to other categories.
3) High-profile Muslim Americans tend to be the subject of a fair amount of blogger criticism, and so the individuals on this list would need to be ESPECIALLY carefully vetted. I suspect some of the people I list would not survive such a vet — but I do personally know, at least in part, virtually all of the candidates in the 1st two categories (but I know very few of those listed for outside boards/commissions).
4) I listed the elected Muslim American democratic officials at the end of the second category, but for various reasons, I didn’t think any of them would necessarily be suitable for an Administration appointment. Nevertheless, I wanted to flag them for you in case you wanted to evaluate them further.
DOJ list will be coming in the next two days. Judges and USAttorneys will still take about 10 days.
Let me know if the latter are needed sooner.

Does anyone remember a wikileaks email where they were talking about Chistians in the military and they are concerned about the Islamic world seeing us as crusaders? I remember reading it somewhere, but now I can’t find it. It might have happened around the time that Bergdahl was released.

I would not say crisis, but they are clearly not doing the job they need to do. To this seriously, you are talking major resources, not just a game. stan

Yes, we need to move with some tactics to try to stop him. Ideas? We should take another swing at the immigration angle. I think this is a crisis. We need to ring the alarm bell. But I’m not sure how we could affect the GOP primary? Earned media play on McCain and immigration. Robocalls to suppress his vote? Turnout evangelicals for Huck?
