WikiLeaks’ Podesta email release reveals massive Clinton ‘hits’ file on Sanders

Hillary Clinton’s campaign purportedly compiled a massive “hits” file on Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders, calling into question his “progressive bona fides” on issues ranging from labor to guns to Wall Street, according to a new trove of emails posted by WikiLeaks.

The 71-page, nearly 50,000-word document was released Monday as the second installment in WikiLeaks’ dump of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s alleged emails. The email, titled “PLS REVIEW: Sanders Hits,” was sent by campaign research director Tony Carrk on Oct. 28, 2015 – nearly nine months before the liberal Vermont senator would endorse Clinton following their protracted primary battle.

“Attached are some hits that could either be written or deployed during the next debate on Sanders,” Carrk writes, noting that the immense opposition research file would eventually be expanded with critiques of Sanders’ plan to provide affordable college education

The document, which was prepared in advance of February’s Iowa caucuses, also notes: “Per HRC’s request,” the research team is “doing a deeper dive on Sanders’s agriculture record.”

The document is broken up into 12 sections, with headings such as “Sanders Is Not Straight with People on His Spending” and “Sanders Not Straight with People on Taxes.” Subcategories then divide the attacks into specific points.

“Sanders, often thought of as a champion of labor unions, accepted support from a company while it was involved in a bitter labor dispute -- locking out union employees for nearly 22 months,” the document states in the “Labor/Pay to Play/Sugar” section. Sanders later voted “to protect the sugar program.”

Nothing matters. The communists Democratic base is so huge that Hillary will probably win the election. This corrupt and ignorant fools will never change. Trump has not effectually reached the unformed because his lack of saturating ads on the MSM.

Hopefully Trump for President.

We always knew that Podesta was her chief hatchet man.
Now we see how The Clinton Machine works from the inside

Remember the monster vote. In fact, just spoke to my son, just mailed his registration today, has not voted for a decade at least. There IS NO WAY TO POLL THESE PEOPLE. How many NEW voters do you believe will vote for Hillary? Vanishingly small is my guess. Yet take a look. MILLIONS of new voters.

Yes, but isn’t this kind of ‘research’ a normal part of politics ?

Ignoring her other actual crimes, I don’t see this as criminal.

Have courage! Trump has proven himself to be a formidable warrior. He will go scorched on HRC if need be. The dirty secret is that trump will amass enormous dem crossover votes- especially among African Americans. I

Let’s face it. The country is doomed. This is what the so-called cognitive elite do instead of productive work.

The old Socialist easily soaked up about half their constituents;

YOU PAY FOR SOCIALISM ... But Sanders does not mention that the middle class picks up the bill in these countries, paying nearly sixty percent of their income in taxes, three times what middle class Americans pay now.

They’re right about one thing. Sanders is definitely a fraud. I just hope this makes the Sanders supporters vote for Trump.

Sanders got at least 40% of the vote in the primaries. These leaked emails show how much Hillary and her people detest Bernie and his basement dwelling supporters.

Now we are supposed to believe that these basement dwellers will come oit in force and vote for Hillary?

I doubt it...

So? Sanders won’t do anything about it except maybe, in order to keep his mouth shut, to demand new furniture for the lake house. .

I had read when the primaries started Debbie Blabbermouth Schulz had given Hillary Rotten Clinton several hundred super delegates right at the beginning of the primaries, and she had given Bernie Sanders 0.
