That's good intel.

And frankly if we had to live with just one better for it to be the one about a news article that discusses the drone operation.

Two things are true:

Heather talked to I believe Alex gerlach at State, who said they were hearing only one email had so far been ruled out as Top Secret.

Separately, two reporters who were trying to confirm Gerstein's report with ODNI reported back to us that they were hearing the same.

The rumor was not that ODNI had completed the review and determined only one was not TS and the other was, but rather that they had only reached a definitive conclusion on the one (we think the North Korea email that supposedly relied on satellite imagery) and were still deciding on the other.

Separately, gerstein is still confident the review is indeed done, and the emails are no longer being handled as TS materials, and the statement was only issued last night because ODNI is trying to avoid embarrassing the IG by acting like they have overruled them.

It's on Twitter like this:

Read it all.

Read the contents of this email. This alone would impeach anyone else.

Collusion.

" the statement was only issued last night because ODNI is trying to avoid embarrassing the IG by acting like they have overruled them"

BASTARDS!!!! Not really surprising, but since when is the Office of the Director of National Intelligence supposed to be playing politics over TOP SECRET intel issues by trying to "avoid embarrassing" the IG of the State Dept?????????

Oh, that's right, this is the Obamanation linked with the Clintonistas, both groups masters of playing petty political games with our intel and national security.

ODNI and all key intel agencies should be above partisan politics, but of course the Obamascum and the Hillaryscum think it's fine to play their political games.

——(we think the North Korea email that supposedly relied on satellite imagery) ——

This email includes TS info and is reason to imprison all those in the chain

[NYC-RepublicanCT]

Boggles the mind how the media can ignore thus and everything else in Wikileaks. Disgraceful on all fronts

Twitter this...well done. Thanks

[wastoute]

Think about it. This does not inform us of what we did not know. We knew there was collusion between the Exec. Branch, State, DOJ, and the Brown Shirt Media. Every FReeper is well aware of these things. This is why we are proudly “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.

What this one email does is PROVE IT. It shows that when it comes to tinfoil NONE OF US HAS USED ENOGH.

[grey_whiskers]

In case anyone doesn’t want to wade through it.

This has Hillary Campaign staffers (note the .hillaryclinton.com addresses)

DISCUSSING THE PROGRESS OF THE INVESTIGATION

by the Dept. of State Inspector General, and the argument with the ODNI
(responsible for classifying) ...HOW MANY of the emails were Top Secret.
No Yoga or Chelsea’s wedding.

It is openly admitted that definitely one of the emails is Top Secret.
So their conclusion is, this isn’t a good story to defend Hillary: let’s have the New York Times bury the story of the leakage of Top Secret emails,
on their back page.

The State Dept — leaking information of a Criminal / Espionage investiation — TO the campaign —

the campaign casually discussing how they should have the New York Times spin this.

Can someone freaking get this to the Trump campaign or to Lou Dobbs or to Hannity or Limbaugh?

Nobody else is honest.

Don’t you think this is a bit worse than Octopussygate?

Also tweated to a few at Fox...

[USNBandit]

This string evidently only involves the TS material from ODNI that was mishandled. The other TS emails (8 strings total) must be from material of other origins, like State, DOD, or the White House.

[Paleo Pete]

IN a similar vein...

Looking through some of these I found this one:

https://wikileaks.com/podesta-emails/emailid/9149

White House Spokesman and Assistant Press Secretary Frank Benenati checking with Podesta about what sounds like a news release.

Note the 3rd paragraph in Benenati’s reply:

Let me know if there are any issues with it, but the donations from Steyer and Wyss are a matter of public record. I’m not mentioning the contract Podesta had with Wyss because you never got back to me on that, and I didn’t want to mention it without getting some sort of response in advance. > > And the story will run tomorrow if it makes A1; otherwise it will hold.

<><>

I won’t say anything till I check with you about it??? Which apparently implies it might be damaging...

Press colluding with Hillary’s team, White House Spokesman too.

Worth spreading it around?

[cgbg]

All Directors of agencies of the Executive Branch are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the President.

So, if the President is a corrupt crook all of their appointees will be corrupt crooks.

This is not rocket science, and there are no “clean” federal agencies that are immune to corruption at the top.

[Paleo Pete]

Another one that might be worth a closer look, about spinning the story about Wall Street Speeches.

https://wikileaks.com/podesta-emails/emailid/8086

Still poking around, but not much longer, and throwing a couple of these in here for others to take a look at.

https://wikileaks.com/podesta-emails/emailid/8086

More collusion with the press. Note in the email sent by Brian Fallon he writes:

I think we could come up with a vanilla characterization that challenges the idea that she sucked up to these folks in her appearances, but then use AP’s raising of this to our advantage to pitch someone to do an exclusive by providing at least the key excerpts from this Deutsche Bank speech. In doing so, we could have the reporting be sourced to a “transcript obtained by [news outlet]” so it is not confirmed as us selectively providing one transcript while refusing to share others.

<><>

So they are discussing having an article written, claiming it was “transcript obtained by [news outlet]” so nobody knows Hillary’s people actually supplied it.

More confirmation that they were colluding with the press and trying to hide as much as they could, and if I understand the entire email chain, even writing a fake speech transcript to pass around in order to fool everyone into thinking she wasn’t actually saying things wall street would like.

Or do I just really really want to see her as the evil corrupt lying bitch she really is?

And is there a thread somewhere we could post specific emails if we find anything people need to take a look at and see if it might be useful if brought to the attention of a wider audience?

I was just poking around and already had this thread open in another tab, and dropped a couple in with it.

Getting ANYTHING that is ammunition for the Trump campaign isn’t the issue, is it?

The most definitive image of the campaign so far IMHO is Trump saying that his campaign advisors tell him to keep to the issues-—and with that he cuts off his teleprompters in order to go back to the bimbo issue.

If Hillary gets elected, America is going to go down the tubes because of one man’s ego. Trump doesn’t care. It’s all about him.
