From:ruddy@newsmax.com To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2014-06-25 19:22 Subject: House bill, etc John, Thank you again for taking the time out to meet me this week. I really enjoyed our chat and meeting Celia, as well as saying hello to Denis. I had a meeting with Mario Diaz Balart today who tells me the re whipping is not going well in terms of votes. He says that they really have been hurt by the Cantor loss. He still has some additional votes to review. He Is interested in proceeding. We have agreed to cohost a meeting of conservative leaders likely the week of July 7 in DC for him to lay out his concepts. Hopefully we can gauge reaction after that meeting as well. I will let you know what I am up to. If you have any suggestions for me please feel free to share them. Thank you. Best, Chris Christopher Ruddy Sent from my iPad

From:ruddy@newsmax.com To: ruddy@newsmax.com Date: 2015-09-03 17:57 Subject: Dick & Liz Cheney on Newsmax TV Yesterday in New York, Dick Cheney and his co-author and daughter Liz Cheney kicked off their new book launch for “Exceptional.” After beginning with the must-watch MSNBC’s Morning Joe show, the Vice President and Liz visited our Newsmax TV studios on Bryant Park. The two were interviewed for Newsmax TV prime time shows The Steve Malzberg Show and The Hardline with Ed Berliner. We posted a number of stories based on these Newsmax TV interviews and they have received wide pick-up. Here are a few I thought you might enjoy: Cheney on Obama’s Motive for Iran Deal http://tinyurl.com/pmgdomn Cheney: Hillary Email Server Issues ‘Very Serious’ http://tinyurl.com/o2kfkjd Cheney on Ky.

I have read Exceptional and it’s also “exceptional!” Best, Chris Christopher Rudd
I don’t see any payoff mentioned in the email.
I do see inside baseball about whipping for a vote in 2014.
