Wikileaks--No Rest On Sunday, October 23

For those waiting for the Hillary "kill shot" I will repeat what I told another poster last week--if I could deliver that you would be going to church to worship me today. Meanwhile this .gov geek is going to dig into the sordid details of Podesta world...

Re: Cadillac tax

Jen/Brian - HRC would like to go with the Senate Dem version of repeal with no caveats but strong message that it must be paid for and R version without pay for is unacceptable. Meet the Press worthy? If so, I want to work with Nikki and Amanda to set it up with unions.

I am sure that after taking $250K a speech Hillary will on top of this issue--not!

The reason the bank execs don't go to jail is the same reason Hillary doesn't go to jail--bribery and corruption at the top of American government. Wake up, Mandy! -----

Deferred prosecution agreements, mostly. When we do Wall Street reform we have some good enforcement stuff.

Jake, Are we looking at this? Last graph: For the banks, though, life as a felon is likely to carry more symbolic shame than practical problems. Although they could be barred by American regulators from certain activities, the banks scrambled behind the scenes to persuade those regulators to grant exemptions. That process, which delayed the Justice Department’s announcement by a week, already led to the Securities and Exchange Commission providing a number of waivers that allow the banks to conduct business as usual.

This Brent guy has given the campaign some other good advice which they have ignored--I agree, this campaign is a plebiscite on Hillary--and her attack dogs on her staff and in the media will have been shown not to move the numbers:

Subject: Washington Post story

As I expected it took 24 hours for the Post to pick up the story, and say HRC has surrogates to "her dirty work" (the Post's phrase) and attack Bernie, quoting the same suspects. It would have been much better for the story to had a sentence that when she heard about it Hillary told her campaign to tell all surrogates to be preach her cause and not attack Bernie.....

Here is the key point, and you know I have been warning about this for months: Hillary is not running against Bernie, she is running against herself, against the perception that she is calculating and lacks principles and causes and a higher purpose to be president and that she is too beholden to inside powers that give her money and an insider system that voters detest in this election, in both parties.....

Attacking Bernie doesn't help her win this campaign against herself, it hurts her, stories about others doing "her dirty work" only dirty her and lower her level of trust, and the attacks against Bernie only help him, making him look like the fighter against a corrupt politics of which Hillary appears to part of.....

The Obama consultants who are now Hillary consultants will never understand this, in fact much of the Bernie support from the grassroots is a reaction against what they see as Obama and Democrats in Washington letting them down....Bernie is fighting an asymmetrical political war from the bottom up, Hillary is fighting an old fashioned conventional war from the top down in a political year when the top is terribly disliked and the bottom is in revolt.... The way for Hillary to win the political war is not for her or her surrogates to do anything that is "dirty work", it is for her and all of her surrogates to champion a positive vision of her and her presidency, to make her a champion for those on the bottom to lift the bottom up, not to look like a defender or even worse the leader of the top fighting to keep their birthright to have power.... Praising Bernie and even more praising those who support Bernie for idealistic reasons and seizing as many leading progressive issues as possible is how she wins the campaign against herself to win the campaign against Bernie....attacking Bernie helps Bernie and hurts her....it is vital to understand the dynamics of the anti-insider sentiment dominating this campaign which hurts Hillary and Jeb for exactly the same reasons and to understand the asymmetrical politics of outsiders against insiders fueled by social media that has far more power this year than what Chuck Todd says on Meet the Press..... My difference with the campaign's approach is not tactical, is it ideological and strategic and I rarely say this but my warnings over the last 6 months have been proven 100% right.....

She should support bringing back some version of Glass Steagall because it is right, because ending Glass Steagall was Bill's worst mistake in an otherwise highly successful presidency that I have lavishly praised, and because Hillary is almost universally seen as far too entrenched with Wall Street players who paid her money to speak and give money to her campaigns.....

ask Jeb Bush how much his money has lifted his support....and if she won't do it, she has to compensate twice as hard elsewhere..... Joe Biden can sound like Elizabeth Warren on Labor Day, but he won't take one vote from Bernie if he runs because it's a little late in the game for him to discover this, Hillary won't win one vote by attacking "robber barons" unless she backs it up with substance which doesn't mean talking class warfare, but does mean taking some policy positions that do not require approval from Wall Street donors.... I don't worry about the latest polls, polls can change if candidates do the right thing, but I worry like hell that I was at a university day with thousands of students on Saturday where Bernie had a booth with a long line of people signing up to support him, and Hillary did not have any booth and I did not see even one Hillary button or t-shirt from even one student who cared to support the candidate who would be the first woman president----not even one!!! And on Bernie's major issues, whether they are "left" or not, most of them are majority positions, and she would defeat Bernie by co-opting as many of these issues as possible and not using "surrogates" to do "dirty work" against him which helps him, and hurts her......Brent

What exactly _is_ the relationship between Goldman Sachs and Hillary_land. Here is yet another "crazy conspiracy theory" confirmed in a Podesta email chain:

Subject: Office Space

Huma, Hope you are feeling well. I wanted to touch base with you and set up a call for this week – a meeting would be great but if not at least a call – to discuss space. As you may know from the traffic btw Chelsea and I last week which included Bruce and Podesta, I had a meeting and walk through for the additional space available at 77 Water Street. They have an interested party (who today just asked for a draft lease – so that is moving quickly) on the table for part of the space so if we want additional space, we need to move quickly.

Goldman, b/c of their relationship with us, is delaying the drafting of a lease for this interested party until they get a better sense from us but they cannot hold them off too much longer.

I briefed John this am and then he and I met with Bob regarding CGI needs. It would be great if we could arrange a call to discuss the Secretary’s needs for this week and I can have John and/or Bob join as needed. Michelle is copied here for follow up on setting a time for a meeting or call at your convenience.

In meantime, Genzler via Goldman Sachs is awaiting our details to do test fit options.

Thanks, Laura Laura Graham

I have _no_ clue what this is about--but I bet it is _really_ interesting (file under Dirty Harry):

After he gets to Russia, apparently :)

USG employees and private union members would be hurt by the Cadillac tax. It is no wonder Hillary wants to repeal it.
