‘Her instincts can be terrible’: WikiLeaks reveals fears and frustrations inside Clinton world
Washington Post ^ | Oct. 25, 2016 | Rosalind S. Helderman

On the day the news broke that Hillary Clinton had used a private email account as secretary of state, the man who would soon be named to chair her presidential campaign fired off a note of distress, venting frustration about some of Clinton’s closest aides.

“Speaking of transparency, our friends Kendall, Cheryl and Phillipe sure weren’t forthcoming on the facts here,” John Podesta complained in the March 2015 note, referring to Clinton’s personal lawyer David Kendall as well as her former State Department staffers Cheryl Mills and Philippe Reines.

“Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” replied Neera Tanden, a longtime Podesta friend who also has worked for Clinton. Then, answering her own question, Tanden wrote again: “I guess I know the answer. They wanted to get away with it.”

The exchange, found in hacked emails from Podesta’s account and released Tuesday by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, provides a striking window into how the revelation of Clinton’s email setup roiled her nascent campaign team in the weeks before its official April 2015 kickoff.

Ed Rendell is in a position to know.
Trouble is, you can never believe a word he says.

Her team, aides, pals, staff, campaign team and most of her voters don’t care about her criminality.

Her campaign team may have been “roiled” when they found out about her eMail scandal but it didn’t stop them from doing everything possible to get her elected.

They don’t care if she is a criminal, aided our enemies, sold secrets and access for contributions to the Clinton slush funds and lied, lied, lied.

To them it’s not about the qualifications of the person elected president, it’s about their loyalty to the democrat party and the leftist. globalist agenda.

I think it more like they are loyal to the only way they know how to make a living. Using the cover of politics to run an organized crime ring.

Several exchanges illustrate fears among some top advisers that Clinton and other aides were demonstrating the very traits that polls suggested made her vulnerable: a penchant for secrecy and a hesitancy to admit fault or error.

“We’ve taken on a lot of water that won’t be easy to pump out of the boat,” Podesta wrote to Tanden in September 2015, at a time when Clinton’s campaign feared that Vice President Biden was about to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. “Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her instincts.”

Tanden responded, “Almost no one knows better [than] me that her instincts can be terrible.”

“This is damning and from her own people.”

I guess it’s crazy to expect any sort of integrity from people who have associated themselves with the Clintons, but it still blows me away that her own people KNOW she is a liar with terrible instincts, that her decisions are awful, that she requires teams of people to put every word in her mouth, and that she is in failing health; yet, they are working like demons to get her elected as President.

Some of the media stooges might be true believers in denial. Based on what they have written, the insiders are NOT true believers. They must be driven by unprecedented levels of greed, ambition, and lust for power over a pathetic puppet. The Clintonians don’t rate as worse scoundrels than the Nazis, but they are having quite a run at it.

Good comments, agree!

It’s hard to believe they’re even running this individual for potus. In a world gone mad.
