Wikileaks email: “Warning to Hillary” from liberal blogger
Sharyl Attkisson's Blog ^ | October 28, 2016 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 10/30/2016 9:50:02 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In March of last year, Hillary Clinton ally Brent Budowsky expressed concerns about foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and other matters. His alleged email to Clinton campaign chief John Podesta was entitled, “Warning to Hillary.” Budowsky blogs for The Hill, the LA Progressive, and The Huffington Post:

“It was not uplifting to learn in recent hours that problems with foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation continue, Hillary Clinton was still making paid speeches for hire this week, and Tony Rodham is hustling gold mining deals in Haiti. From the minute the email story broke I have been out there publicly and unequivocally supporting Hillary Clinton in multiple ways in multiple media unlike many Democrats and unlike most in the media. My mama taught me long ago that when I am seriously angry I should count to ten and choose my words carefully. In that spirit here is my toned down advice which I seriously doubt the Clintons are hearing from those close to them, and if they are hearing it, they are not understanding it. If there is one thing that could well bring down a Hillary Clinton candidacy it is this cycle of money issues about which I am now feeling red alerts, loud bells, warning signals, and red flags and I am now seriously pissed off that there is a real chance that her candidacy and the Democratic Party could be destroyed by these self-created dangers that continue to proliferate the closer she gets to presumably announcing her candidacy.

If she is not hearing this from others, please feel free to forward this to her, I will play the bad guy here because I do not want her money and because she needs to hear this from her friends and she will sure as hell be attacked for this by her enemies, and it will be megaphoned throughout the media, and foreign donations and paid speeches and hustling gold mining deals by her brother are entirely legitimate issues that are self-created, and must self-corrected before it is too late….and I do not believe the Clintons fully understand the magnitude and immediacy of the danger in the current political and media climate…..Brent”

Excellent post from Podesta. Shows crime.

“Her candidacy and the Democratic Party could be destroyed.” Could be? Nope. Already is destroyed in the present moment. St. Jude, please continue to pray for us.

It's not from Podesta, its from some columnist at, I think, the Hill. I found this message a week ago and was intrigued, didn't know who he was and searched for all his stuff. The picture that emerged was he is a guy who thinks he's super smart and fancied himself an insider who sent unsolicited advice to Podesta, who it seems ignored it but feigned interest because he didn't want to lose the guy's support. He was a Bernie guy who was advising Podesta to have Clinton run more to the left after she dispatched Bernie.

His instincts on the corruption of the Clinton Foundation were correct, but he was a columnist so why didn't he publish that? Hmmm? No intellectual honesty, that's why.

Hwy dude, a girl has to make some money to pay bills.

Hillary Clinton only draws a $250,000 a year salary from her Hillary Clinton For President campaign coffers

Amazing! John Podesta and Trey Gowdy agree, Hillary created all of her problems.

Best . election . ever!

If the Trump family starts up a news network, Sharyl Attkinson needs to be their first-round draft pick.

Note. This warning was in March 2015.

This self-admitted Budkowsky-hack-shill is a so-called journalist for The Hill.
