Good call, I have to agree with you.
I read hte whole thing, looked at the recipient list, don’t see a thing that has anything to do with Hillary. Most of the recipients are at Politico or huffington post.
Not a thing here to link it to Hillary that I can see, wasn’t even sent to her.
The one thing I do see that makes this a curiosity, and the other email quoted below, is that Hillary still wants to see mass immigration into this country, after reading about what a mess it’s been to Europe in these emails.
I know it wasn’t sent to her, but surely someone showed it to her or talked to her about it, most likely Podesta, since he supposedly read it, he is on the recipient list. I know if I had read it I would certainly bring it to a candidate’s attention, at least as a “heads up”. This is what you’re promoting?
Nothing here that indicts Hillary though, that I can see. It may show Podesta was careless if he didn’t question her motives after reading this, that’s about all I can see that is even remotely damaging to her or her group.
Nothingburger.
You can't even be sure Podesta read it. If you look carefully, you'll notice that the email was sent to Podesta's georgetown.edu address. So, why was it in his Gmail account?
Gmail has the ability to use POP3 to pull email from up to 5 other email accounts, and consolidate it into your Gmail box. You can select an option to automatically archive the email, so it will never even show up in your inbox.
These messages from Podesta are a combination of personal and business email. Just enter "Apple" as a keyword, and you'll see all the promotional email that was send to his Apple ID. It beggars belief to assume that Hillary saw anything he didn't forward directly to her.
And even if he did, Hillary wouldn't have read such a long message without printing it. Her email is full of one line replies to the effect of "please print", forwarding the message to one of her staff.
Some suggest that the guy is just a crank sending out email to a bunch of people. The addresses are mostly media, but there are a few personal email addresses, and it's not clear how he got those.
In the Podesta emails published so far, there are three emails from that address:
There are none sent to orca100, so Podesta never replied, or received a message that included orca100 on the distribution.
I also checked: orca100 is not on any of the emails in the Hillary Clinton archive.
One interesting thing: the mail that started this discussion was sent to a long list of recipients. But the other two messages were addressed only to Podesta.
None of this has any connection to Hillary. But, the relationship between orca100 and Podesta is curious.
