Subject: Tomorrow - Pablo Farewell Happy Hour

Hi Teams,

I’m leaving DNC to takeover as VP of Comms at the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. This is my last week here. My farewell happy hour, if you haven’t seen the invite yet on Facebook. . .

Beyond that, thanks for the memories. It’s been great reducing Republican campaigns to rubble with you, as well running easily the election’s top booking operation…if not the best progressive politics has ever seen. Final broadcast booking count over the last 12 months is nearly 300 hits, roughly half in Spanish and half in English, which is amazing.

Plus Javier Gamboa for DCCC awareness.

My civilian contact info is below.

Hugs,
Pablo

Working at the DNC Sounds Very Cool (Except Not at All)
The DNC leak has revealed the true hero of the Democratic party. His name is Pablo and he no longer works there.

This week Wikileaks released a trove of hacked emails from the DNC that it obtained from hackers associated with the Russian government. Considering the timing of the release (right before the Democratic National Convention), it seems at least somewhat clear that Russia is doing what it can to put its finger on the scales and push the election toward Trump. As TPM put it: “Trump & Putin. Yes, it’s really a thing.” Of course for the leak to be able to move the needle there would have to be some major news hidden within its 20,000 emails and as of now, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Sure it seems like some members of the DNC preferred Hillary to Bernie, but the fact that Bernie was able to keep the campaign so close and take it so deep into the season, would indicate that any claims of conspiracy are pretty unfounded. If the system were rigged, Hillary would have locked the thing up months earlier than she did.

So no. No bombshells have come out from this leak as of yet, but one thing that has come out of it is a hero. And that hero’s name is Pablo Manriquez, the former media booker for the DNC. Here’s one exchange from earlier this May that has gone viral from the emails.

Pablo, What’s the status of tomorrow’s CNN AM hit? Can we move it closer to the 820 POTUS hit? If not we may have to pull the plug. Let us know ASAP. Thanks, Ryan

They structured their whole show on that we’ll make news in the 6am hour. We told them a time. They took care of us. Now they’re all asleep. Are we really going to screw them over on our mistake???

FROM: Kate Houghton
TO: Pablo Manriquez (and others)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
Pablo calm it down buddy. We just asked a question. You can deal with DWS (EDITOR’S NOTE: DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz) the am if you want.

SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
I’ll staff, no prob. I don’t mind being the guy who has to get up early. But the guy who doesn’t deliver? No way.

SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
You have no clue what you are asking for.

FROM: Pablo Manriquez
TO: Kate Houghton (and others, though fewer than before)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
Smaller Group — Oh I know what I asked for and you approved this morning. Sooo…for approval:

Dear CNN, Don’t book us anymore because we can’t read a calendar.

Dear CNN, Pls have Trump call-in and set the news cycle against us instead, per usual. Either way, they’re not going to change their rundown. I’ll try and book Luis.

TO: Kate Houghton, Pablo Manriquez (and others)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
Pablo is getting out of hand but he’s right, we should have her out on this and if we lose 6:20 we lose the hit, period.

FROM: Kate Houghton
TO: Pablo Manriquez (and others)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
Pablo fuck off

Ryan is asking one question at the guidance of Debbie. Come on. This is ridiculous. Just tell us no and move the fuck on.

Adding my team to so they know exactly where you all stand on this.

I will let DWS know.

FROM: Luis Miranda
TO: Kate Houghton, Pablo Manriquez (and others)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
Agree with Kate. After you finish fucking off, Pablo, you can lock it in. The Chair is good for the early hit per Ryan just now.

FROM: Pablo Manriquez
TO: Luis Miranda, Kate Houghton (and others)
SUBJECT: Re: CNN tomorrow morning
After much ado, they can do 6:40AM. That’s 20 minutes later than the 6:20AM we agreed to. From CNN, the phrase “honor your commitment” came up five times in three conversations just now. So it’s good we’re doing that.
These emails are incredible. Pablo’s frustration totally matches the frustration that so many of us have with the DNC. It often seems like news cycles are lost due to sheer incompetency and to see someone in the shop calling them out on it and demanding that they not continue to blow it is incredible. Pablo no longer works at the DNC, having moved on to a new job, but lord knows the committee could use the exact kind of discipline he seems to want of them.
