Why was the CEO of Newsmax emailing Hillary’s current Campaign Chairman John Podesta about meetings with conservative leaders in DC? And is mega-Clinton Foundation Clinton Foundation donor, Christopher Ruddy using his website to encourage millions of Americans to walk away from Trump and vote for Hillary?
Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of the “conservative” cable TV and news website Newsmax became famous in the late 90’s for his conspiracy theory that the former Clinton White House aid Vince Foster was murdered and that he did not commit suicide. He actually wrote a bestseller book titled, “The Strange Death Of Vincent Foster.” In 1997 Ruddy said the suspicious death of Vince Foster made Watergate “look like child’s play.”
Fast-forward to February 2014, to find Ruddy curiously making a $1 MILLION donation to the Clinton Foundation.
In February 2015, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy told the Wall Street Journal, “Hillary would make a great President.” In the latest Wikileaks email dump #9, it appears that Chris Ruddy was allegedly in communication with Hillary’s current campaign chairman, John Podesta about helping to coordinate a meeting with conservative leaders and US Congressman Mario Diaz Balart (R-FL) on July 7th.
The first Wikileaks email dated, June 10, 2014 allegedly from “conservative” CEO of Newmax Chris Ruddy to John Podesta appears to be a follow-up to a previous email where Chris Ruddy informs Podesta he will be in DC during the week of June 23rd. The email was then forwarded to the White House and marked “priority.”

Chris Ruddy? Hard to believe — champion of the Strange Death of Ron Brown even five years later. Has anyone checked out the sourcing here? I’m not familiar with it.
Is there any direct link to wikileaks established here yet?
I’ll start bringing full emails here to vet this.
I have trouble believing Ruddy would sell out.
Will post to ‘all’

From:ruddy@newsmax.com To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2014-06-25 19:22 Subject: House bill, etc John, Thank you again for taking the time out to meet me this week. I really enjoyed our chat and meeting Celia, as well as saying hello to Denis. I had a meeting with Mario Diaz Balart today who tells me the re whipping is not going well in terms of votes. He says that they really have been hurt by the Cantor loss. He still has some additional votes to review. He Is interested in proceeding. We have agreed to cohost a meeting of conservative leaders likely the week of July 7 in DC for him to lay out his concepts. Hopefully we can gauge reaction after that meeting as well. I will let you know what I am up to. If you have any suggestions for me please feel free to share them. Thank you. Best, Chris Christopher Ruddy Sent from my iPad
[second email — ruddy to self]
From:ruddy@newsmax.com To: ruddy@newsmax.com Date: 2015-09-03 17:57 Subject: Dick & Liz Cheney on Newsmax TV Yesterday in New York, Dick Cheney and his co-author and daughter Liz Cheney kicked off their new book launch for “Exceptional.” After beginning with the must-watch MSNBC’s Morning Joe show, the Vice President and Liz visited our Newsmax TV studios on Bryant Park. The two were interviewed for Newsmax TV prime time shows The Steve Malzberg Show and The Hardline with Ed Berliner. We posted a number of stories based on these Newsmax TV interviews and they have received wide pick-up. Here are a few I thought you might enjoy: Cheney on Obama’s Motive for Iran Deal http://tinyurl.com/pmgdomn Cheney: Hillary Email Server Issues ‘Very Serious’ http://tinyurl.com/o2kfkjd Cheney on Ky.

I have read Exceptional and it’s also “exceptional!” Best, Chris Christopher Rudd
I don’t see any payoff mentioned in the email.
I do see inside baseball about whipping for a vote in 2014.

The “Oops” one is interesting...
The "inside baseball" vote is about the Gang of 8 bill and getting the House to take it up and approve it. Balart is an amnesty supporter. The defeat of Cantor by Dave Brat in the primary effectively killed off CIR. Ruddy is a tool of open borders and amnesty. He holds the Chamber of Commerce position along with the GOPe.
Given how many conservative bigwigs have turned out to be NWO lackeys, it’s no wonder we can never gain ground no matter who is in office. Thank you Donald Trump for showing who America’s enemies really are.
Thank you for the time and isight.
God bless you and FRegards ....

That got forwarded to EOP.Gov
Executive Office of the President.Gov
Priority they say? hmmm, interesting.
Apparently you missed the part where I quit listening to Rush. In order to quit I would to have been listening to him. The wool has been pulled tightly over your eyes!
If you are honest and have some integrity you will check out what he is saying now. Or you can continue to malign him.
You need to go back on the Rush threads and see just how happy /s folks are with him.
Back during the primary a lot of freepers got their panties in a wad because Rush didn't go whole hog for their candidate. Some were for Bush. Some were for Trump. Some were for Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, etc. And there was great passion as people supported their chosen candidate. What did Rush do? He discussed and analyzed the news and gave his take on things. And those who were for Cruz were mad that Rush did not come out and openly endorse their candidate. So Rush must be a RINO and they weren't going to listen to him anymore. And those who were for Trump were mad that Rush did not openly endorse Trump. And so it went. If he did not openly promote their candidate, then he was the enemy.
After the primary was over, Rush gave his support to the winner, as he has always done. That doesn't stop him from analyzing the news or critiquing the candidate when he says or does something that does not help his campaign. Rush continues to give his take on events. As I said before, if Rush, the Master Communicator, has become a never Trumper as you claim, he is doing a remarkably bad job of trashing Trump and siding with those who would much rather have Hillary running the country than Trump.
I did find it strange that after the Ron Brown coverup died down, Ruddy seemed to ‘vanish’ almost completely while NewsMax was boring and slanted in a way that irritated me.
I should have known Ruddy was active in some way. So he became a bigtime insider apparently.
His open borders agenda is downright creepy. Willing to play ball with Podesta?
Did Podesta act like a humanitarian infiltrator in the DNC or something?
I can give you the skinny on Rush Limbaugh’s reporting of Trump during the primary, but frankly we need men like Rush. He does serve his audience’s needs, and I think his favoring of Cruz was due to patriotism.
Rush was never brazenly anti-Trump [frequenly defended him], but he did favor Cruz over Trump, and for the most part I respectly disagreed until Rush tried to portray a convention rebellion [by delegates] as ‘victory’. That was a mistake. He did not realize how that would be perceived. When he did, Rush tempered his remarks.
He tried to egg on callers to Trump bash a few times. He sometimes got tricked by a Cruz phone bank [that’s how it seemed to me anyway] but the phone bank tactic always led to a massive pro-Trump backlash.
But I repeat — Rush is a patriot IMHO. Cruz lite and ‘never Hillary’.
