New Clinton emails (Wikileaks: Clinton should not spend time with minor league Sid)
WikiLeaks email by Brent Budkowsky to Podesta ^ | 10/23/2016 | Brent Budkowsky

Podest email Dump #16 ID 20327

Date 2016-01-01

John, assume I wrote a thousand words about this. It is disquieting that when HRC was secretary of state she spent a good time of time doing gossip emails with Sid Blumenthal about various matters, the ubiquitous Lanny Davis shilling for himself in pathetic ways, and Neera Tanden gossiping about what Soros thinks of Obama. At least Tanden I regard as a serious person. Sid and Lanny I do not by standards of a secretary of state or potential president.

I was not in touch with you at the time of the healthcare debate, but what Sid suggests does not strike me as your style. I was in very regular and close touch with Daschle at the time, and he would never have said to the press what Sid suggests, and since I am in the press I know those were not his views. I guarantee that based on direct personal knowledge of Tom's views and actions at the time. Blumenthal did not have the slightest idea of what he was talking about in his girlie gossip with the secretary of state about this. Why she places such great stock over so much time in these exchanges with Blumenthal is mystifying to me---and frankly troublesome.

This whole subject, to use vernacular, gives me the creeps. Secretaries of state, presidential candidates and presidents should not be spending their time on this kind of minor league stuff.

Brent Budkowsky writes for the Hill. This is his assessment of Blumnthal, Lanny Davis, and his scorn for Clinton spending time on them.

Well virtually ALL of the Clintonista confidantes are very minor league at best, and really shady shabby people.

But here is the RNC take: RNC Chairman Priebus: Hillary Is Going to Lose, ‘She’s Too Risky for This Country’

Reince cannot even raise the choler of a sympathetic journalist in criticizing Clinton.

Hey Neera is at least providing some quality entertainment value. She has a way with the character assassination phrases.

I like the descriptions of Blumethal and Davis. Confirms my opinion of both.

None of this matters. The Media, including OANN, ignore it.

In 1992, I was a Southerner who was teaching at a boarding school up in New Hampshire. I tried. but failed, to convince people up there that “Even in the South, Arkansas is a joke.” (No offense to the good people, here, from Arkansas). But, the sleazy crowd Bubba ran around with in Little Rock, and which followed him to Washington, was yes, very “minor league at best.”

I’ll never get over the fact that Lanny Davis is/was G. Gordon Liddy’s best friend. I lost all respect.

The relationship between Sidney Blumenthal and Christopher Hitchens is why contact is still ongoing. C.H. filed an affidavit testifying that his old friend White House aide Sidney Blumenthal had repeated the president’s smears about Monica Lewinsky. She is keeping tabs for old times sake—he drinks too.

the one happy thing about these creeps is that they will turn on each other...they always do....

Karma...

Podesta might want to pretend he's a good little Catholic but his karma is coming someday, somehow...
