Democratic nominee Hillary Clintons campaign chairman John Podesta said it was a major understatement when an important Clinton Foundation figure described Chelsea Clinton as not smart, a newly-leaked email reveals.
The 2012 email is from the latest batch of leaked communications put out by the online hacktivist group Wikileaks. In the email, Podesta responds to Doug Band, a former Bill Clinton assistant who helped found the Clinton Global Initiative.
Band was irate because Chelsea had apparently launched an internal investigation of the Clinton Foundations finances, and then told one of former President George W. Bushs twin daughters about it. The information had then made its way to a Republican operative. (RELATED: Chelsea Launched Internal Investigation Of Clinton Foundation)
I have heard more and more chatter of [Chelsea] and bari talking about lots of what is going on internally to people, Band complains in the exchange. Not smart.
Podestas response is brief but leaves his thoughts very clear.
You are perfecting your skills for understatement, he says.

...I got a six figure a year job at NBC News despite to Jounalusm experience it training. But high quality reporters were ignored because of who my parents are.
That GHASTLY child!!
My take on this is she is so stupid she did not know the “foundation” was a criminal enterprise. The foundation is basically a cover for the extortion racket. See, you donate to the foundation AND you pay billy or Hitlery directly or through others a “speaking fee” or as honorary directorships or some crap. The foundation pays for their entourage including their attorneys and campaign people. The adolescent crook probably stumbled onto some misapplication of funds by some of the staff and figured her parents were not aware of it or did not care as long as it did not get out of proportion. If anyone got out of proportion, Arkancide took care of it. Anyway, her looking into it would open a can of worms. Recall there was a rapid change of a foundation director a few years ago along with the insiders not happy with the addition of the JV criminal.
telling one of the bush twins is like telling one of moms good friends...I am sure everything went to the bush twins dad and then from there went back to Hillary... Chelsea’s life insurance policy is that she is Hillary’s daughter and because of that is seen by Hillary as her child And to be protected like any piece of property.
Agreed.
That is also why Hillary would be in deep denial that her daughter could spy on her.
Chelsea isn’t that bright—but folks forget she brought in some very bright Stanford classmates.
All of them were idealists who learned that the Clinton Foundation was not what they thought it was.
Nanna goes to prison.....
Just like GRAMPA did!
What Band said was "talking to people about stuff going on internally" was "not smart" -- as in "not a good idea", or "not a good choice".
Chelsea's actions were "not smart". That's a different connotation.
Context is everything. And taking something out of context is what the lamestream media does to Trump. We shouldn't be stooping to that level.
There is plenty of stuff that is unquestionably wrong. We don't need to focus on the innuendo.
Yes...infighting! Makes perfect sense. Why would she blab to a bushie unless they had some involvement?
This poor girl. Coyote ugly even after all the surgery and stylists.
Exactly. She’s “not smart” in the wiseguy sense. I can picture Bobby DeNiro wagging his finger at Chelsea saying it.
Telling one of the Bush twins was simply taking out a life insurance policy.BFD! Their daddy and grandpa are in on the take too.
The Bush silence on Hillary and the Clinton scam in general is deafining.
Oh, and while I'm at it shouldn't the President, Chief law enforcement officer, be calling for the just-us dept. to investigate, actually charge Hillary rather than campaign for her? Any guesses why he's acting so nervous about her election?
Just wait till she throws his skinny black ass under the bus, it's only a matter of time.
Best thread of the day!
“At least Chelsea seems more honest than her parents.”
Is there anyway she could be less honest?
Quite a few of the GOPe. Why do you this garbage like Romney, McCain, Yeb! etc Remember the Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the elite ruling uniparty.
She could claim that she actually worked for the $600,000 per year that NBC paid her as a "correspondent."
This will go on probably after the election next week.
I believe that everyone is misreading this email. By saying “not smart”, he was talking about how unwise it might be to look into the finances of the CGI too closely. It wasn’t a comment about intelligence at all, as funny as that might seem.
Very likely.
Are any of these people denying writing any of these emails?
