Do this, not that: How the White House plans to work with Hillary Clinton’s campaign

In late March, White House press secretary Josh Earnest disclosed to reporters that he had been in touch with aides to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Earnest described the communications as taking place “in the context of my best efforts to try to answer your questions” about the controversy over her use of a private email server while at the State Department.

White House officials say those kinds of consultations between communications staff on either side have continued, in the words of one aide, “so that we don’t talk at cross-purposes on emails, or Benghazi, things like that.”

On the whole, this is not that surprising. Defending Clinton’s record in office amounts to defending the administration. And there is considerable overlap between the world of the former secretary of state’s 2016 White House campaign and President Barack Obama’s political orbit.

Clinton’s communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, held that title inside Obama’s White House. They share a political pollster, Joel Benenson. Her lead spokesman, Brian Fallon, did the same job for former Attorney General Eric Holder.

Shows they know there is damning evidence in those Benghazi emails that are missing from Hillary's "private" server. Which we all know to be the case.

Hillary must have forgotten that she lost to this clean, articulate, black, man.

I suspect she will faint one of these days and the doctor will say.."no more campaigning"

Sounds like collusion in a criminal conspiracy to thwart congressional investigation into the matter.

Isn't "coaching witnesses" and coordinating testimony illegal?

I’m surprised this thread isn’t getting more comments.

Not that any of us are surprised by the “revelations” in the article.

Josh Earnest appears to be a fitting replacement for Jay Carney who was a fitting replacement for Robert Gibbs.

Deja Poo, the feeling we have been through this crap before.

It’s almost incomprehensible except that it happens on a daily basis, it seems.
