Can you get your pall McKibben to organize Harvard student protests against him. I'm all for academic freedom when it's not bought and paid for by Peabody Coal.

One thing you can see from all the Podesta email...
The Clinton Machine operation is actually pretty simple.

Podesta seems to be the central clearing station for all communication.
Its also clear that the key RAT movers know it works too.
This is very inefficient but it keeps The Clinton’s safe from investigation.

I’d be willing to bet, Vince Foster used to have Podesta’s job.

To be clear:

Podesta made a request to Steyer.

The request was for Steyer to ask McKibben to organize student protests against Laurence Tribe.

Steyer replied: "I'm on it".

Tribe is a professor at the Harvard Law School:

I thought I remembered a fawning email from Tribe to Podesta. But, I can't find it at the moment. I'll keep looking.

Larry Tribe = Lawrence Tribe, one of the most celebrated and vaunted legal minds in the nation?

And this is how he spends his time? Organizing Potemkin Village protests?

I found the email from Tribe:

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/1190

It's actually a letter from Tribe to Valerie Jarrett after Obama was elected in 2008.

Read the whole thing -- it's an exercise in brown-nosing.

But, the final reply from Todd Stern may be dismissive:

Maybe we could do this and put his office in Alston.

I'm not sure what "Alston" may be. It's one of the names on a law firm with offices in DC. Or, maybe it's a location intended to put Tribe "out of the way".

Podesta may hold a grudge against Tribe because he supported Clinton over Obama in 2008.

It sounds like it was against Tribe, but there is no reasoning.

What was Tribe doing - something pro-coal? Pro-fossil?

Perhaps you should read the email more carefully.

Tribe was the target of the protest.

McKibben evidently doesn’t know God is in charge of our carbon emission.

Lawrence “Lost” Tribe was at the forefront of the protest to remove the Commonwealth Day School from Brattle St. in Cambridge. The school was for underprivileged Black Children and the “Beautiful People” were aghast....

Allston is the neighborhood across the Charles River from Cambridge, where Harvard is expanding. So I guess Stern means that if Tribe had this position, his office would be near Harvard.

I knew Tribe had something to do with FL in 2000 but couldn’t remember exactly what....None of these names ever leave our minds - just the roles and they are always recirculating..

“”Tribe was part of Al Gore’s legal team regarding the results of the United States presidential election, 2000. Due to the close nature of the vote count, recounts had been initiated in Florida, and the recounts had been challenged in court. Tribe argued the initial case in Federal Court in Miami in which they successfully argued that the court should not stop the recount of the votes which was taking place and scheduled to take place in certain counties.[19] David Boies argued for the Gore team in a related matter in the Florida State Courts regarding the dates that Secretary of State of Florida Katherine Harris would accept recounts.[19] When the original Federal case, Bush v Gore, was appealed, Gore and his advisers decided at the last minute to have Boies instead of Tribe argue the case at the Supreme Court.[19] The court determined that recounts of votes should cease and that accordingly George W. Bush had been elected President.””
