Benghazi investigation

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/9272 (June 25, 2015)
    • "OFF RECORD, if pressed on whether we are essentially admitting the possibility that she deleted some emails"
    • "They do not plan to release anything publicly, so no posting online or anything public-facing, just to the committee. That said, they are considering placing a story with a friendly at the AP (Matt Lee or Bradley Klapper), that would lay this out before the majority on the committee has a chance to realize what they have and distort it."

Bimbo Dickins

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2301 (January 10, 2016)
    • "I had a multi-email exchange with someone in the media this morning---a name you would know---who is telling me that there are people close to the Clintons who says WJC's sex life could be damaging to her. I responded that I totally disagree with that, that WJC's presidency and his personal appeal are huge assets and that I do not believe people who are the closest to the Clintons believe what this person in the media is hearing from somebody."

Climate change / Environment

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8248 (June 23, 2015)
    • I don't recall any polling to guide us, but I'd be a bit nervous about rushing to say we'd never support such a tax. Bernie I assume DOES support such a tax and it could be fodder for him if we say unequivocally now that we don't support one. To be clear: it's lethal in the general, so I don't want to support one. But don't want to give bernie contrast right now. So if there's a way to re-state principles and say she'll announce something in the next few weeks, that would be great."

Clinton Foundation / Foreign donations

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2874 (November 13, 2011)
    • "I'm also starting to worry that if this story gets out, we are screwed. Dk and I built a business. 65 people work for us who have wives and husbands and kids, they all depend on us. Our business has almost nothing to do with the clintons, the foundation or cgi in any way. The chairman of ubs could care a less about cgi."
    • Doug Band is worried about something being exposed
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6775 (November 22, 2011)
    • "Unless Sheikh Mo has sent us a $6 million check, this sounds crazy to do."
    • "Crazy" for Bill Clinton to waste time talking to Shiekh Mohammed
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3332 (December 15, 2011)
    • "Late last night, laura graham called me as she couldn't reach my brother or her shrink. She was on staten island in her car parked a few feet from the waters edge with her foot on the gas pedal and the car in park. She called me to tell me the stress of all of this office crap with wjc and cvc as well as that of her family had driven her to the edge and she couldn't take it anymore. I spent a while on the phone with her preventing her from doing that, as I have a few times in the past few months, and was able to reach roger and her shrink."
    • A fascinating email that details some of the stress-induced mental health problems suffered by Laura Graham (Clinton Foundation COO), and others
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8396 (April 16, 2012)
    • Qatar gave Bill Clinton a $1 million check for his birthday in 2011
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/5469 (November 19, 2014)
    • "We should be thoughtful about any group that wants to rent Friend of Hillary list now because there is interest. This is also probably best discussed off email."
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6900 (March 21, 2015)
    • "foreign donations and paid speeches and hustling gold mining deals by her brother are entirely legitimate issues that are self-created, and must self-corrected before it is too late"
    • Brent (who?) sends a concerned email to John Podesta about Clinton's overt corruption
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4102 (March 27, 2015)

    • " Putting on all of your radars that Grassley sent a letter to AG Lynch (dated June 30th though we just saw it) asking questions about contributions to the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal. Letter is attached. Craig is connecting with comms team to be sure they are aware as well."

Democratic Primary rigging

  • https://www.wikileaks.com/podesta-emails/emailid/5613 (December 9, 2014)

    • "FYI--Lehane called me about CA primary and I told him that the operating strategy is to keep blue states late (i.e. don't move CA). He said he was at dinner with you and was under the impression that you wanted to move it earlier. He's wondering how to proceed and I said I'd try to get us on the same page and go back with an answer. Are you ok with me saying that we both want CA to stay where it is?"

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2986 (July 15, 2015)

    • "Won't stop assuring Sens Brown and Heitkamp (at dinner now) that HRC has personally told Tim Kaine he's the veep."
    • Tim Kaine was picked as the VP as early as July, 2015 (not inherently meaningful, but supports the theory that he was promised VP if he steps down as DNC chair so DWS can help Hillary win the nomination)
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4930 (March 13, 2016)
    • "John, the Roberts bill will be introduced on Monday night and it is now highly likely that a very bad "compromise" version will pass the senate this week and be approved by the House and on its way to the White House within a very short period. I can promise you that if President Obama signs this terrible legislation that blatantly validates Bernie's entire campaign message about Wall Street running our government, this will give Bernie a huge boost and 10,000 -20,000 outraged citizens ( who WILL turn up because they will be so angry at the President for preemption vt) will be marching on the Mall with Bernie as their keynote speaker. In short, I feel certain that Obama (who famously promised on camera to implement mandatory GMO labeling) signing this bill will result in adding at least another month or more of money and attention to the Sanders campaign. To avoid this, this bill can still be stopped if the WH and Clinton campaign come down now on the 12-14 farm state dems who Roberts will need to pass this compromise."
    • Gary Hirshberg (CEO) advises campaign to leverage the White House against Bernie

DOJ/FBI collusion

Duplicity

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/927 (April 24, 2013)
    • "You just have to sort of figure out how to -- getting back to that word, "balance" -- how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that's not just a comment about today. That, I think, has probably been true for all of our history, and if you saw the Spielberg movie, Lincoln, and how he was maneuvering and working to get the 13th Amendment passed, and he called one of my favorite predecessors, Secretary Seward, who had been the governor and senator from New York, ran against Lincoln for president, and he told Seward, I need your help to get this done. And Seward called some of his lobbyist friends who knew how to make a deal, and they just kept going at it. I mean, politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position. And finally, I think -- I believe in evidence-based decision making. I want to know what the facts are. I mean, it's like when you guys go into some kind of a deal, you know, are you going to do that development or not, are you going to do that renovation or not, you know, you look at the numbers. You try to figure out what's going to work and what's not going to work." - Speech to National Multi-Housing Councel, April 24, 2013
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3990 (March 13, 2016)
    • "Beyond this Hillary should stop attacking Bernie, especially when she says things that are untrue, which candidly she often does. I am one of the people with credibility to suggest Bernie people support her in November, and she and Benenson and others have no idea of the damage she does to herself with these attacks, which she does not gain by making."
    • Sent by Brent Budowsky
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/5423 (March 20, 2016)
    • "So here's my idea. Bernie and his people have been bitching about super delegates and the huge percentage that have come out for Hillary. Since the original idea was to bring our elected officials to the convention ex-officio ( because of the offices and the constituencies they represent), why not throw Bernie a bone and reduce the super delegates in the future to the original draft of members of the House and Senate, governors and big city mayors, eliminating the DNC members who are not State chairs or vice-Chairs. (Frankly, DNC members don't really represent constituencies anyway. I should know. I served on the DNC first as Executive Director and then as an elected member for 10 years.) So if we "give" Bernie this in the Convention's rules committee, his people will think they've "won" something from the Party Establishment. And it functionally doesn't make any difference anyway. They win. We don't lose. Everyone is happy."
    • Mark Siegel offering a strategy on how to win over (con) Bernie and his supporters

Election fraud

Emails, private server, FBI investigation

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2838 (May 19, 2015)
    • Clinton team scrambles to put together a statement about the recent DOJ decision to release work-related emails before Hillary appears before the press
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3855 (August 7, 2015)
    • "The statement could be read to imply we turned over the thumb drive and server to the State Department—which we didn’t"
    • Cheryl Mills and others discuss how to word an upcoming official statement by Clinton about her emails. David Kendal suggests removing a lie from the draft.

In the media:

Fake Trump protests

Gay marriage

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2631 (October 25, 2015)
    • "I think everyone agrees we shouldn't restate her argument. Question is whether she's going to agree to explicitly disavow it. And I doubt it." ("it" here are her comments on DOMA)
    • "I'm not saying double down or ever say it again. I'm just saying that she's not going to want to say she was wrong about that, given she and her husband believe it and have repeated it many times. Better to reiterate evolution, opposition to DOMA when court considered it, and forward looking stance."
    • Hillary Clinton is privately against gay marriage

Globalism

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/927
    • "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere." - Remarks to Banco Itau, May 16, 2013
    • "Secondly, I think we have to have a concerted plan to increase trade already under the current circumstances, you know, that Inter-American Development Bank figure is pretty surprising. There is so much more we can do, there is a lot of low hanging fruit but businesses on both sides have to make it a priority and it's not for governments to do but governments can either make it easy or make it hard and we have to resist, protectionism, other kinds of barriers to market access and to trade and I would like to see this get much more attention and be not just a policy for a year under president X or president Y but a consistent one." - Remarks to Banco Itau, May 16, 2013

ISIS

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/7243 (August 19, 2014)
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3774 (September 27, 2014)
    • "This entire effort should be done with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military operations that are at best temporary solutions. While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.
    • From Hillary Clinton, acknowledging the the Saudi Arabian government (not just wealthy individuals) is actively funding ISIS

Israel

Lobbying, selling influence

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2485 (December 21, 2007)

    • "Pete, need to chat with you today about a time-sensitive Treasury issue."
    • From Michael B. Froman of Citibank
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/118 (April 19, 2015)
    • "and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department."
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/927
    • “So our system is, in many ways, more difficult, certainly far more expensive and much longer than a parliamentary system, and I really admire the people who subject themselves to it. Even when I, you know, think they should not be elected president, I still think, well, you know, good for you I guess, you're out there promoting democracy and those crazy ideas of yours. So I think that it's something -- I would like -- you know, obviously as somebody who has been through it, I would like it not to last as long because I think it's very distracting from what we should be doing every day in our public business. I would like it not to be so expensive. I have no idea how you do that. I mean, in my campaign -- I lose track, but I think I raised $250 million or some such enormous amount, and in the last campaign President Obama raised 1.1 billion, and that was before the Super PACs and all of this other money just rushing in, and it's so ridiculous that we have this kind of free for all with all of this financial interest at stake, but, you know, the Supreme Court said that's basically what we're in for. So we're kind of in the wild west, and, you know, it would be very difficult to run for president without raising a huge amount of money and without having other people supporting you because your opponent will have their supporters. So I think as hard as it was when I ran, I think it's even harder now.” - Speech for General Electric's Global Leadership Meeting, January 6, 2014
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6353 (July 8, 2015)
    • "They also happy to have Sen Udall engage publicly/email/direct mail to raise money etc for Sec Clinton if desired."
    • "They, together and separately, would like to be engaged in policy conversations with appropriate Clinton campaign team esp around energy and climate issues."
    • Mark Udall and Maggie fox are happy to help raise money for Hillary! (But their backs are itchy)
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8726 (October 1, 2015)
    • "Madame Secretary/Senator: I wholeheartedly support your campaign. I've put my money where my mouth is -- twice. Not at your request, but upon my own initiative. I'm happy to contribute to you further as your campaign progresses, just as I am contributing to good Democrats like Glenn Ivey and Chris Van Hollen in their own congressional and senatorial campaigns in Maryland. They send me campaign communications once every couple of weeks, but your more-than 20 pleas for even more additional contributions in the space of less than 72 hours is absurd, annoying, and unworthy of you. Please moderate it. If you are able to appreciate that these incessant pleas are -- more than anything -- flat-out annoying, and a supreme turn-off to voters who might otherwise support you, I hope that you might ask your friends to stifle things a bit."
    • John F. Hall of NASA is annoyed by the campaign's donation pleas

Media collusion

Racism, racial politics

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/7860 (January 9, 2008)
    • "Obama (owe-BAHM-uh)'s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world's most populous Islamic country."
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6195 (January 14, 2016)
    • "This is great. My edits are attached. The only flag here is that Jordan Davis was killed by a white man, so arguably - this crime was racially motivated, which takes this outside the discussion of gun violence. Was there another mother in the Chicago meeting where the shooting was NOT racially motivated? If yes, we should use that story instead of Jordan Davis."

Super PAC collusion

In the media:

TPP

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6616 (March 25, 2015)
    • "This draft assumes that she's ultimately going to support both TPA and TPP."
    • An early draft of her weasel-worded stance on TPP, which she later came out against (because of Bernie)
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8452 (April 13, 2015)
    • "I talked to Marlon today about this. Naturally we should not be making this decision in a policy vacuum or just because we are concerned about a story of her changing her mind or taking on Obama. It is so much bigger than this. Getting on the wrong side of Labor on the only issue they care about has ramifications on the ground in these early states. I say we suck it up and be as definitive as possible from the beginning that we don’t like these deals. We will be right with voters and right with labor. We get no integrity gold star for staying pure on this issue because of one line if friggin Hard Choices or because this is a key issue for a lame duck president."
    • Clinton camp deciding to come out against the TPP for political reasons

Violence, threats

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/5705 (January 21, 2016)
    • " I know you were probably kidding this morning about me in NH. I am aware of your dark sense of humor. But I should say that I would do whatever Hillary needs always. I owe her a lot. And I'm a loyal soldier. I think I might not be so useful because I overly focus on the lessons of the past but if there's something I should do to help campaign more I will do it. Let's hope it doesn't come to this and she wins Iowa."
    • Neena Tanden sends a very eerie sounding email in response to a "dark" joke.
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6008 (February 9, 2016)
    • "Didn't think wet works meant pool parties at the Vineyard."
    • "I am all in. Sounds like it will be a bad nite , we all need to buckle up and double down"
    • "Wet works" is slang for assassination, esp. covert
    • Sent the night of the New Hampshire primary (possibly what "bad nite" refers to)
    • Sent three days before the murder of Antonin Scalia (no proof of this being related, though Scalia's death has some rather suspicious details surrounding it: no autopsy, declared dead over the phone, story about pillow over his face redacted)
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6423 (February 21, 2016)

Wall Street

  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/927
    • "That was one of the reasons that I started traveling in February of '09, so people could, you know, literally yell at me for the United States and our banking system causing this everywhere. Now, that's an oversimplification we know, but it was the conventional wisdom. And I think that there's a lot that could have been avoided in terms of both misunderstanding and really politicizing what happened with greater transparency, with greater openness on all sides, you know, what happened, how did it happen, how do we prevent it from happening? You guys help us figure it out and let's make sure that we do it right this time. And I think that everybody was desperately trying to fend off the worst effects institutionally, governmentally, and there just wasn't that opportunity to try to sort this out, and that came later." - Speech to Goldman Sachs, October 24, 2013
    • "Well, I represented all of you for eight years. I had great relations and worked so close together after 9/11 to rebuild downtown, and a lot of respect for the work you do and the people who do it, but I do -- I think that when we talk about the regulators and the politicians, the economic consequences of bad decisions back in '08, you know, were devastating, and they had repercussions throughout the world. - Speech to Goldman Sachs, October 24, 2013
    • "Remember what Teddy Roosevelt did. Yes, he took on what he saw as the excesses in the economy, but he also stood against the excesses in politics. He didn't want to unleash a lot of nationalist, populistic reaction. He wanted to try to figure out how to get back into that balance that has served America so well over our entire nationhood. Today, there's more that can and should be done that really has to come from the industry itself, and how we can strengthen our economy, create more jobs at a time where that's increasingly challenging, to get back to Teddy Roosevelt's square deal. And I really believe that our country and all of you are up to that job." - Speech to Deutsche Bank, October 7, 2014
    • "I mean, it's still happening, as you know. People are looking back and trying to, you know, get compensation for bad mortgages and all the rest of it in some of the agreements that are being reached. There's nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad. How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry. And I think there has to be a recognition that, you know, there's so much at stake now, I mean, the business has changed so much and decisions are made so quickly, in nano seconds basically. We spend trillions of dollars to travel around the world, but it's in everybody's interest that we have a better framework, and not just for the United States but for the entire world, in which to operate and trade.” - Speech to Deutsche Bank, October 7, 2014
    • "When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even though I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn't get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since." - Speech at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd in San Diego, September 4, 2014
  • https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8086 (November 23, 2015)
    • "I think we could come up with a vanilla characterization that challenges the idea that she sucked up to these folks in her appearances, but then use AP's raising of this to our advantage to pitch someone to do an exclusive by providing at least the key excerpts from this Deutsche Bank speech. In doing so, we could have the reporting be sourced to a "transcript obtained by [news outlet]" so it is not confirmed as us selectively providing one transcript while refusing to share others."
    • Brian Fallon suggests challenging Clinton's alleged close Wall Street ties by intentionally leaking some of the less-damning excerpts from one of the Deutsche Bank speech, and Mandy Grunwald points out existing leaked excerpts that invalidate this narrative

    • "We don't need to prove he's bad on Wall Street-- that's not really credible. We need to prove we're ok. Most of all, we don't want this fight."
    • "If you want to make the question of the campaign, who will best stand up to Wall Street, Sanders is the answer and he'll give you $35 million reasons why."
    • Clinton camp knows she's weak on Wall Street, doesn't want it to be a central campaign issue
