WikiLeaks released a trove of emails apparently hacked from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman email account, unleashing thousands of messages that reveal for the first time excerpts of Clinton’s paid speeches — including those delivered before Wall Street — that were flagged as problematic or potentially damaging.

The late-Friday release came almost immediately after a devastating tape emerged of Donald Trump in 2005 talking about how being “a star” entitled him to make aggressive sexual advances on women, fueling speculation that WikiLeaks is trying to tip the balance of the election.

The batch of emails — which Wikileaks promised is the first of many more to come — provided a glimpse into the inner workings of the campaign, and offered telling details about Clinton’s views on trade and the middle class.

In one of the most notable exchanges, Clinton campaign research director Tony Carrk emails other members of the team on Jan. 25, 2016 to share excerpts of her paid speeches that could come back to bite the campaign.

No, that's not the actual headline, but it is the REAL headline!

1. And it's probably altered.

[Foggyhill]

2. The fact it seemingly was also a fabrication

Hé doesn't give a shit

3. It's stupid and complicated and probably bogus.

And it doesn't have "pussy" in it.
So fuck it.

4. I'm a reader and love to read presidential bios and history in general

From what I've seen of what is considered potentially damaging are statements based on a global economy, the need for more complex collaborative global leadership models and the need for nation states due to economic uncertainty to develop more expansive social supports for citizens - healthcare for all, free post secondary education, quality childcare, etc.

5. The interesting thing is that this Access Hollywood video has completely overshadowed

this WikiLeaks dump.

Is anyone even talking about the "emails" ?

6. That's politics: you didn't think the GOP and Russia were going to take this sitting down, did you?

So, they created their own October surprise.

7. They don't look that damaging to me

Only the trade one is problematic but it can be explained as a dream and not a plan. I read elsewhere about her discussing public versus private positions. I have a hunch that wouldn't be as bad if it was put into context.

8. Assange is in Putin's pocket.

He's in cahoots with the Russians to get Trump elected. That is my opinion.

9. Assange should get out more. nt
