WikiLeaks Posts 2,000 More Emails From John Podesta (cnn.com)
WikiLeaks has released an additional 2,000 emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta -- the second leak in four days. The first leak contained thousands of emails from Podesta, including apparent excerpts from Ms Clinton's paid, closed-door speeches to Wall Street executives after leaving her position as Secretary of State. CNN reports: The emails appear to be mostly from 2015, covering a litany of policy and strategy discussions between Clinton staffers on how to handle issues of the day and the press, including the release of the book "Clinton Cash" alleging nefarious activity by the Clinton Foundation. Another email has long-time Clinton aide Doug Band referring to Chelsea Clinton as a "spoiled brat." Doug Band emailed Podesta and longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills about a damning story about his consulting company, Teneo, by lashing out at Chelsea Clinton. "I don't deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things," Band wrote. "She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life." The emails also revealed that Clinton wanted to respond more forcefully to "Clinton Cash," the 2015 book that looked to connect Clinton Foundation actions and decisions made by Hillary Clinton's State Department. According to an email from another close aide, Huma Abedin, Clinton wanted to tape a straight-to-camera video responding to the allegations. Clinton campaign responded to the release by slamming the Trump campaign for "cheering on a release today engineered by Vladimir Putin," after Trump adviser Jason Miller tweeted a link to the document page with the phrase "And here...we...go."
Deny Deny Deny, Distract, Distract, Distract. Sorry folks, but if you are just now waking up you may want to go back to sleep. Politics is full of criminals and criminal actions, each trying to cover up for each other. The media has been in on the scam, as has been Department heads in charge of prosecuting wrong doing.
It's going to take me a while to read through this lot, I'm not done with the last dump. You can bet your ass the Media won't bother with this, because 11 years ago Trump said the P word. For the people focusing on that instead of actual political corruption, you deserve what is planned by the Left.

Wait, Snowden — hiding in Russia is a hero for his exposes, but Assange — hiding in London — is a "KGB agent" for his?..
The only known instance of an American politician covertly seeking Russian help in exchange for favorable policy changes is that of Ted Kennedy (struggling against Ronald Reagan) — the Democratic "lion" and otherwise a hero of everything Progressive.
Secretary Clinton lied yesterday, when she claimed, Trump is the first to be accused of collaborating with Russia. And, while accusations against Trump are completely unsubstantiated, those against Kennedy are backed by the KGB's archives...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
If anything He's been helpful.
Don't make the mistake of assuming the Slashdot echo chamber is representative of the general voting public. (The people that remain here lean nutbag-libertarian) The past few leaks paint her in a very favorable light for to business republicans - The exact demographic that's been Alienated by Trump.
Free trade? Open borders? They love that stuff. This last batch is basically a bunch of business emails. They completely lack any scandal-quality bombs that would make a huge election difference.
He's also helping drive home the narrative that links Trump and the Alt-right to Russia's alternate channel political meddling that's been going around the globe.
At this point I'd be more likely to call Assange a Clinton plant.
Bad news about Brexit, it's already going badly wrong and the predictions that the experts made are coming true. The Pound is lower than it's been for decades, business is not interesting.
People are realising that their feelings aren't a substitute for expert advice. It's an huge failure of democracy, both the post-factual campaign and the fact that now our PM keeps saying "Brexit means Brexit" but no one knows what people actually voted for.

I do understand that he paid it back. His father was pretty adamant about that. But yeah, he wasn't born into poverty by any means. Unlike so many of that set though he did manage to make a lot of money which he lost then made more then lost that and then made more. Reminds me of Ted Turner who also went bankrupt several times. Those guys are risk takers and wheeler dealers whereas Hilliary is a parasite who has become a multi-millionaire in government service. I know I trust him about -10 on a 1 to 10 scale and her about - 100 billion. He'll probably screw us over and she certainly will. It's not a good choice anywhere I look.
Assange doesn't even REALLY believe he's a target of America. If he did he would stop leaking this stuff. Anyone else remember when wikileaks said it would release documents about Russia? Then the Russian security service threatened them publicly? And then they haven't released any anti-Russia stuff since? Assange even removed anti-Russian documents from the Syria release.
