Clinton Campaign Considered Bill Gates, Tim Cook For Vice President (theverge.com)
WikiLeaks has been releasing thousands of emails over the past couple of weeks belonging to Hillary Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta. One of the more interesting tidbits revealed from the email dump was the list of potential running mates considered by Clinton's campaign. The Verge reports: Clinton's vice presidential candidates, while not altogether surprising, include some vaguely interesting choices like Bill and Melinda Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra. In the mail, Podesta says he has organized the list into "rough food groups," one of which includes all the people mentioned above. Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and Starbucks CEO Howard Shultz are also in this "food group," along with Michael Bloomberg. With just under 40 names on the list, it's not immediately obvious how close any of these people came to actually being asked to take on the role (Tim Kaine is on the list).
Indeed, because when I'm looking for credible recording, and not fakery and setup jobs, I always turn to James OKeefe. Gold standard in credibility right there.
In case you didn't notice, your "Podesta email" is from:
ilyse@moveon.org
to:
bigcampaign@googlegroups.com
The latter, is of course, a mailing list. A mailing list that we don't know whether the subscriber even actively read. In short, the "story" here is that MoveOn was staging anti-Trump protests. OMG, you don't say? I never knew that ;)
The internet is not a series of tubes. It's more like a net. Or a network of computers. Or an internet.

How many times do you have to be burned by James O'Keefe before you stop paying attention to anything he does or says? If you weren't so credulous, you wouldn't have Trump as your candidate.
