DNC wikileaks:... consistency through keeping people ignorant

Q: HRC meetings with Goldman and others?
I dunno. But I did public speaking. Its fun
Q: What do you think she is giving away in those meetings?
She doesn't want the people knowing about her relationships on Wall Street She wants to achieve consistency and the best way to do that is to keep the people ignorant

4. Released Emails Suggest the D.N.C. Derided the Sanders Campaign.

'Top officials at the Democratic National Committee criticized and mocked Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont during the primary campaign, even though the organization publicly insisted that it was neutral in the race, according to committee emails made public on Friday by WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks posted almost 20,000 emails sent or received by a handful of top committee officials and provided an online tool to search through them. While WikiLeaks did not reveal the source of the leak, the committee said last month that Russian hackers had penetrated its computer system.

Among the emails released on Friday were several embarrassing messages that suggest the committee’s chairwoman, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, and other officials favored Hillary Clinton over Mr. Sanders — a claim the senator made repeatedly during the primaries.

In one of the emails, dated May 21, Mark Paustenbach, a committee communications official, wrote to a colleague about the possibility of urging reporters to write that Mr. Sanders’s campaign was “a mess” after a glitch on the committee’s servers gave it access to Clinton voter data.

“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess,” Mr. Paustenbach wrote to Luis Miranda, the communications director for the committee.

Mr. Miranda wrote back: “True, but the Chair has been advised to not engage. So we’ll have to leave it alone.”'>>>

I talked to speaker Ryan at 9:30 in the evening, he still had more meetings. This man is a real patriot. He gets up early and works late. He’s a perfect example of a citizen servant leader. He’s very concerned of America. His heart I believe is in the right place. And, you know, I just wanted to talk to him about some of the missed interpretations of Donald Trump before the meeting. Donald Trump is not a politician, does not use political speak, he’s not polished and the same problem that I had. The people understand you but the media certainly does not. So you know I reinterpreted some of the things that he had said. When he comes out and said he’s not big on entitlement reforms, you have to listen to all that he’s saying. What he’s saying is that’s not the first thing that you want to deal with when you have an economy that’s totally an elect. When people have opportunities, at that point, you can talk about entitlement reform. That’s the kind of thing to do. There are a number of issues that’s simply are not fully explained and you get the wrong impression.
