Hacked emails released in daily dispatches this past week by the WikiLeaks group exposed the inner workings of Hillary Clinton's campaign leading up to her 2015 announcement that she would seek the presidency Cheap Air Max Thea Womens , and through this year's primary.

John Podesta, Clinton Campaign Chairman

The thousands of emails were hacked from the accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.


U.S. intelligence officials have blamed the Russian government for a series of breaches intended to influence the presidential election. The Russians deny involvement.

WHAT TO SAY ABOUT EMAIL SCANDAL


A series of exchanges among Clinton aides and her attorney in August 2015 show internal wrangling over what to say to the public about the ongoing scandal over her use of personal email and a private server.


In one conversation, speechwriter Dan Schwerin sent Podesta and top aides a suggested statement from Clinton saying that she had asked her team to "hand over my email server, as well as a thumb drive" with her emails. At the time, The Washington Post had reported that the FBI was looking into the security of the server and drive.


Clinton lawyer David Kendall pushed back on the statement's wording because it didn't specify that the server was being given to the Justice Department as opposed to the State Department Cheap Air Max 95 Womens , which was reviewing Clinton's emails for public release.


"There they go again — misleading, devious, non-transparent, tricky etc," he wrote Cheap Air Max 90 Womens , predicting how Clinton critics might respond once the full facts came out.


In a separate exchange a day later, aides wrestled with whether an open letter from Clinton should specifically reference former Secretary of State Colin Powell in arguing that she used the same email practices as her predecessors. They agreed to say that Clinton's actions had been "consistent with practice of prior secretaries" but to remove a reference in a fact-sheet to Powell.


Powell's private advice to Clinton about setting up private email later became public. In Powell's own emails that were hacked this year, he complained that Clinton's team was trying to blame him for her mistakes.


Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri in August 2015 also told her colleagues she hoped that "we could use the 'server moment' as an opportunity" for Clinton to be seen as taking a big step to deal with the controversy. But Palmieri said it was clear Clinton "is not in the same place," unless Podesta was able to get her to change her mind.

JUANITA BROADDRICK


A January 2016 email from Clinton's personal lawyer, David Kendall Cheap Air Max Womens , to Podesta followed up on a phone call to provide a history of allegations made by Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill Clinton of raping her in the late 1970s.


Broaddrick was among the three past accusers of the former president who attended last week's debate in St. Louis at the invitation of Trump. Clinton has denied the rape accusation made by Broaddrick, which was never adjudicated by a criminal court.


The documents in the WikiLeaks release include the affidavit that Broaddrick signed saying that Clinton did not assault her and the independent counsel's history of the Paula Jones case in which Broaddrick later received immunity from any prosecution for perjury if she changed her story.


"Voila! She did, disavowing her sworn affidavit and sworn deposition testimony," Kendall wrote in the email to Podesta. He concluded Cheap Nike Air Max Thea Shoes , "Please let me know if there's anything else I can provide about this slimefest."

LARRY DAVID:


It turns out both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders wanted the endorsement of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David, who portrayed Sanders on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."


In an October 2015 email, campaign chairman John Podesta asked aides if David was supporting either candidate. Clinton's campaign reached out to Hollywood director and producer Rob Reiner, who said David wasn't endorsing "because he is going to keep playing Bernie on SNL."


The email said that Sanders' campaign contacted David after his initial Sanders' skit on SNL "to ask him to endorse and he declined."

STAR POWER


As Clinton's campaign geared up in 2015, her aides hoped to procure some star power to give her a boost — someone sensational Cheap Nike Air Max 95 Shoes , but not too sensational.


Less than two weeks before her formal launch speech in New York, her scheduling director asked for a list of celebrities willing to help and said the campaign wanted options "somewhere between a high school band and Lady Gaga."


Aides quickly gave the go-ahead to using actress Julianne Moore as a surrogate and said she "might be good for launch pre-program," referring to the part of the event before Clinton was to speak. Former campaign aide Diane Hamwi said "Girls" creator Lena Dunham "will do whatever, though bit more edgy." She floated other celebrities including actors Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Shoes , Sarah Jessica Parker, Jesse Taylor Ferguson, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.


In another email, Hamwi listed musical performers who would likely help if in New York: Nick Jonas, Jon Bon Jovi Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes , Christina Aguilera, John Legend and Alicia Keys, among others. Though she misspelled her first name, Hamwi said singer Katy Perry would "find a way to be here" for the event. Clinton's aides seemed particularly excited about the possibility of getting the band The Roots.


But Clinton's scheduling director, Alex Hornbrook Cheap Air Max Thea Shoes , also had a bit of bad news: "There is no budget to fly anyone in."

WALL STREET SPEECHES


The campaign asked former President Bill Clinton to cancel a planned speech to a Wall Street investment firm last year because of concerns the Clintons might appear to be too cozy with Wall Street just as the former secretary of state was about to announce her White House bid.


Clinton aides wrote that Hillary Clinton did
