People don’t talk about the DNC leak and John Podesta Emails enough. Not in the proper context. Yes, we get that whole smoke-screen Russian hacking narrative but that’s falling apart before our eyes. What is not falling apart because it is real and tangible are the words of Clinton Campaign and Democrat Party operatives and donors busted for a wide range of schemes, scams, and collusion.
This includes emailing Podesta to get Clinton people and White House staffers to pressure Democrat Senators into stopping a piece of legislation that could give Bernie Sander’s several weeks of free earned media and more donations.
The source of this panic is CE-YO! of Stonyfield Yogurt and big-time Obama/Hillary donor Gary Hirschberg.
“John, the Roberts bill will be introduced on Monday night and it is now highly likely that a very bad “compromise” version will pass the senate this week and be approved by the House and on its way to the White House within a very short period. I can promise you that if President Obama signs this terrible legislation that blatantly validates Bernie’s entire campaign message about Wall Street running our government, this will give Bernie a huge boost and 10,000 -20,000 outraged citizens…”
He’s referring to S.2609 – An original bill to amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national voluntary labeling standard for bioengineered foods, and for other purposes.
The Bill (and the compromise) actually undo what Bernie has is mind, and laws in place in his home state of Vermont. But as noted above it is legislation that would put national attention on Sander’s campaign putting wind (and according to Hirschberg, money) in his “sails.”
To avoid this, this bill can still be stopped if the WH and Clinton campaign come down now on the 12-14 farm state dems who Roberts will need to pass this compromise.
The Bill was effectively held up until late June. Clinton stole clinched the nomination on June 6th.
Obama quietly signed the compromise on July 26th.
The bill was one of 20 the president signed into law late on a Friday afternoon. Most of the other measures were bills officially naming Post Office facilities.
The original email (here). Here is the commentary provided by Most Damaging Wikileaks.
-
Gary Hirshberg wrote to John Podesta about how Obama needs to veto a bill to stop Bernie Sanders’ message from getting traction. (Subject: Urgent need to talk and for you to act with the WH)
-
He’s very interested to make sure this bill can never pass and never be signed into law. It would help Bernie Sanders and that would be incredibly bad in his view.
-
Gary Hirshberg is chairman and former president and CEO of a notable corporation in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is of course one of the most significant states politically in the nominating process and Hirshberg really didn’t want Bernie to win.
-
The staff promises to discuss the Hirshberg proposition of killing this bill somehow to avoid Bernie”getting a huge boost”. Podesta responds to the above: “Adding Corey. We’ll discuss.”
-
It seems they successfully blocked this bill and avoided the “huge boost for Bernie” that they were so afraid of. The original email is from an earlier batch, but Podesta’s response is significant here. Yesterday we have learned that Podesta asked “where to stick the knife” in Bernie in an email chain where they talked about making Bernie into “pulp” by various attacks. And when Podesta hears a suggestion that a Bill should be stopped, using (Obama if necessary) to “stop Bernie from getting a huge boost” what does Podesta do?
-
Does Podesta say, that’s idiotic and never email me again? No. Does Podesta say the POTUS is not your tool to try to sabotage Bernie? No. What Podesta says is “Adding Corey. We will discuss” . These people had a deep seated hatred for Bernie the as the Wikileaks documents reveal.
