Religious leaders slam Clinton campaign over emails

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is facing new scrutiny for comments her campaign staffers made about Christian teachings and the differences between Catholics and evangelical Protestants and their political leanings in the 2016 presidential race.

The emails were leaked in the third round of releases of Podesta’s emails by WikiLeaks.

Another exchange with US President Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2012 reveals Clinton was laying the groundwork for a possible run for the White House far earlier than she has claimed.

The email stated that the hearing “is about PEOPLE and not about Hillary Clinton”, and that this approach would put “Benghazi Republicans on the defensive while siding with Americans”.

“If she picks three or four justices, she will permanently move us to the left”, Gingrich said.

“I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion”.

Clinton aides weighed having the Democratic candidate say she opposed the pipeline in a closed-door union meeting, leaking it to news media outlets or including it without fanfare in a policy fact sheet, the emails show.

Hillary Clinton promised a positive approach by her campaign in the final four weeks of what has been a vitriolic race for president, telling south Coloradans that all Donald Trump and his team “have left” is negativity.

Rooney is referring to a 2011 exchange between Podesta, Center for American Progress fellow John Halpin, and Palmieri, now the communications director for the Clinton campaign.

Hacked emails released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks show that Hillary Clinton did not want her husband to cancel the speech, but was eventually convinced that canceling was the right step.

The Clinton campaign has not confirmed the authenticity of the emails.

The two agreed to a phone call at 11:45 a.m., according to the emails, which were hacked from Podesta’s account and posted on Wikileaks.

As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now practically read it ‘all men are created equal, except negroes.’ When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ‘all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.’ When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty – to Russian Federation, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].

“The Clintons won’t forget what their friends have done for them”, he added.

Palmieri, a Catholic, responded that she didn’t “recognize” the message and again blamed the Russians for the hack. “I’m supporting all the Republican nominees in this fall’s election, but what’s encouraging to me is despite the fact that some Republicans have chose to go a different direction, the overwhelming majority of leaders and Republicans are standing with Donald Trump as the next president of the United States”. Clinton came under fire for months for not releasing full details of her paid speeches to big business audiences, as opponents accused her of a cozy relationship with bankers and other members of the USA financial system. “But she didn’t seem like a bitch in the interview”.

As news broke a year ago about her use of a private email server, one of Clinton’s top aides suggested simply releasing all the messages from her time as secretary of state. She said repeatedly that she would wait to announce her position until after the State Department had repeated its review of the project, in deference to her former boss. “That has to come from her”.
