Another batch of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails has been leaked to the public, by way of WikiLeaks.
In one exchange, Joel Johnson, an influential lobbyist and a former senior adviser to President Bill Clinton, told Podesta: “Bernie [Sanders] needs to be ground to a pulp. We can’t start believing our own primary [expletive]. This is no time to run the general. Crush him as hard as you can.”
The email, dated in February 2016 and titled “Friendly advice. No mercy,” ends on a lighter note. “Other than that, hope all is well and congrats on Nevada!” he wrote.
Podesta, the former White House chief of staff for Bill Clinton, replied to Johnson’s email, saying: “I agree with that in principle. Where would you stick the knife in?”
“Obama betrayer (Wh will affirm). Hapless legislator (Senators/members will affirm). False promiser (policy elites will affirm). Can’t win (black people will affirm),” Johnson responds.
