Interesting: She supposedly hadn't decided to run and they hadn't been "hired" but they decide to start framing what our buddies in the press hear - and only from them. Let's have a "private" dinner!

I know what "thrush" is, but not sure why they would use that type of infection as email subjects. Curious, I searched for the original "thrush" and found another that was dated in Oct. 2015, which leaves me scratching (I'll take that pun) my head. I did finally figure out that they are referring to Glenn Thrush, Chief Political Correspondent/POLITICO

she was pretty shaken by the haberman / firing fire blip last week and again after today's call w/Glenn.
Schake and I discussed who our outside surrogates / tweeters could be once story posts, should Kristina reach out to Pfeiffer to see if he/and or Plouffe will defend ?
worth calling Harris ?

Not familiar w/Eleni, I found this LOL @ Wikipedia. Am I seriously sheltered, not knowing that we call all ambassadors "creatures" or is this someone's funny?
Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis was the United States Ambassador to Hungary until July 2013. The creature was sworn into office by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on January 7, 2010. She presented her credentials to the President of Hungary, László Sólyom on January 11, 2010.
Before accepting President Obama’s nomination to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary,[1] Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis was president of AKT Development Corporation, one of California’s largest land development firms.[2]
*snip*
She is also a Senior Advisor at Albright Stonebridge Group.[9] (Yes, that "special place in hell" Albright.)

Another I found odd was that HRC is apparently the gatekeeper w/regards to her husband's meetings. I guess it shouldn't be surprising - he is absolutely not trustworthy, but check this out:

Willie can't be trusted to meet with this guy - so Her Heinous must send a witness. I wonder why. Did this guy get frequent flyer miles on The Lolita Express too? Does he play golf with Slick Willie and Trump, talking dirty?
LOL! Craig Smith called in for possible clean up after change of plans to send Slick Willie to Florida instead of Her Heinous. Just, exactly, what do these people think of that fine, fine (*cough*) man?

that WJC is going to come to FL on Monday instead of HRC - so that she can remain in Nevada an extra day.

Posting & running, sorta
Have tons to do, but got hooked into Wikileaks.
Will check back in between dishes, laundry, litter boxes, etc..

Wikileaks, dishes, laundry, litter boxes...

Hadn't thought about it like that lol.
I started drinking and it's not even 5pm here yet. Since I always have laundry, dishes and litter boxes to deal with, it must be the wikileaks.

Because she's already won, had already won years ago - and it is so not rigged for her! Not even if somebody else actually wins on votes!
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/clinton-trump-concede-1.3817557
So here's the promoted cover for further evidence of cheating and of the corporate media propaganda machine churning out whatever the Clinton Mafia tells them to push and at best omitting/misrepresenting whatever the voting public is not to know about... and further indication that - as could be anticipated and certainly is, by many of us - that the corporate Republicans will be of no help, should the Clintons slime their way back into the White House to finish things off (including the rest of humanity and the environment).
This part repeated below especially makes my skin crawl with too many swarming horrors and associations to fit their massed release. And I'm wondering about Hillary's self-created (rules are for poors) 'new playbook for handling the transfer of power' as if from one individual to another, only in a democracy intended to be of, by and for the people, with the people having the power expressed through those representing the public interest, and the power of the people only delegated to transient public servants, not surrendered to them to be used against their interests - with her definition of democracy apparently meaning a corporate-run tyranny - and this new created playbook perhaps starting off with something like martial law to deal with the massed protesters who I hope will be peacefully rejecting this pathological monster.
But if she couldn't understand the most basic things about her responsibilities even regarding national security as a public servant heading the State Department, it's perhaps not surprising that she fails to understand the principles of democracy or of the US Constitution that she must swear to uphold the principles/citizen rights of.
Translation - the cheat will be even more obvious and she may not be able to make it stick.
Vote the only non-corporate/non-billionaire, non-TPP-corporate-coup-supporting Green Party Dr. Jill Stein for all of our lives and a still-possible future - and never vote for evil.

Excellent addition, Ellen!
Trump's son, on Stephanopoulos just now, mentioned that Hillary had a few hundred people at a rally in a gym, and his dad draws thousands. I had an eerie memory of the Twitter meme of side-by-side pics of Bernie and Her Heinous in Cali (I think).
The Donald is a loon, but he's right on the call out of the rigged election. Not voter fraud (though I wouldn't put it past the slimy Dems to commit voter fraud, but on the Republican ticket, to divert and make it look bad for Republicans), but the same sort of crap the slimeballs pulled against Bernie.
Unfortunately, I predict the slimeballs will absolutely rig the election, and as blatantly as they did in the primary, because they know their candidate is heinous, and they HAVE to cheat in order for her to win. Disgusting and sad.
I did read a reference to an
I did read a reference to an international mechanism by which the people of a country, in rejecting a false 'leader', could have that false 'leader' internationally not recognized by any other country's leader.
This would mean that they could not claim to make any valid agreements with any other country and at the least could not expect any assistance or official support for any war-crimes committed against other countries. They would also no longer have a veto in the UN, among other things.
The records of cheating and voter suppression made by independent citizen groups would be very important for this, as would mass protests, even if recorded only by independent citizens.
I'm not up to researching this, especially with even my DuckDuckGo search engine apparently scrambled in various 'sensitive' areas, as it has been for some time, but keep hoping that one of the brilliant people here (hinting right at you, lol) will look into this and begin to organize toward what looks like the last chance at a pacific ousting from the US government of the corporate/billionaire faction along with their dupes and lackeys.
I believe that the UN was involved, which would make sense - at least that the UN was mentioned in conjunction with this mechanism, or that the article was focused on the UN; I have a sleep disorder and some health issues which often affect my memory and cannot recall much of this beyond the above, at least at this time.
But I strongly believe that this election may be the last having any pretense made toward legitimacy.
The arrogance displayed in the sheer blatancy of these cheats and excuses is that of a psychopathic group (typical of the pathological corporate culture) now certain of its long-awaited ownership of America and her human, military and other resources entirely falling into its grasp, and once domestic law has been officially (if illegally and unconstitutionally) been offshored under the traitorous 'trade deal' scam, the claims made of a purported legality are evidently to be enforced in corrupted Supreme Court rulings and with both civil and military forces then effectively directly corporate-controlled, (as already seem to be the privately run spy agencies) making resistance much more difficult, as well as psychologically daunting for normally law-abiding citizens.
A 5th column invasion seems to be one of the most difficult to generate effective resistance to, especially with this level of long-term media and other propaganda campaigning...
Once any TPP-corporate-coup supporting candidate gets in (Clinton may be the worst, but the corporate/military PTB intent on a global hostile corporate takeover is driving the blind-greed impetus which will inevitably result in the prompt extinction of life and oxygen production on the planet either within a few decades via to-be-unlimited industrial/military pollution/destruction or almost immediately, via nuclear war in multiple countries creating global dimming over at least a decade, (together with drought and increased radiation, including that of the additional increase due to damage done to the protective ozone layer by the nuclear-created shrouding) also causing massive global crop and other plant die-off, famine and death among all of those reliant upon plants or other animals for food, adding drastically also to the reduction of oxygen production and the sequestering of industrial/military pollutants turning the already far-more-rapidly-than-previously-thought snowballing global die-off of life-supporting life into an avalanche.
It cannot be expected that other countries will passively wait to be invaded and/or nuked, one by one to enable this; at the least, those countries having nuclear weapons will be forced to use them, likely proactively, in an attempt to reduce the devastation following to allow for at least some survival of life somewhere on the planet, even though triggering the anyway inevitable Mutual Assured Destruction likely enough to destroy what still remains of billions of years of evolution.
It's a lose/lose proposition TPTB are playing. They're too ignorant and power-crazed to see this, but we aren't.
And where there's life, there's hope.
