Leaked John Podesta emails show him discussing a ‘Catholic Spring’
There are simply way too many emails being leaked for anyone to cover them all so hopefully between all the bloggers we will at least be able to cover most of the more egregious ones. Today I have chosen to write about John Podesta’s email in which he called for an infiltration into the Catholic church in an attempt to persuade them to change their ideology on “gender equality.”
Here is more:
A newly leaked email shows Hillary Clinton’s current campaign chairman John Podesta and a Left-wing activist casually discussing fomenting “revolution” in the Catholic Church.
“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”
In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution — just yet.
“We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up,” Podesta writes.
Newly released emails show Hillary Clinton disclosed classified information during a paid speech
The Wikileaks hits just keep on coming, now we have learned that during a paid speech Hillary Clinton disclosed classified details of the Osama bin Laden raid. Here is the report:
Of course this is not her fault, after all she did not realize a “C” paragraph heading in an email meant the information was classified so how was she to know details on how the United States government found Osama bim Laden was classified?
Move along, nothing to see here…

Newly leaked emails show the Justice Department was in contact with the Clinton campaign during the invetigation
Wikileaks is at it again, today another 1,000 of Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails were released. Most of them seem to center around the collusion between the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign. We all knew the mainstream media was in the tank for the former Secretary of State but what we learned today shows us the breadth of the collusion.
Speaking of collusion, we also learned through these emails that despite Hillary Clinton’s claim to the contrary the Department of Injustice was in contact with the Clinton campaign during the investigation into her email scandal. Here is more:
An official within Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign appeared to have discussions with sources inside the Department of Justice (DOJ) about ongoing open records lawsuits regarding the former secretary of State’s emails, according to an email released on Tuesday.
In an email from May 2015, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that “DOJ folks” had “inform[ed]” him about an upcoming status conference in one of the lawsuits regarding Clinton’s private email setup.
The information about an upcoming court event would have been public knowledge and open for all to attend. And it’s unclear whether the people Fallon spoke to at the Justice Department were officials who regularly communicate with the public.
The fact that the Department of Injustice and the Clinton campaign were in contact over a public meeting might not seem to be a big deal, and I am sure Hillary Clinton’s defenders will claim this is much to do about nothing, however there should have been no contact whatsoever and it does raise concerns:
Joy Behar calls Bill Clinton’s alleged rape victims ‘tramps’
The media is in full spin mode after last night’s debate. First a Washington Post writer found it suspicious that Donald Trump used female pronouns when referencing Hillary Clinton and now Joy Behar is suggesting that Bill Clinton’s alleged rape victims were nothing but “tramps.”
Here is what she had to say:
During a discussion of the Clinton accusers who attended Sunday’s presidential debate on Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar suggested that Democrat presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could have said, “I would like to apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband.”
Behar stated, that “maybe” Hillary could have said, “I would like to apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband.”
Whatever happened to not blaming the victim? Oh yeah, that went out the window when Hillary Clinton once defended the rapist of a 12 year old girl by saying the victim fantasized about having sex with an older man…
I guess Joy Behar missed Hillary Clinton’s admonition on her website that all victims deserved to be heard and believed, but I suppose that is not surprising because the former Secretary of State removed this admonition from her website…
Hillary Clinton also said to rape victims, “don’t let anyone silence your voice” but what is Joy Behar doing here if she is not trying to silence them through intimidation and humiliation? I guess Joy Behar missed that part as well.

Washington Post writer upset Donald Trump used female pronouns to describe Hillary Clinton
The age of political correctness has gotten to the point of ridiculousness. We live in an age when gender specific pronouns are being whitewashed from college campuses and public places, but it has reached a new low. Washington Post writer Chris Cillizza thinks there is some ulterior motive (probably sexism) behind Donald Trump’s use of the words “she” and “her” when referencing Hillary Clinton during last night’s debate.
Here is more:
“He needs independents, he needs women,” Cillizza argued. “There’s just not much there last night that I think would convince you if you were not for him previously, particularly if you’re a woman.”
“He kept referring to Hillary Clinton as ‘she,’ ‘her,’” he pointed out. “Which was a concerted strategy, I’m not sure why.”
First of all, using the leftist mindset, is Chris Cillizza, as a man, qualified to speak about what it takes to win over women voters? Just saying…

Excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street speeches leaked
Today Wikileaks released thousands of pages of hacked John Podesta emails which allegedly include excerpts of Hillary Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street–speeches she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for delivering by the way.
My original intent was to wait a day or two for more details to come out before I wrote about this issue but in the end I could not wait.
We do not know much at this point but we do know this:
Excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s closed-door paid speeches, including to financial firms, appeared to be made public for the first time on Friday when WikiLeaks published thousands of hacked emails from her campaign chairman.
The speech transcripts, a major subject of contention during the Democratic primary, include quotes from Clinton about her distance from middle-class life (“I’m kind of far removed”); her vision of strategic governing (“you need both a public and a private position”); and her views on trade, health care, and Wall Street (“even if it may not be 100 percent true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged.”)
Hillary Clinton admitted that she is “far removed” from the struggles of the middle class (I would say out of touch) but that she does remember those struggles. We can debate whether or not she really remembers these struggles or not but I think you know what my position is on this and I think it is justified by the former Secretary of State accepting money from the very same entity she has been railing against in this election.
Hillary Clinton sought contracting deals for Chelsea Clinton’s friend while Secretary of State
Despite Hillary Clinton’s claim that there is allot of smoke but no fire regarding her email scandal the more we learn about this scandal the more we realize there is a fire and it is getting bigger. This has been a productive day on the email front because earlier we learned about the possibility Patrick Kennedy was actively involved in evidence tampering and now we are finding out that Hillary Clinton allegedly used her position as Secretary of State to try to help her daughter’s friend attain State Department consulting contracts.

Do the FBI files on Hillary Clinton’s email scandal reveal possible evidence tampering?
Hillary Clinton said a few weeks ago in regard to her email scandal that there was allot of smoke but no fire. Of course we all know where there is smoke there is fire and now maybe that fire is beginning to kindle because according to this story the files the FBI released several weeks ago are spawning allegations of evidence tampering.
Here is more:
Buried in the 189 pages of heavily redacted FBI witness interviews from the Hillary Clinton email investigation are details of yet another mystery — about two missing “bankers boxes” filled with the former secretary of state’s emails.
The interviews released earlier this month, known as 302s, also reveal the serious allegation that senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy applied pressure to subordinates to change the classified email codes so they would be shielded from Congress and the public.
The details about the boxes are contained in five pages of the FBI file – with a staggering 111 redactions – that summarize the statements of a State Department witness who worked in the “Office of Information Programs and Services (IPS).” The employee told the FBI that, “Initially, IPS officials were told there were 14 bankers boxes of former Secretary of State Hillary CLINTON’s emails at CLINTON’s Friendship Heights office.” Friendship Heights is a neighborhood that straddles the Northwest neighborhood of the District of Columbia and Maryland.
The State Department witness further explained to the FBI that “on or about December 5, 2014, IPS personnel picked up only 12 bankers boxes of CLINTON’s emails from Williams & Connolly.”
The officials were not sure if the boxes “were consolidated or what could have happened to the two other boxes. “
One official stated Patrick Kennedy applied pressure to his underlings to change the email codes so that the Congress would not see them but was not sure if the boxes were just consolidated. It seems to me that if they were consolidated many of the missing emails would not be missing but that is just speculation on my part but there is more:
Bill Clinton took some heat earlier this week for trashing Obamacare before trying to walk his statement back and now Chelsea Clinton has joined the fray when she admitted work needs to be done on the “affordable” aspect of Barack Obama’s signature legislation.
Here is what she had to say earlier today:
“That being said, we know we do need to work on the ‘affordable’ part of the Affordable Care Act,” Clinton said.
That is an interesting comment to make because as we all know the main goal of the Affordable Care Act, as can be seen in the official name of this legislation, was to bring down the cost of healthcare and make it more affordable to more people, but this is an admission that the (stated) main goal of Obamacare has failed–if indeed that was the true intention. She basically said the same thing her father said earlier in the week without going into the details.
