A Peek Into the Clinton Campaign in Damage Control Mode, From the Podesta Emails
Intercept, the ^ | 19 October 2016 | Zaid Jilani

When Hillary Clinton came under attack last February for her 2001 vote in favor of a bankruptcy bill that made it more difficult for poor people to discharge their debts, she defended herself by saying she did it for women and children.

During an appearance on ABC News’s “This Week”, Clinton was confronted with a 2004 Bill Moyers video interview with then-consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, in which she explained that she had personally briefed Clinton on the bankruptcy bill but that large financial contributions from the credit card industry had helped sway the senator in favor of it.

Clinton responded by saying her vote was part of a process of strengthening the bill for women and children. “I faced a tough decision and I stood up for women and children,”she said.

“I was deluged by women’s groups and children’s advocates groups to do everything I could to make sure that child support and women’s precarious financial situation in case of divorce or not being able to get the kind of funding they needed from a partner or a spouse in bankruptcy would not be endangered,”she said. “So I did go to work on behalf of all these women’s groups and children’s groups because they needed a champion. And I got that bill changed.”

The media for the most part has a “blackout” on the hacked emails.

I recommend this.

Hillary Clinton has a habit of making claims he staff then has to invent support for or corroboration for.

Part of Hillary’s previously announced, “I have two positions on everything, a public and a private one” philosophy.

It’s getting out there.

Click on every story about the Wiki leaks emails, do searches on Google for Wiki leaks email, click on every Wiki leaks dump.

Soon they will report because they are missing out on all those clicks if they don’t.

Every time Hillary opens her mouth, Podesta has to swallow more headache pills and antacids.

Every article that is written about the emails always has the word “stolen” in front of the word “emails”.
