WikiLeaks email hack shows Clinton aides infighting
BBC ^ | October 13, 2016 | Tara McKelvey

New documents posted online by WikiLeaks show the dynamics of Hillary Clinton's inner circle - and how they really feel.

They were brutal and condescending - and that was with each other.

[Snip]

The Clinton campaign - and staff - have been notoriously opaque.

They've allowed only a small number of people into their inner circle, and they've guarded zealously against leaks and disclosures of information.

As a result, very few people know the mechanics of the inner circle - how decisions are made and what kind of manager Mrs Clinton is.

The revelations in the emails were obtained illegally, but they've offered an insight into the campaign's methods - and how its staff may be managed if she wins next month's election.

Campaigns, as the emails show, are a nasty business.

Well, they didn’t exactly guard zealously against leaks, did they?!

the Clinton political machine is held together by greed and fear. my guess is that it will tear itself apart as Mrs. Clinton gets sicker and different members of the group try to take over control of the group.

...and a Clinton II White House will be as calamitous as the State Dept was under under Hillary, only compounded.

The article says nothing ... this is an intentional reversal of 'damning with faint praise' ... it's 'praising with faint damnation' ... intended for the reader to say 'oh, there's nothing in the wikileaks emails but some infighting and caring staff.'

Prop. a. gan. da.

Just read this really poorly written and researched BBC article. Absolutely no focus on the truly serious issues raised in the leaked emails and it’s buying into the spin that Podesta didn’t mean Hillary hated ordinary Americans when it is clear that she did and does. I loathe British news outlets. Particularly the BBC.

A good site. Several comments on the US election.

That’s my take on it too, an older, injured shark about to be cannibalized by younger, healthier ones.

You need to go back to the bbc link and find the article where they talk about the “irrational hatred” of Hillary.

I’ll bet several of the people closest to her hate her at least as much as her critics do.

You always see this with despotic rulers. It’s why they need to have flunkeys who test their food for poison.

Maybe she’ll die like Stalin who was left unattended as he lay dying because people feared him so much.

“The article says nothing ... this is an intentional reversal of ‘damning with faint praise’ ... it's ‘praising with faint damnation’ ... intended for the reader to say ‘oh, there's nothing in the wikileaks emails but some infighting and caring staff.’”

Agree entirely.

“Just read this really poorly written and researched BBC article.”

This from the article: “They were also obtained by braking into his account.”

Sounds like the BBC needs to learn English..

The Daily Mail and Telegraph OFTEN have things of use that NOBODY covers in the U.S. BBC is a different animal.

The Brits need to stop condescending to American English, lol!

I have no use for most of their papers even when they agree with me. Plus, they have endless audio pop-ups, etc.

Thank you! That link is right up my alley! There used to be one like this about The Guardian but it hasn’t been updated recently.

Hillary has a dreadful voice and harsh Midwestern accent. That has nothing to do with written American English as devised and revised by Daniel Webster.

That’s not accidental. “Sure, we covered Wikileaks!”

She has a dreadful voice, but most non-Southerners speak with that same exact accent, from PA and Upstate NY to AZ, OR, WA and California.

That has nothing to do with written American English as devised and revised by Daniel Webster.

Nobody speaks like that, especially New Yawkahs.

The mainstream American English, spoken language, is a lot closer to Webster's prescribed pronunciations than the misplaced and deleted "R"s, and mispronounced vowels as practiced by New Englanders and Big Applists.

Americans do not speak the same from Pennsylvania to California. Meryl Streep would be out of work if we all had the same accent or dialect.

But, again, my reference was to written English not American speech.
