FLASHBACK: CitiGroup Chose Obama's Cabinet
Wikileaks / Reddit ^

Posted on 11/18/2016 7:12:17 AM PST by TigerClaws

In 2008 Michael B. Froman, then Citigroup executive, sends John Podesta a list of cabinet members. The email is dated Oct. 6, 2008 and bears the subject line “Lists.” It went to Podesta a month before he was named chairman of President-Elect Obama’s transition team.

Froman’s list proved remarkably prescient. As it proposed, Robert Gates, a Bush holdover, became secretary of Defense; Eric Holder became attorney general; Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security; Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff; Susan Rice, United Nations ambassador; Arne Duncan, secretary of Education; Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services; Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget; Eric Shinseki, secretary of Veterans Affairs; and Melody Barnes, chief of the Domestic Policy Council.

The email in question. See the attachments: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/8190

This email needs more traction. Thanks /u/shogun_starship.

EDIT: For those who want to cross check Froman's attachments with past and current cabinet members the link is below. It also should be noted that Froman is currently the US Trade Representative in Obama's cabinet. Podesta picked several from the example list that Froman sent:

Obama was too lazy to do it himself.

I must naïve but had no idea what all that meant. No Podesta leaks since 11/9. I was hoping Killeries deleted emails would be posted. I wonder if they were told to stand down so she can be prosecuted in the future?

I doubt that is the case. Hillary did not do these things in a vacuum. They are all involved. They do not want her prosecuted.

Actually, I should state that differently. While they might want her prosecuted, they FEAR that THEY would be exposed by what was DISCOVERED by a TRIAL.

Since you used 'past tense' in your sentence, I am inclined to ask, do you know now ?
