Until the latest Podesta leaks created turbulence for the Clinton campaign, Wikileaks; most recent accomplishment was getting former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz to resign following revelations the DNC had rigged the primary campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton and against her primary challenger, Bernie Sanders.
However, in a leaked document from the latest round of Podesta emails, we learn that the Clinton campaign may have been strategizing how to “rig” the primaries as early as 2014.
In a March 2014 email from Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook to Cheryl Mills, David Plouffe and John Podesta, the democrat recounts a conversation he had with Jeffery Berman, Barack Obama’s 2008 delegate guru, who would later be hired by the Clinton campaign to run the math for her primary campaign.
A quick reminder on Jeffrey Berman: as Mother Jones wrote in July 2015, when news of his hire by Clinton first emerged, “Berman brings expertise on the byzantine rules of caucus delegate counting, but he’s also known as a prominent lobbyist for a project fiercely opposed by environmentalists: the Keystone pipeline.”
“Hillary Clinton has hired a former lobbyist for the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline,” The New Republic’s Rebecca Leber wrote, “further upsetting environmentalists who have long been wary of her commitment to fighting climate change.” As the Huffington Post noted, the firm Berman worked for, Bryan Cave, received $980,000 from TransCanada for lobbying work from 2009 to 2011. Berman was part of the team lobbying for the pipeline, and TransCanada paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his share of the work.
