Hillary Aide Caught Making Massive BLACKMAIL Admission in Leaked Email
(Conservative Tribune) – Hillary Clinton’s private email server isn’t the only email the Democrat front-runner has to worry about. A recent Freedom of Information Act request by a major blog revealed that one of Hillary’s top aides blackmailed reporters to print flattering coverage of the former first lady and secretary of state.
Gawker obtained the email exchange between Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines and The Atlantic writer Mark Ambinder. In it, Reines says he will only release advance text of a speech to Ambinder if he promises to write effusively about it before he had even read it.
In the July 15, 2009 email, Hillary Clinton’s aide said he would supply the speech before the Council on Foreign Relations event where it was to be given on three conditions
“1) You in your own voice describe them (Clinton’s remarks) as ‘muscular’” Reines wrote. “2) You note that a look at the CFR seating plan shows that all the envoys … will be arrayed in front of her, which in your own clever way you can say (is) certainly not a coincidence and meant to convey something 3) You don’t say you were blackmailed!”
Ambinder was given the advance copy early enough to scoop other writers, although he said he felt dirty for it.
“It made me uncomfortable then, and it makes me uncomfortable today,” Ambinder emailed Gawker. “And when I look at that email record, it is a reminder to me of why I moved away from all that.”
In case you were wondering and/or curious, here’s the snoozer of a speech Armbinder sacrificed his journalistic integrity to get:
There’s something truly pathetic about a Hillary Clinton functionary having to blackmail reporters in order to get good reviews for his boss. However, as sinister and Nixonian as Hillary Clinton’s actions as secretary of state were, just imagine how bad they’ll be when she’s president.
Think of it: every reporter who doesn’t say exactly what Hillary Clinton wants them to will be blackmailed or cut out of the process entirely. If you don’t call Clinton’s latest moves “muscular,” your career could be over.
Maybe this will finally stop the media’s fawning coverage of Clinton. Given their relative lack of critical reporting on her so far, though, I seriously doubt it.
