Newly released campaign emails say Clintons "won't forget" political favors

Xinhua, October 14, 2016 Adjust font size:

Newly released emails hacked from Hillary Clinton's campaign indicated on Thursday that the Clintons "won't forget" political favors given by others.

In the email exchange between Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook in November 2014, Mook said that U.S. President Barack Obama's aides should use their connections in Obama's home state Illinois to try to move the Illinois presidential primary to a later date to stop momentum for a moderate Republican candidate.

"The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid-March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday," according to the email exchange released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.

"The Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them," wrote Mook.

WikiLeaks on Thursday released nearly 2,000 emails hacked from the campaign of U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, bringing the total number of the hacked emails released in the past week to roughly 9,000.

The Thursday release was the sixth publication by WikiLeaks, which issued two separate batches on Wednesday following one per week day heading back to last Friday, hours after a tape recording Republican nominee Donald Trump's lewd women remarks went public. Enditem
