| “I know this is not the answer she wants, but I feel very strongly that doing the speech is a mistake - the data are very clear on the potential consequences,” Mook writes to Tiny Flournoy, Bill Clinton’s chief of staff. | |
| “It will be three days after she's announced and on her first day in Iowa, where caucus goes [sic] have a sharply more negative view of Wall Street than the rest of the electorate.” | |
| Earlier in the thread, Huma Abedin had flagged that Hillary “very strongly did not want him to cancel that particular speech.” | |
| “I will have to tell her that WJC chose to cancel it, not that we asked,” Abedin added. | |
| Mook responded to Abedin and Podesta: “[T]he issue is that if we're announcing on the 12th/13th and he's speaking to a wall street bank on the 15th, that's begging for a bad rollout.” | |
