| A mail Podesta sends to Neera Tanden on June 3, 2008, near the end of the Democratic primary race, appears to call Clinton’s decision not to concede to Barack Obama at the time “psychotic." | |
| In the mail titled ‘All things are never equal’, Tanden tells Podesta “She's not conceding tonight... And not anytime soon, either,” to which he replies “Former smart; latter psychotic." | |
| The mail is sent in the days following Clinton’s primary win in Puerto Rico, a late and futile victory in her battle to beat Obama for the Democratic nomination for president. | |
| Four days after the mail was sent Clinton conceded defeat to her rival. | |
| In December 2015, Hill columnist Brent Budowsky advises Podesta about Clinton’s statements on Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS). | |
| “She will never state what I believe we need to do...because she is consumed with keeping Obama's goodwill and afraid of liberal backlash," he writes. | |
| "But at the least she should not be branding and infecting herself with Obama's policy towards Syria and ISIS by offering such high and direct praise for it." | |
| “She can praise him [Obama] but every time she does she should immediately follow it with positive reminders of the success of the Bill Clinton presidency." | |
| “Every time she mentions Obama positively, follow it by mentioning Bill Clinton a bit more positively. And when possible mention JFK as well.” | |
| He concludes: “She appears locked into a tactical approach which is a Democratic version of the Richard Nixon strategy in the 1960's and 1970's – move left before the primaries before the nomination and then move right before the general election after the nomination.” | |
