I'm not saying this is 100% true without a doubt, but this should definitely be looked into.

Politicians have been doing this for decades, though.

If anything, if Bernie isn't doing this, it's another sign he's a weak, naive sheep being led to the slaughter.

Are you f---ing serious?

Let's be completely honest here for a second. If Sanders' assistant did something like this, you'd bring up the data breach. You'd bring up the rape fantasy story. You'd attack Sanders mercilessly for his corruption.,

But since it's Clinton's assistant who did this, it's all the reporter's fault. Even though if Clinton's assistant had morals, he would have never tried to pull off something like this. You, my friend, are a major Kool-Aid drinker.

You must have me confused with someone else...
I have literally never attacked Sanders for anything on this board.

So what if the reporter caved in? Clinton's assistant still ordered the reporter to write positively about the speech. This wouldn't be so severe, if not for the third part of the email, which implies that the reporter was blackmailed.

I don't think this was a RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!1!11. Gawker is very left wing/politically correct. I don't think they would work with the Daily Caller to fake anything.

The Gawker writers are very pro Bernie and anti Hillary.

So let me get this straight. You think that the Daily Caller, a right wing website, and Gawker, a left wing website, worked together to fake an email sent to a reporter, even though the reporter admitted the email was real?

No but I do think they're hyping this story to make it sound bigger than it really is.

This is why Hillary Clinton is the best choice. She takes initiative.

Gawker is a gossip site.

Let's also not forget that Gawker made the information request in 2012, before Sanders was even mentioned in many conversations about the 2016 election. I doubt there is any right wing agenda or Sanders agenda at work here.

It was on Politico on monday, she sent emails to foreign policy reporters asking them to describer her as 'muscular'.

The Clintons are a pernicious tumor on the body of the US.
