As usual we will go parse through the disclosure and bring you some of the more notable ones.

In a February 2012 email from Chelsea Clinton’s NYU alias, [email protected], to Podesta and Mills, Bill and Hillary’s frustrated daughter once again points out the “frustration and confusion” among Clinton Foundation clients in the aftermath of the previously noted scandals plaguing the Clinton consultancy, Teneo:

Over the past few days a few people from the Foundation have reached out to me frustrated or upset about _____ (fill in the blank largely derived meetings Friday or Monday). I’ve responded to all w/ essentially the following (ie disintermediating myself, again, emphatically) below. I also called my Dad last night to tell him of my explicit non-involvement and pushing all back to you both and to him as I think that is indeed the right answer. Thanks

Sample: Please share any and all concerns, with examples, without pulling punches, with John and Cheryl as appropriate and also if you feel very strongly with my Dad directly. Transitions are always challenging and to get to the right answer its critical that voices are heard and understood, and in the most direct way – ie to them without intermediation. Particularly in an effort to move more toward a professionalism and efficiency at the Foundation and for my father – and they’re the decision-makers, my Dad most of all

A February 2015 email from Neera Tanden lashes out at David Brock of the Bonner Group, profiled in this post: “Money Laundering Scheme Exposed: 14 Pro-Clinton Super PACs & Non-Profits Implicated.” As a reminder, the Bonner Group, as we showed last month, may be a money laundering front involving various SuperPACs and non-profit institutions:

In the email Tanden says that:

“Brock/Bonner are a nightmare: Really, Suzie Buell isn’t giving to the superpac? I wonder how that got in this story “Big donors holding off making pledges to pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC“,

and concludes by saying that “Sometimes HRC/WJC have the worst judgement.”

In retrospect, she is right.
