The Left’s favorite person in the world is not Hillary Clinton, but her daughter, Chelsea. According to newly obtained emails, it seems POLITICO was set to profile Chelsea in a glossy interview that would have made her look good.
A smoking gun is always a nice thing to have, but it’s not like we need one to prove once and for all that Politico is dedicated to electing Hillary Clinton president. Nevertheless, through a Freedom of Information request, Gawker claims to have found a smoking gun –a series of emails from Politico honcho Mike Allen promising Chelsea Clinton a “no risk … no surprises … something she would like” interview where all the questions would be agreed upon in advance.
This is from a January 10, 2013 email from Allen to Phillipe Reines, an aide to Hillary Clinton. Allen is hoping to land Chelsea for an interview — but if these emails are real, I think it’s pretty obvious Allen is hoping to curry favor with Hillary Clinton by offering her daughter a sweet piece of public relations on any subject Chelsea chooses:
This would be a way to send a message during inaugural week: No one besides me would ask her a question, and you and I would agree on them precisely in advance. This would be a relaxed conversation, and our innovative format (like a speedy Playbook Breakfast) always gets heavy social-media pickup. The interview would be “no-surprises”: I would work with you on topics, and would start with anything she wants to cover or make news on. Quicker than a network hit, and reaching an audience you care about with no risk.
Isn’t that just shocking?
