| Hillary's emails begin to bear fruit |
| 2015-12-02 |
| A former top policy aide to then-secretary of state Hillary Clinton proposed a "pledge for Palestine" fundraising initiative that would have a "shaming effect on Israel" while bolstering the Palestinian leadership, newly declassified State Department emails show. Anne-Marie Slaughter, who served as Clinton's director of policy planning at Foggy Bottom from 2009 until 2011, wrote the email to senior Clinton staffers in late September 2010, just before the anticipated expiration of Israel's 10-month moratorium on construction in West Bank settlements. |

| #9 Slaughter's proposal would've posed a de facto election threat to the Dems, espec vee the powerful Jewish-American/Israeli lobby, + we all know how Hillary + Bill don't like that. |

| #7 Wonder if the American Jewish community will remember this next time Hilarity comes to them and tells them what a friend she is of Israel? Some of them, yes. Which is why President Obama has been making nice to Israel lately. |

| #5 IIUC, this (the Slaughter note) wasn't in Hillary's email it was from a high level person to other high level people but not apparently, to hillary herself - SOP deniability |

| #2 Slaughter suggested that the US government solicit donations from wealthy philanthropists.... I doubt Slaugher's scheme caught on at State. We all know how adverse the Clinton's are to any perception of impropriety concerning philanthropy. [sarc off] |
