This really is hysterical! Via RT:
Whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has been trolling Democrats on Twitter by highlighting one of the leaked Podesta emails, revealing a Clinton campaign strategy to bolster “Pied Piper” candidates such as Donald Trump.
The strategy was apparently designed to force more moderate Republican candidates into more conservative positions making them unpalatable to the majority of the electorate.
The email was sent back in April 2015, before Trump had cemented his position as a viable contender, as the then-crowded Republican field of candidates jockeyed for position.
It came from the [email protected] account, likely belonging to Marissa Astor, who worked as an assistant to Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. It was found in the WikiLeaks dump of emails belonging to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
After originally drawing attention to the document in a tweet last October WikiLeaks again highlighted it on the social network on Friday – perhaps purposefully drawing attention to how spectacularly the strategy backfired.
