Thanks to WikiLeaks, we now have direct email evidence of the collusion between the MSM and Hillary Clinton.

The evidence is a chain of emails sent to John Podesta, chairman of the failed 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and other members of Hillary’s staff, listing the names of top journalists and media personalities who were invited to two private “off the record” dinners — one in the D.C. home of Podesta; the other in the New York home of Joel Benenson, Hillary’s chief campaign strategist. The dinners were scheduled just days before Hillary announced she would be running for POTUS.

The email chain began with an email on April 6, 2015 about the invitation from Jesse Ferguson, Deputy National Press Secretary and Senior Spokesman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign:

We wanted to make sure everyone on this email had the latest information on the two upcoming dinners with reporters. Both are off-the-record.

1) Thursday night, April 9th at 7:00p.m. Dinner at the Home of John Podesta. His address is 3743 Brandywine St NW in Washington, DC. This will be with about 20 reporters who will closely cover the campaign (aka the bus).

2) Friday night, April 10th at 6:30p.m. Cocktails and Hors D’oeuvre at the Home of Joel Benenson. His home address is 60 E. 96th Street, #12B, New York, 10128. This is with a broader universe of New York reporters. We understand if it’s too hard to make it, not a big deal, but great if you can. Let me know if you have any questions.

The next day, April 7, 2015, Ferguson sent a follow-up email containing what he calls “the current RSVP list to the Thursday Night (4/9) dinner at Podesta’s. As a reminder, this is with the 25 reportersmore closely following HRC* (aka the future bus).”

*Note: HRC is Hillary Rodham Clinton

Note that the only invitee who RSVP “No” was Los Angeles Times‘ Mike Memoli, and he said “no” only because he was out of town, in Panama.

The next day, April 8, 2016, Ferguson sent another email with the list of invitees to the soirée at the home of Joel Benenson:

On April 10, 2015, one of the invitees to the April 9th Podesta dinner, Colleen Nelson, White House Correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, even wrote a gushing “thank you” email to Podesta:

I just wanted to thank you again for your hospitality last night. You were so kind to open your home to us, and the food was as fantastic as promised (everyone at the White House raves about your dinners).

I really appreciated the opportunity to connect with a number of folks from Team Clinton.

“Because almost 100% of mainstream media sources, as well as several prominent publishing news sources are implicated in the leaks in colluding with the Clinton campaign. These ‘news’ sources . . . have conspired to get Hillary elected, by only reporting anti-Trump smear pieces, manufacturing or exaggerating scandals, and hiding anything damaging to Hillary. Most are even donating big money to the Clinton campaign in order to keep the globalist status-quo. These revelations are the stories journalists dream of, but CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, Huffington Post, AP, [Wall Street Journal] and several more are all implicated in the leaks. This is why the media has been so one sided this election season, and why only 6% of people trust the mainstream media.”
