Podesta gets tongue tied as Wolf Blitzer confronts him over the 1,000s of Leaked emails revealing crime after crime

Blitzer started off by asking Podesta if he believed the Russian government was responsible for the hacking of his email account. The U.S. government has formally accused Moscow of hacking into American political networks to influence the 2016 election.



“Yes,” Podesta said.



He added that if the releases were meant to promote transparency then WikiLeaks should put all the emails out rather than slowly “dribbling” them.



“So–acting as a–and, look, if this was about transparency they’d put them all out,” Podesta said. “So they’re dribbling them out because they want–because the Russians are–intervening in this election on behalf of Donald Trump.”



Blitzer then asked if any of the emails or transcripts that were released had been doctored.



“Well, I’m only saying this, Wolf,” he said. “When this first came out, it came out with a lie from Julian Assange, which was that, you know, when he first released these–that I was a co-owner of the Podesta Group. It’s just factually, completely untrue. So, you know, what is–what is false, what is accurate–we’re not going to get into–”



Blitzer then asked if the transcripts of Hillary Clinton’s paid speeches to Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs were accurate.



“What I would say to that, Wolf, is we’re not going to get into that,” Podesta said.
