Clinton aides planned to make a joke about President Barack Obama being from Kenya in a fictional e-mail thread they wanted to use as part of a strategy to handle Hillary Clinton's email scandal.

In an attempt to make Clinton's private server seem filled with unimportant emails, the aides, including Jon Lovett and Jennifer Palmieri, thought of a plan to make a fictional thread of emails between Clinton, Republican presidential candidates, Obama and others.

Their plan was to print out the emails - all with fictional email addresses - and have them jokingly presented by Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, a longtime Clinton ally, at an unknown date and time.

Obama's email address in the joke thread featured an extra kicker - it showed his address being rooted in Kenya with a '.co.ke' as a domain address suffix: BarackH@gmail.co.ke.

Obama's email address in the joke thread featured a '.co.ke' domain address suffix, meaning it was from a Kenya domain

The thread also featured jokes about Chris Christie emailing Bruce Springsteen and George Bush's future in the White House

Other fictional addresses included JoeyBiden@geocities.com for Joe Biden, HRod16@clintonemail.com for Clinton, MackerVAgov@gmail.com for McAuliffe, JerseyBoyChrisC@yahoo.com for Chris Christie, and GWBush43@altavista.com and JebBush45@gmail.com for George and Jeb Bush respectively.

The tagline for the proposed strategy was: 'Everybody knows Hillary got in trouble for using her personal email. But it was truly personal.'

'OK, I cann barely type this but my hand i sstuck insdie the vendign machine aand if I let go I lose the snickers, tell me what to do boss,' the satirical email reads.

In another, Clinton asks McAuliffe about going to yoga together.

'We still on for yoga? Want to get my shavasana on,' she writes.

In the end, the Clinton and McAuliffe's (pictured together above) aides admit they're struggling to make the satirical email chain work as a joke

In one satirical email, Christie is seen haplessly emailing rock legend Bruce Springsteen.

'I miss you. I miss talking to you. Forget it, I'm just kidding. I shouldn't have sent this. Unless you agree. Call me?' the email says.

A fake email from George W Bush to Jeb Bush, shows the brothers discussing George's future role in the White House - and offered a sideswipe insult towards a Supreme Court justice.

'Miss u, bro. By the way I asked dad's lawyer friend (Clarence Thomas) and you're wrong: nothing in the constitoosh says I can't be VICE president,' the email says.

'We're trying to work with them to get something in that indicates that she's in on the joke here, we'll see what they come up with,' the email says.

The plan was never put into action. If it had been it would have caused major difficulty to subsequent attacks Clinton leveled against Donald Trump for 'birtherism'.

She called him racist for refusing persistently asking if the president had actually been born in the United States.

'He has a long record of engaging in behavior. And the lie was a very hurtful one,' she said in the first presidential debate, in September.

The WikiLeaks disclosure is part of a trove of thousands of John Podesta's emails that were hacked from his account this year.

The Obama administration has pointed a finger at Russian intelligence services, claiming Vladimir Putin's government is plotting to prevent Clinton from winning the White House.

Clinton's email saga began in March 2015 and has spiraled into multiple congressional investigations and a lengthy FBI probe.
