Hillary Clinton’s campaign “secretly tracked” aggressive reporters to make sure they didn’t get a chance to ask tough questions, according to emails leaked today by Guccifer 2.0.

The hacker claims to have broken into email accounts of Clinton campaign staffers, according to the Smoking Gun, which first reported the story.

The emails show the Clinton campaign went into full defense mode in February to prevent reporters from getting near Clinton, her daughter, Chelsea, and hubby, Bill, at a Las Vegas rally.

In emails, members of the Clinton ropeline platoon reported on the movement of reporters, especially Dan Merica, a CNN producer assigned to cover Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“Watch out for Dan Merica center right,” one email from a campaign aide said.

“Dan Merica stage left,” reported another member of the campaign’s advance team minutes later.

“Dan America is on backstage bleachers,” chimed in another tracker.

But a fourth campaign aide said there was no need for concern: “I’m with Dan Merica on back stage bleachers.”

The series of updates surrounding the CNN producer appear to have all been sent within 10 minutes.

When Clinton visited Chicago in mid-March, the local press pool included Lynn Sweet, the Washington, DC, bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times.

Campaign press secretary Nick Merrill warned, “Let’s keep an eye on her.”

“Yes,” another aide responded, “I’m sitting next to her on the bus.”
