Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta prodded the candidate to court "needy Latinos" during the Democratic presidential primary fight in 2015, according to an email published by WikiLeaks on Wednesday.

The subject of the Aug. 21, 2015, email from Podesta to Clinton and her top aide, Huma Abedin, reads: "Needy Latinos and 1 easy call."

Podesta suggests Clinton make calls to three politicians: Federico Pena, the former secretary of energy and of transportation under President Bill Clinton; Bill Richardson, the former New Mexico governor who spurned the Clintons by endorsing Barack Obama in 2008 and former South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges.

Richardson was the most dicey request to be sure, which is conveyed in Podesta's delicate email.

"I had heard that you were upset that I encouraged a call between WJC and Richardson to bury the hatchet," Podesta writes to Clinton, referring to the former president by his initials.

He adds that "not withstanding the fact that [Richardson] can be a dick, it was worth getting him in a good place."

"He's on Meet the Press on Sunday. Probably worth a quick call to ask him to stay stout and publicly endorse, but if it's too galling, don't bother."

WikiLeaks released 1,866 additional Clinton campaign emails Wednesday as part of its rolling disclosure of documents that were illegally hacked. The authenticity of the documents has not been confirmed, nor has it been disputed. Sources in the FBI told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that the bureau suspects Russian intelligence agencies are behind the hacking.

Here are other highlights from the latest reveal:

Starbucks CEO Serves Up a Cup of Concern

Two days after the 4th of July in 2015, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz emailed top Clinton confidante Cheryl Mills with concerns about the start to Clinton's campaign.

"I see an old style start to the campaign that feels stale with very few signs of the kind of freshness and transparency that the American people (especially millennials) will need to trust and ultimately elect HRC as president," Schultz wrote.

"And I don't like how it feels," he continues. "Her inner circle and the powers to be, need to reject the status quo and understand how brands (and she is a brand) in the world we now live in are built."

"The campaign feels 'yesterday.' It's too packaged and prescribed," he laments.

Mills forwards the email along to campaign chairman Podesta labeling it "confidential."

Schultz must've had at least some of his concerns alleviated during the course of the campaign. He formally endorsed her last month.

Aversion to the Press

Clinton's aversion to and disdain for the press is no secret. In fact, it's been one of the defining traits of her political career.

But just two months after she launched her candidacy, Abedin emailed top campaign brass about ways to avoid direct interactions with media.

"Can we survive not answering questions from press at message events?" Abedin asks in May of 2015, saying that at recent events at which Clinton had addressed prison reform and immigration her message "broke through because we didn't take questions. Her community banks message got lost because she answered questions about the foundation and emails."

Podesta responds the next morning to Abedin, "If she thinks we can get to Labor Day without taking press questions, I think that's suicidal. We have to find some mechanism to let the steam out of the pressure cooker."

The number of interactions Clinton had with journalists would consistently dog her for much of the next year.

'The Four White Boys'

As the Clinton campaign was beginning to ramp up with hires of top brass, Neera Tanden, a Clinton ally who serves as president of the liberal Center for American Progress, sent up a flare about the demographic makeup of the emerging team's management.

"I'm not the diversity police but there is grumbling on the 4 white boys running next presidential cycle. So I recommend rolling out some people who look like the rest of America soon!" she urges Podesta on Jan. 14, 2015.

"Really, don't you think I know that?" he responds.

"Yeah I know you know it. But in case people feel intimidated in making direct comments to Hillaryland, I thought I'd let you know of the grumbling I'm hearing directly. But maybe that was my mistake," Tanden replies.

While Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook are white, Abedin, the campaign's vice chairwoman is Muslim, Marlon Marshall, an African-American, is the director of state campaigns, and Amanda Renteria, a Hispanic, serves as national political director.

Bill de Blasio's Television Critique

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who ran Clinton's successful 2000 New York Senate campaign, sent a missive to Podesta on March 6, 2016, blasting his old boss's answer during a debate with Bernie Sanders on mass incarceration.

"Hillary was fantastic on the gun control answer, then totally blew the mass incarceration question," he wrote. "Why on Earth did she say, 'Are you going to ask Senator Sanders that question?' instead of just addressing the issue. When she makes it about her, she loses the high ground. Stating the obvious, I know, but she keeps doing it."

Podesta responds judicially, "Very fair."
