Staffers for Hillary Clinton — who went 275 days without a news conference — wondered if she could “survive” without taking questions from reporters at events, according to WikiLeaks emails released Wednesday.

“Can we survive not answering questions from press at message events,” Huma Abedin wrote in a May 2015 email to campaign chair John Podesta.

“Her [David] Dinkins speech and immigration message broke through because we didn’t take questions,” Abedin said, referring to the former New York City mayor’s event. “Her community banks message got lost because she answered questions about the foundation and emails.”

Podesta was blunt in his reply.

“If she thinks we can get to Labor Day without taking press questions, I think that’s suicidal,” he wrote. “We have to find some mechanism to let the steam out of the pressure cooker.”

Abedin suggested having Clinton answer questions from reporters the day after an event so she wouldn’t be “stepping on her own message.”

This year, Clinton came under fire for going 275 days without holding a formal press conference — a streak that finally ended in September.

Another chain of emails released Wednesday shows how the former chair of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party in Florida suggested that Clinton’s campaign could trick Bernie Sanders allies into supporting her bid for president by reducing the number of superdelegates at future Democratic National Conventions.

“[Bernie’s] people will think they’ve won something from the Party Establishment . . . and it functionally doesn’t make any difference anyway,” Mark Alan Siegel wrote in a March 20 email to Clinton’s former chief of staff Tamera Luzzatto.

Siegel, who was accused of sexual harassment by an aide while serving as a Manhattan assemblyman, resigned from his Democratic Party post in 2012 after saying that pro-Israel Christians want to see Jews “slaughtered and converted.”

Other emails made public by WikiLeaks show that Clinton was tipped off about when the State Department was going to release her Benghazi emails.

“Someone here just got a tip that the State Department may be planning to release her Benghazi emails tomorrow or Monday. Not sure the source is reliable. Has anyone heard anything about this?” Clinton spokeswoman Kristin Schake wrote to Podesta on April 9, 2015.

Four days later, Clinton aide Heather Samuelson followed up, writing, “DOS says the release of the 300 will likely happen on Thurs or Friday. Will keep you posted as I hear anything further on my end. Thx.”

Donald Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the emails showed “an unacceptable level of collusion between the Obama administration and her campaign.”
