From: Robby Mook <robbymook2015@gmail.com> To: Jennifer Palmieri <jennifer.m.palmieri@gmail.com>, John Podesta <john.podesta@gmail.com> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=089e015386d612c4c80510649552 --089e015386d612c4c80510649552 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Good call this am! Two thoughts (which are mostly obvious, but wanted to flag to discuss): 1) We really need to have a broad convo about what else is coming, esp vis a vis Benghazi. I know the framework so far has been to let the State team handle this stuff, but I think big opportunities were missed in the Times piece to demonstrate authenticity and candor and I think this experience has demonstrated why we need the political team engaged. 2) We need to figure out how we handle this stuff operationally moving forward--who is involved in the discussion and who is leading the discussion. We have a broader consulting team, etc, and I need to be clear on my end on process and input. I have a frustrated and anxious team, which is fine for now, but I need to provide clarity and I want to leverage their input because I think it's helpful. We don't need them triaging with us, but if we know what's coming they can help us plan. --089e015386d612c4c80510649552 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Good call this am! =C2=A0</div><div><br></div>Two tho= ughts (which are mostly obvious, but wanted to flag to discuss):<div><br><d= iv>1) We really need to have a broad convo about what else is coming, esp v= is a vis Benghazi.=C2=A0 I know the framework so far has been to let the St= ate team handle this stuff, but I think big opportunities were missed in th= e Times piece to demonstrate authenticity and candor and I think this exper= ience has demonstrated why we need the political team engaged.=C2=A0</div><= div><br></div><div>2) We need to figure out how we handle this stuff operat= ionally moving forward--who is involved in the discussion and who is leadin= g the discussion.=C2=A0 We have a broader consulting team, etc, and I need = to be clear on my end on process and input.=C2=A0 I have a frustrated and a= nxious team, which is fine for now, but I need to provide clarity and I wan= t to leverage their input because I think it's helpful.=C2=A0 We don= 9;t need them triaging with us, but if we know what's coming they can h= elp us plan.</div></div></div> --089e015386d612c4c80510649552--
