A planned speech by Bill Clinton before a big Wall Street firm caused panic and acrimony within Hillary Clinton’s fledgling presidential operation just one month before the former secretary of state announced her 2016 candidacy.

According to new emails dumped on Friday morning by WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had not even gotten off the ground when they discovered Hillary’s spouse, former President Bill Clinton, would carry on with a paid speech to a big Wall Street bank — evidently tone-deaf to the political vulnerability of his wife’s own past paid speeches on Wall Street.

I feel very strongly that doing the speech is a mistake — the data are very clear on the potential consequences.

“I know this is not the answer she wants, but I feel very strongly that doing the speech is a mistake — the data are very clear on the potential consequences,” wrote campaign manager Robby Mook in an email dated March 11, 2015. “It will be three days after she’s announced and on her first day in Iowa, where caucus goers have a sharply more negative view of Wall Street than the rest of the electorate. Wall Street ranks first for Iowans among a list of institutions that ‘take advantage of everyday Americans,’ scoring twice as high as the general election electorate.”

The emails were hacked from Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta’s Gmail account. WikiLeaks has been dumping roughly 2,000 emails per day, every day since Oct. 7. The emails often show the rancor within the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

Clinton announced that she was running for the Democratic nomination for president on April 12, 2015. A few days later, she was to head to the crucial early caucus state of Iowa.

Causing further consternation among Clinton’s top campaign staff was their candidate’s reluctance to push her husband to cancel the Wall Street engagement. Hillary Clinton evidently wanted Bill Clinton to give the paid speech as planned.

“I recognize the sacrifice and dissapointment [sic] that cancelling will create, but it’s a very consequential unforced error and could plague us in stories for months,” Mook wrote. “People would (rightfully) ask how we let it happen.”

Mook explained the issue to John Podesta and Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin in an email on March 11: “Yes the issue is that if we’re announcing on the 12th/13th and he’s speaking to a wall street bank on the 15th, that’s begging for a bad rollout.”

“John and Robby — HRC is reiterating her original position. She does not want him to cancel,” read a response from Abedin.

Mook won the next day, though, when Abedin said Hillary Clinton had a change of mind.

“Robby — Just raised with her again,” Abedin wrote on March 12, 2015. “We are good to cancel esp if WJC is ok with it. Just needed a cool down period.”
