Doesn't matter. This election is over. He has little chance except to claim for a rigged process if its relatively close which is why Hillary is trying to clean up the remaining swing states to make it a landslide.

Clinton was considered for Obama's HHS Secretary
Hillary Clinton was floated as a candidate for HHS Secretary, as well as Secretary of State, in a potential Barack Obama administration, according to hacked emails published Thursday by WikiLeaks.
Clinton's name appeared on a list of several women who were being recommended for senior-level positions in the event that Obama was elected. The correspondence occurred between Michael Froman — now the U.S. Trade Representative — and Obama in October 2008. Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's first HHS Secretary and a former governor of Kansas, also appears on the list as a candidate to lead HHS or the Labor Department.
A separate list attached to the email names African American, Asian and Latino candidates for cabinet-level or other senior positions. Froman wrote that the names listed were of individuals who "have been recommended by a number of sources."
The White House has declined to comment on the content of the emails or confirm their authenticity.

Clinton allies fretted over ‘Warren primary’ on Wall Street plans
Hillary Clinton’s allies carefully charted a Wall Street regulation plan that would survive what they termed “the Warren primary,” according to hacked emails published by WikiLeaks.
At issue was the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking until its repeal by former President Bill Clinton.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who for many is the party's liberal standard-bearer, has called for reinstating the law as a way to crack down on big banks. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator who was Hillary Clinton's main rival in the Democratic primaries, supported the idea.
Ron Klain, vice president Joe Biden's former chief of staff, suggested a way to "avoid the flip flop, but survive the Warren primary," according to an October 2015 email.
He said Clinton "should move 95% to Warren" on Glass-Steagall by saying:
" Of course I wouldn't bring back Glass Steagall -- that's a law written 80 years ago before we had anything like the current banking system. But I agree with Sen. Warren that -- given the ongoing misconduct in the banking industry -- we need to erect a wall between banking and non-banking activities. If I became President, I would sit down with her and develop a 21st century version of Glass Steagall that provides sound separation between basic banking and riskier activities, but still keeps America's financial ins ution's compe ive."
(Warren has drafted a bill dubbed "the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act" that is intended to downsize "too-big-to-fail" banks.)
Some Clinton allies had been fretting about how to respond to the progressive push to reinstate Glass-Steagall, the WikiLeaks emails illustrate. Clinton ultimately declined to endorse the proposal.
In September 2015, Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden wrote in an email that "this is the closest thing to an Iraq vote we have to face us" and "a big potential problem in the debate."
Tanden suggested that Clinton say, "if banks are growing too big to manage and we need to take these steps ... believe me I will work to reinstate glass steagall in a heartbeat."

On TPP, Clinton advisors argued over 'huge flip flop'
Days before Hillary Clinton announced her opposition to the Trans-Pacific partnership, her campaign was divided over whether she could afford to oppose the trade pact she'd long worked to advance, according to hacked emails published by WikiLeaks.
Ron Klain, Vice President Joe Biden's former chief of staff and an outside advisor to Clinton's campaign, warned in October of 2015 that it would be a "huge flip flop" to break with the trade agreement that President Barack Obama was championing.
"* She has to be for TPP*. She called it the "gold standard" of trade agreements. I think opposing that would be a huge flip flop. She can say that as President she would work to change it. She can say that it can be better. But I think she should support it," Klain wrote in an email.
(Asked about the exchange, Klain replied: "I'm not going to comment on the Wikileaks given the source, but I believe that Secretary Clinton made the right call on TPP.")
Jake Sullivan, a senior policy advisor to Clinton, responded to agree with Klain, but noted others on the email chain "feel strongly to the contrary."
Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, warned backing TPP would cost the campaign support from organized labor.
"TPP would be lethal with labor. We'd [lose] afscme and likely seiu as well," he wrote, referring to the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees and Service Employees International Union.
Four days later, on October 7, Clinton announced her opposition to the trade pact.
“What I know about it as of today, I am not in favor of what I have learned about it,” Clinton said at the time. “I’ve tried to learn as much as I can about the agreement, but I’m worried.”
On October 23, AFSCME endorsed Clinton for president. On November 17, the SEIU endorsed Clinton as well.

David Brock is an 'unhinged soulless narcissist' according to Neera Tanden
Longtime Clinton ally Neera Tanden had harsh words for David Brock, a former Clinton antagonist turned staunch supporter, in an email conversation with John Podesta released by WikiLeaks.
Tanden was discussing a POLITICO Playbook exclusive interview with Brock, where Brock said Clinton was preparing for a general election matchup with Donald Trump — in early January, before any primary votes were cast.
Their email conversation was part of the latest WikiLeaks release of Podesta's hacked emails. Democrats assert that WikiLeaks is working with Russia to try to unduly influence the election.
“David Brock is like a menace,” Tanden vented to Podesta. “I can think of no worse message for Hillary right now than she's preparing for the general.”
“I continue to believe he's the manchurian candidate of the GOP — secretly out to tank her,” she continued.
Podesta asked her if she truly believed that or if Brock was just an “unhinged narcissist” and Tanden replied that “I truly believe he's an unhinged soulless narcissist.”
She added that she doesn’t actually think Brock is actively trying to sink Clinton “because I'm not actually a conspiracy theorist like David Brock.”

Summers gave Clinton campaign 'worst advice ever' on banking
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers -- derided by the left for his role in financial deregulation during Bill Clinton's presidency -- tried to steer Hillary Clinton's campaign away from "bank bashing" during the Democratic primaries, according to the latest batch of WikiLeaks emails.
Summers reached out to top campaign staff and even Bill Clinton himself after a Jan. 17 primary debate in South Carolina. During the debate, Clinton called out Bernie Sanders for voting in favor of a bill that kept part of the derivatives market unregulated going into the 2008 financial crisis. Summers served as Treasury secretary when Bill Clinton signed the legislation into law.
But campaign chairman John Podesta did not appear eager to adopt Summers' suggestions, which included steering Clinton away from attacking Sanders, an outspoken Wall Street critic, over the derivatives bill.
"Worst advice ever," Podesta wrote to Bill Clinton chief of staff Tina Flournoy. "Wrong then, wrong now."
The morning after the debate, Summers sent his thoughts to campaign aides, including chief financial officer Gary Gensler. Gensler also worked in Bill Clinton's Treasury Department but later became a financial regulator revered by the left for his crackdown on derivatives traders during the Obama administration.
Summers said attacking Sanders for the 2000 derivatives bill was a "poor idea." He pointed out that Bill Clinton supported the bill, that Gensler could also be cast that way, and that Hillary Clinton herself had success trading derivatives.
Summers suggested a few alternatives, including a message outlining that "every other country has large financial ins utions that support its job creating companies" and that "the greatest economy in the world needs to be able to support its national champions."
In terms of future attacks on Sanders, Summers suggested that the Vermont senator was vulnerable on housing finance and the post-crisis Troubled Asset Relief Program, which is often criticized by both the left and many Republicans as a "bank bailout."
"It's probably too sophisticated an argument, but it is true that without big and therefore diversified banks the oil regions of the country would be headed into a catastrophic credit crunch," Summers said.
He followed up with an e-mail to Bill Clinton.
"In general u need to shift the debate from who can bash the banks harder to who can promote the economy better," he said. "You will never beat him on bank bashing."

Podesta aide wanted Foxx endorsement messages kept on personal email
As Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx prepared to endorse Hillary Clinton for president earlier this year, a top aide to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta apparently instructed a colleague to make sure to email him about the matter at his personal account not his official government one, according to a hacked email released Wednesday by WikiLeaks.
“If you want to tee up a draft email from his gmail to Foxx's personal email not .gov, attach the docs etc...thx,” Podesta chief of staff Sara Latham wrote to campaign aide Milia Fisher.
The message to Foxx was being prepared January 6, five days before Foxx endorsed Clinton during a trip to Iowa. The aides attached a copy of Labor Secretary Tom Perez’s endorsement speech, details on Clinton’s infrastructure-building proposals and some generic Clinton camp talking points.
The aides don’t appear to discuss why the communication should be directed to Foxx’s personal email account, but the Hatch Act generally requires federal employees to separate their official duties from political activities and not to expend government resources on partisan political campaigns. Sending the message to the cabinet official’s personal account would also reduce the chance of it becoming available under the Freedom of Information Act.
During President George W. Bush’s administration, White House aides used a Republican National Committee-established server set up to handle political communications, purportedly in an effort to abide by Hatch Act restrictions. Millions of those messages went missing during Bush’s term, but most of them were apparently recovered by the National Archives in 2009.

Doug Band is the best ... according to Doug Band
Doug Band is a hard-working business leader who should be admired for his loyalty to the Clintons, his networking skills and his ability to build his own ventures, according to a fawning letter found in John Podesta's hacked emails that was released by WikiLeaks on Wednesday.
But, there's a catch. Podesta didn't write the letter — Band himself did.
In late September 2013, Band sent a nearly 900-word email detailing his accomplishments at an “astonishingly young age” to Podesta, in an effort to get the chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign to sign the self-praising note.
“For those of you who only know about him from the press coverage he received last week, it only felt right to take the time to help set the record straight and talk about Doug from the perspective of someone who knows him well, especially since Doug is a private person who would never do this himself,” Band wrote about himself.
The letter credited Band with founding the Clinton Global Initiative and consulting firm Teneo, as well as praised him for remaining loyal to former President Bill Clinton despite receiving a high paying job offer elsewhere.
“Doug turned down a lucrative job at Goldman Sachs to help the President transition into private life, even in the midst of a difficult time when President Clinton’s approval rating was lower than it had ever been, and many had left the President’s side for greener pastures. The decision Doug made to stick with the President was made out of loyalty, and I always admired that,” Band wrote.
Band also spoke generally about his “global perspective,” adding that “a long list of people” – from departing world leaders to college students – rely on his advice.
“He has a truly global perspective, he knows how to make things happen, and he works harder than anyone else,” he wrote. “How many people do you know that can credit Doug with helping them find their job, decide where to attend school or grow professionally? I can tell you it’s a long list of people.”
Band, who submitted a draft to Podesta for approval, also touted his ability to act independently: “Doug doesn’t need to build a firm on the back of anyone: anyone who knows him knows that his own talents are more than enough.”
“I don’t often write emails like this, but sometimes when you see a wrong, you feel compelled to right it. That’s the case here, and even though Doug will probably hate everything I just wrote, someone needed to set the record straight, and I’m glad I had the chance to do it,” he concluded.

McGinty emailed Podesta for Senate advice
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate Katie McGinty emailed John Podesta, her former colleague in the Clinton White House, asking for advice on challenging GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, according to a message in WikiLeaks' hacked trove of Podesta's emails.
"Hey John," McGinty wrote on July 17, 2015. "Emilys List and DSCC have been working me hard re a US Senate run. Would love your perspective. Will need to decide one way or other by mid next week."
Podesta responded about 20 minutes later: "I'll call."
McGinty ultimately announced her run in early August, won a contested Democratic primary, and is now locked in a tight race with Toomey. EMILY's List played the leading role in recruiting McGinty into the contest, endorsing her almost immediately. The DSCC ultimately endorsed her a few weeks before the April primary and spent millions helping her come from behind against former Rep. Joe Sestak.
McGinty worked as the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality from 1995 to 1998, when Podesta was President Bill Clinton's deputy chief of staff and then chief of staff.
Democrats and U.S. government officials have said there is evidence the Russian government supplied the hacked emails to WikiLeaks.

Lessig defends Tanden, who wanted to 'kick the s--- out of him on Twitter'
If Lawrence Lessig is angry that Neera Tanden expressed a desire to "kick the out of him on Twitter," he's not saying so publicly.
Instead, Lessig publicly expressed support for Tanden, who's head of the Center for American Progress and has seen many of her private emails made public via WikiLeaks.
"We all deserve privacy. The burdens of public service are insane enough without the perpetual threat that every thought shared with a friend becomes Twitter fodder. Neera has only ever served in the public (and public interest) sector. Her work has always and only been devoted to advancing her vision of the public good. It is not right that she should bear the burden of this sort of breach," Lessig wrote Tuesday on his blog.
Lessig's post does defend some leaks, however: "I’m a big believer in leaks for the public interest. That’s why I support Snowden, and why I believe the President should pardon him. But I can’t for the life of me see the public good in a leak like this — at least one that reveals no crime or violation of any important public policy."
Lessig's response comes after WikiLeaks published a hacked email exchange between Tanden and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. The August 2015 exchange took place while Lessig was mulling a challenge to Clinton in the Democratic primary. (Lessig entered the race in September before dropping out shortly after, as his race was aimed not at winning but in order to push campaign finance reform.)
The published exchange has three parts, opening with Tanden emailing Podesta: "The smugness of Larry Lessig.
Podesta replies: “An everyday American pompous law professor.”
Tanden comes back with: "I ing hate that guy. Like I'd like to kick the out of him on twitter...but I know that is dumb."
Lessig is a Harvard University Law School professor and author of a prominent activist calling for policies that reduce the influence of money is politics.

Clinton aide worried about 'demagoguing' on revolving door
Hillary Clinton's campaign advisers disagreed about how tough the former Secretary of State should be when it came to the "revolving door" that circulates people between jobs in Washington and Wall Street, according to email conversations released by WikiLeaks.
The dispute arose in a string of August 2015 messages - unverified by the campaign - where aides provided input on an op-ed that Clinton planned to publish with Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.).
The piece, which later ran on the Huffington Post, was written in support of a bill Baldwin had introduced in the Senate to slow the revolving door and restrict companies from giving bonuses to departing employees headed into government.
Top Clinton policy aide Jake Sullivan said he was worried that the thrust of the op-ed was "if you work in the private sector and come into government, you are an inherently su ious character."
Campaign manager Robby Mook pushed back, suggesting that a tougher tone would help in the Democratic primaries.
"I don't think the average voter will be sensitive to alienating people who go in and out of government. My concern from a primary perspective is appearing to protect the status quo, which I think people will believe (with a bit of prompting from Warren and others) is corrupted," Mook said, likely referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The Massachusetts Democrat had been promoting the legislation as "as a bill any presidential candidate should be able to cheer for."
Sullivan conceded, "I know that I sound like I am protecting the plutocrats."
"But there is a line here," he added. "If we go across it we're just demagoguing."
Campaign chief financial officer Gary Gensler, a former Wall Street regulator and Goldman Sachs partner, offered his inside perspective.
Gensler suggested deleting language about making sure that Washington policymakers were "not trying to enrich themselves" and replacing it with making sure officials were "not worrying about former or future bosses" at the public's expense.
The change, he said, "more accurately captures what can happen and lowers tone."
