Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON – The Wikileaks nightmare for the Hillary Clinton campaign just kept growing on Thursday with the release of the sixth batch of emails from campaign manager John Podesta, on a day that showed a post-debate bounce propelling Trump back into the lead, by two points.

In the latest revelation, Clinton insiders appeared concerned over her keeping her temper under control, as she began to respond to the exploding email scandal last year.
A Clinton ally emailed Podesta on September, 4, 2015, expressing her concern that, “Apologies are like her Achilles heel. But she didn’t seem like a b–ch in the interview,” after the former secretary of state did an interview on her email scandal.
Clinton adviser Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, added what appeared to be a quip conceding Clinton’s volatile temper, adding, “She gets into a rhythm when there’s tons of interviews. But I definitely recommend having her beat up a punching bag (or a staffer but that is unpleasant) before she goes on. She really needs to exorcise the injustice of it all.”
Podesta seemed to share concerns about her temper, writing to Tanden, “She was good. Question is can we keep same mood through 20 interviews.”
That’s when Tanden jokingly suggested having her beat up a staffer.

Podesta replied, “Press takeaway was the whine of but ‘she really didn’t apologize to the American people’ I am beginning to think Trump is on to something,” implying not apologizing for her email scandal might actually be effective.
Tandeen didn’t want Podesta to even consider not apologizing. Her full reply:
“Everyone wants her to apologize. And she should. Apologies are like her Achilles heel. But she didn’t seem like a b–ch in the interview. And she said the word sorry. She will get to a full apology in a few interviews.”
Podesta appeared to agree that an apology was the way to go, and seemed to hope Clinton herself would see the need for it, writing, “I mean what is really the big deal to say I made a mistake with not having two emails and I’m sorry.”
