As WikiLeaks continues to leak emails from the Clinton campaign, new lights are shed on the tactics that the campaign has employed. In one such email, the Clinton campaign describes a call with several bloggers who discussed attacks that could be made against Clinton’s primary opponent Bernie Sanders related to racial and reproductive rights.

These liberal bloggers include Sady Doyle and The Guardian‘s Jessica Valenti, who published a piece on Sanders abortion “platitudes” only days later. Another email thread suggests that while the Clinton campaign was aware of these hits, they were eager to keep their role in the pieces a secret.
