The WikiLeaks release of John Podesta's emails reveals what the inner circle really worries about.

When WikiLeaks published what it said was a trove of emails from the personal Gmail account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta on Friday evening, it did more than just create a political headache for the Democratic nominee.

The release also provided rare insight into the behind-the-scenes decision-making process of a massive and notoriously tight-lipped political operation that’s been singularly dedicated to delivering the White House to Hillary Clinton for over two years.

The emails reveal a meticulously controlled environment at Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters as it took on Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary. It’s a campaign with a penchant for caution, saddled with an outsized reliance on a tight group of Democratic operatives near the top for both delicate and routine tasks. Those senior officials oversaw the extraordinarily close choreography of the candidate’s most-scrutinized political moments in the early going, from a high-profile speech in Iowa to the tortured roll-out of Clinton’s opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline.

Ever-vigilant for landmines, they saw one budding problem long before the official launch of Clinton’s candidacy.

In an email dated May 10, 2014 — over 11 months before Clinton announced her bid in New York — campaign manager-in-waiting Robby Mook wrote to Podesta, who was then still a top advisor to Barack Obama’s White House, to express concern over the optics of a meeting of top Clinton Foundation donors at the Goldman Sachs headquarters.
