Here's an interesting exchange from the John Podesta emails, released by Wikileaks. As points of reference, Don Baer was a senior adviser to Bill Clinton during his presidency who was previously employed by the Discovery Channel, US News and World Report, and CBS News, not necessarily in that order. He is now an adviser for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Neera Tanden was a policy director for Hillary Clinton during her 2008 campaign, later serving in the same position for Barack Obama, and is apparently again working with the Hillary Clinton campaign. John Podesta is the Chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign, and they are discussing Hillary.

Why did she (Hillary) call herself a moderate?
