WASHINGTON (AP) " A senior aide to Hillary Clinton privately dismissed FBI Director James Comey as "a bad choice" in October 2015, according to hacked emails published Thursday. She sent the email to Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, and to the private email address of someone who appeared to be White House spokesman Eric Schultz. Palmieri was the White House director of communications when Comey was appointed FBI director by President Barack Obama in September 2013. The Palmieri email was among more than 2,000 new messages published Thursday by WikiLeaks. The idea circulated to Hillary Clinton's campaign aides, who refrained from commenting.
