维基解密公布的一封由黑客窃取的电子邮件显示，希拉里阵营正在考虑副总统候选人名单。这封由希拉里竞选团队主席John Podesta发送的电邮列出了一份39人的候选人名单，其中包括苹果公司CEO Tim Cook，比尔盖茨夫妇，以及前纽约市长迈克尔·布隆伯格（Michael Bloomberg）。希拉里阵营原本计划在6月和Tim Cook举行会议，但一位团队成员表示，与Tim Cook的会议应当“谨慎行事”。 Tim Cook在今年8月曾为希拉里主办了一次筹款活动。尽管在同性恋权利和气候变化等问题上采取公众立场，与民主党的立场更为接近，但并不确定其为共和党还是民主党人士。 维基解密公布的邮件全文如下： From: john.podesta@gmail.com To: hdr29@hrcoffice.com Date: 2016-03-17 17:21 Subject: Ok, I can breathe again! Congrats on a fabulous night. I am feeling like it's possible to get back to the longer term again. Cheryl and I met with Jim Hamilton on Friday to discuss lawyers who can help do the research and vetting that I outlined in the VP vet memo we discussed. We also met with Marc Elias to get his input on firms that have already provided substantial volunteer lawyer assistance and to get prepared to execute non-disclosure agreements with anyone we involve in the process. We put together the attached notional teams of “report writers” (confidential profiles/public record vet) and “vettors” (deep-dive/oppo-book), and want to run it by you before we execute on the list. Let me know if there are people you would like to see added or removed before we begin the process. Cheryl, Robby, Jake, Huma, Jennifer and I also did a first cut of people to consider for VP. I have organized names in rough food groups.
