Hillary Clinton spied on her own staff by downloading their emails, book claims

A recent book has alleged that US Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton spied on her own staff by supposedly downloading their emails.

The new book 'Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign', by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, claims that Clinton wanted to know exactly why she lost the Democratic candidacy against Barack Obama which, in turn, led her to do some digital snooping - The New York Post reports.

The publication reports that an unnamed source told the authors: “She believed her campaign had failed her — not the other way around — and she wanted to see who was talking to who, who was leaking to who.

“Her Political Director, Guy Cecil, had talked with members of the media from his campaign account. Her Chief Strategist, Mark Penn, was a tyrant. And far too many of her minions had fought for turf and status rather than votes.”
