WikiLeaks: Podesta listed running mates in 'rough food groups' (Latino food group, estrogen food group, etc.)

Another day and another batch of John Podesta’s emails have been released by WikiLeaks:

Here’s one that caught our eye on potential running mates for Hillary Clinton that Podesta arranged into “rough food groups,” which as we show below doesn’t have anything to do with food:

Look at this list of possible Hillary VP choices and tell me what "rough food groups" means. (@wikileaks) https://t.co/3w8XHai1Qb

Here’s the email:

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.
