Washington (CNN) WikiLeaks Monday morning posted an additional 2,000 emails that appear to be from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. 
 
 This is the second hack in four days from WikiLeaks, which claims it has a trove of more than 50,000 emails from Podesta. 
 
 The emails appear to be mostly from 2015, covering a litany of policy and strategy discussions between Clinton staffers on how to handle issues of the day and the press, including the release of the book "Clinton Cash" alleging nefarious activity by the Clinton Foundation. Another email has long-time Clinton aide Doug Band referring to Chelsea Clinton as a "spoiled brat." 
 
 Clinton campaign responded to the release by slamming the Trump campaign for "cheering on a release today engineered by Vladimir Putin," after Trump adviser Jason Miller tweeted a link to the document page with the phrase "And here...we...go." 
 
 "It is absolutely disgraceful that the Trump campaign is cheering on a release today engineered by Vladimir Putin to interfere in this election, and this comes after Donald Trump encouraged more espionage over the summer and continued to deny the hack even happened at Sunday's debate," said Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin. "The timing shows you that even Putin knows Trump had a bad weekend and a bad debate." 
 
 WikiLeaks has been alleged to work with Russia, and US national security officials have accused Russia of trying to influence the US elections through highly coordinated hacks, though they haven't pointed specifically to Russia in the WikiLeaks release. 
 
 Emails released Friday included what appeared to be excerpts from transcripts of closed-door speeches Clinton gave to Wall Street companies after leaving the State Department. 
 
 Here are some highlights of the new batch. 
 
 Chelsea Clinton a 'spoiled brat' 
 
 One exchange has a long-time Bill Clinton aide calling his daughter Chelsea Clinton a "spoiled brat" who had a "lack of focus in her life" in a 2011 email that came to light as part of hacked emails posted by Wikileaks. 
 
 Doug Band emailed Podesta and longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills about a damning story about his consulting company, Teneo, by lashing out at Chelsea Clinton. 
 
 "I don't deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things," Band wrote. "She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life." 
 
 "Clinton Cash" response 
 
 The emails also revealed that Clinton wanted to respond more forcefully to "Clinton Cash," the 2015 book that looked to connect Clinton Foundation actions and decisions made by Hillary Clinton's State Department. 
 
 According to an email from another close aide, Huma Abedin, Clinton wanted to tape a straight-to-camera video responding to the allegations. 
 
 "She believes she needs to do this video because her integrity is being attacked and she is the only one who can say she didnt (sic) make a decision as secstate based on a donor," Abedin wrote. 
 
 Abedin added, "She doesnt want to continue to have to have press yell these questions at her in Nevada and CA and if she doesnt do the video, that is the situation she will be in." 
 
 Reporters at Clinton events had tried to get the former secretary of state to respond to the book by shouting questions at her at events on the trail. Initially, the Clinton campaign had decided not to respond directly to the charges, given the lack of front-page and TV coverage of the book. Once that began to change, having Clinton respond to the charges began to gain more traction internally. 
 
 Clinton ended up responding to the book in TV interviews. 
 
 When to object to Keystone? 
 
 The Clinton campaign discussed opposing the Keystone XL pipeline as early as spring 2015, according to one email from campaign manager Robby Mook. 
 
 Discussing a revelation that a Canadian bank and shareholder in the project had paid $1 million to Bill Clinton while the State Department was reviewing the pipeline, Mook wrote on April 19, 2015, "The enviros may latch onto this going forward. Have we discussed when she will come out against Keystone? After POTUS vetoes?" 
 
 Clinton eventually announced her opposition to the project in September 2015; Obama formally vetoed it in November. 
 
 Responding to Clinton Foundation link to Russian uranium company 
 
 One email exchange revealed the manner in which the campaign aimed to deal with a New York Times article in April 2015 that alleged a connection between donations to the Clinton Foundation and a Russian uranium producing company, Uranium One. 
 
 "We should have surrogates attack the NY Times for writing 'thousands' of words when their own story admitted that there was no connection," Joel Benenson, CEO of the Benenson Strategy Group, wrote to Mandy Grunwald of Grunwald Communications. Grunwald responded, "Ditto here. But it still ran on the front page and he's still getting air time all over the place." 
 
 Suggestions for Clinton 
 
 There's no shortage of suggestions from Clinton supporters outside the campaign on ways she could break through against Bernie Sanders and improve her performance. 
 
 One chain from September 2015 starts with an email from Democratic power broker Andy Manatos, who suggests, "A good amount of exposure of Hillary holding, feeding and playing with her adorable grandchild would greatly help the public understand her." ||||| What's In The Latest WikiLeaks Dump of Clinton Campaign Emails

 Comic book fans are familiar with the idea of the multiverse: alternate worlds very similar to ours but different enough for plots to come and go without affecting long-term story arcs. 
 
 Well, on the Earth-3 where Hillary Clinton is running for president against a traditional, disciplined Republican — and not a Donald Trump, who has declared civil war on other Republican leaders — WikiLeaks' decision to post Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's private emails would be a major, major news story right now. 
 
 Podesta reported Tuesday that the FBI is looking into Russia's role in providing the trove to WikiLeaks, and he said the Trump campaign had foreknowledge of the release. He pointed, circumstantially, to Trump's "deep engagement and ties with Russian interests in his business affairs" and to a tweet Trump adviser Roger Stone sent in late August: 
 
 To be fair, the WikiLeaks revelations got enough attention to factor into Sunday's presidential debate. But as Trump has picked fights with House Speaker Paul Ryan and 2008 Republican nominee John McCain, the details emerging from Podesta's emails have been relegated to the news cycle's back burner. 
 
 That's good news for Clinton. Because as reporters and political operatives are combing through the thousands of documents, they're finding evidence of several long-running critiques of Clinton and her campaign. 
 
 Among the emails we're reading today: evidence suggesting a top Democratic National Committee official fed Clinton an answer to a question to be posed at an upcoming town hall forum; evidence that a Clinton campaign staffer was communicating with people at the Department of Justice about Clinton's much scrutinized emails; and pointed commentary concerning Catholics and evangelical Christians. 
 
 The Trump campaign is doing its best to highlight the WikiLeaks documents. Trump has begun speaking about them at length at his campaign rallies, and his communications staff is regularly blasting out updates to reporters. 
 
 The Clinton campaign says Russia is intent on disrupting the American election. 
 
 Here's what's notable in the most recent collection of Podesta emails: 
 
 'Suicidal' To Not Take Press Questions 
 
 Podesta and top Clinton aide Huma Abedin are shown in an exchange over a topic that has been sensitive around Hillary Clinton for some time — exposure to reporters' questions. 
 
 In May 2015, the early days of the campaign, Abedin expressed concern that allowing reporters to ask questions at campaign events diluted the message of the event. She cites one apparent instance: "Her community banks message got lost because she answered questions about the foundation and emails." 
 
 Abedin proposed spending the summer of 2015 rolling out policy proposals and waiting until autumn to introduce press availabilities. 
 
 Podesta replied, "If she thinks we can get to Labor Day without taking press questions, I think that's suicidal. We have to find some mechanism to let the steam out of the pressure cooker." 
 
 The response from Abedin was that she was "not suggesting no q and a at all," but perhaps Clinton could take questions from voters at events where she was rolling out policy and answer reporter questions at other times, including stops at ice cream shops or house parties. 
 
 The Clinton Campaign's 'DOJ Folks' 
 
 Hillary Clinton's decision to use a private email server during her time as secretary of state is a central criticism of the Trump campaign. Trump and top surrogates like Rudy Giuliani regularly insist that Clinton should have been prosecuted for mishandling classified information and that the FBI only declined to pursue charges against her for political reasons. 
 
 Clinton's press secretary, Brian Fallon, provided fodder for charges of Justice Department-Clinton campaign coziness, writing in May of last year that "DOJ folks inform me there is a status hearing in this case this morning, so we could have a window into the judge's thinking about this proposed production schedule as quickly as today." 
 
 He and other Clinton staffers were discussing legal proceedings regarding the release of her State Department emails, which were the focus of an eventual separate investigation. Fallon and his correspondents were talking about public information — the timing of public court hearings and public announcements — but the idea that Fallon, a former Justice Department staffer, was communicating with the department about the politically sensitive topic raises many questions. 
 
 "Today we learned, amazingly, that the Department of Justice fed information to the Clinton campaign about the email investigation so that the campaign could be prepared to cover up her crimes," Trump told a Florida rally Monday night. 
 
 In fact, the federal investigation into Clinton's email setup did not begin until later that year. Still, the Fallon email is likely to be a repeated talking point from the Trump camp, which has renewed its focus on the email investigation in the campaign's closing weeks. 
 
 Recall how much fallout there was earlier this year, when former President Bill Clinton briefly chatted with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, as the FBI investigation was drawing to a close. 
 
 Getting Town Hall Questions In Advance 
 
 On the eve of this summer's Democratic National Convention, WikiLeaks posted thousands of Democratic National Committee emails. The documents showed that many Democratic staffers were openly rooting for Clinton to prevail over primary opponent Bernie Sanders. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned following the leaks. Donna Brazile replaced her on an interim basis. 
 
 But a March 2016 email shows that Brazile may have been playing favorites, too. At the time, Brazile worked as a CNN commentator in addition to holding a position at the DNC. In an email with the subject, "From time to time I get the questions in advance," Brazile shared a question about the death penalty ahead of a CNN town hall event. "Here's one that worries me about HRC," she wrote. 
 
 "I never had access to questions and would never have shared them with candidates if I did," Brazile said in a statement. But the question she sent to Clinton staffers was very similar to one asked of Clinton the next night. 
 
 Like many Democrats, Brazile is highlighting Russia's suspected role in this year's political hacking. "Our Intelligence Community has made it clear that the Russian government is responsible for the cyberattacks aimed at interfering with our election, and that WikiLeaks is part of that effort. This revelation should deeply trouble all Americans in both parties," she wrote. 
 
 Catholicism And Evangelicals 
 
 The Trump campaign focused the bulk of its attention Wednesday on a 2011 exchange among Podesta, Jennifer Palmieri (now Clinton communications director) and Center For American Progress fellow John Halpin that includes condescending comments about religious conviction. 
 
 Pointing to a magazine article noting that conservative media titan Rupert Murdoch was raising his children as Catholics, Halpin wrote, "Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) ...they must be attracted to the systematic thought and [severely] backwards gender relations."

 Palmieri wrote back, "I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals." 
 
 Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, organized a conference call Wednesday afternoon and demanded that Clinton apologize for the remarks, which she said are "seething with disdain for us and our core beliefs." (Conway is Catholic.) 
 
 She continued, "The hostility toward religious liberty and to beliefs that we hold as Catholics should not go unnoticed or unpunished." 
 
 Asked about the email on Wednesday, Palmieri told reporters "I'm a Catholic" and said she did not recognize the email in question. 
 
 Of course, Trump has had his own problems with Catholics — most notably a high-profile fight he picked with Pope Francis last year in which he called Francis "disgraceful." Conway and other Trump surrogates on the call ducked a question about whether, after that, Trump has the ability to criticize others for insulting Catholics. 
 
 And on the issue of religious liberty as a whole, it was Trump — not Clinton — who called for a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the United States. 
 
 Patience With Risotto 
 
 Most of the emails are banal: mass mailings, newsletters and the like. 
 
 One email making the rounds from this most recent release focuses on some helpful cooking tips from Podesta, who is known in Washington as an accomplished cook. 
 
 Responding to a note about why risotto recipes call for slowly adding stock to the rice rather than all at once, Podesta dropped this culinary knowledge: 
 
 "The slower add process and stirring causes the rice to give up its starch which gives the risotto its creamy consistency. You won't get that if you dump all that liquid at once." 
 
 Patience plays a big part in getting that risotto just right.
– WikiLeaks has released a second batch of emails allegedly from Hillary Clinton's campaign chief John Podesta. Unlike the first group of leaked emails—which included excerpts from Hillary Clinton's sought-after Wall Street speeches— no showstopping info has yet surfaced from this batch of some 2,000 emails (though one of them does feature a long-time Bill Clinton aide calling Chelsea Clinton a "spoiled brat" who lacked focus in 2011). The emails were mostly sent during 2015, when the Clinton campaign was gearing up and struggling to find ways to compete with primary challenger Bernie Sanders, CNN reports. One of the emails is a 71-page opposition research file on Sanders titled "Sanders Hits," Fox News reports. While media outlets continue to comb the newly released documents for interesting scoops, the Clinton campaign reiterated its implication that WikiLeaks is deeply tied to the Russian government. The Russians, the campaign argues, are desperately trying to get Donald Trump elected. Clinton spokesperson Glen Caplin told Fox, "The timing shows you that even Putin knows Trump had a bad weekend and a bad debate." WikiLeaks claims to be in possession of more than 50,000 of Podesta's emails, so observers can more than likely expect to see more of these releases in the weeks leading up to the election.
