The Chronological sort shows that, beyond the single 2012 outlier email, Brazile's emails are sparse but appear regularly between January 4th, 2016, through March 12, 2016, the date of the second controversial debate question leak to the campaign.
It thus appears possible that within the eight possible gaps in the record, barring use of another email address, that one or more of these may contain further emails revealing debate questions, as promised in the March 12th email (the last as yet released). The eight possible is a maximum - with one at the start and two at the end of the numerical series potentially also Brazile emails - the other five, within the limits, are necessarily that of Brazile.
The primary candidates for likely results are 0001918 and 0001919 which are the gap after the March 12th email (0001917.eml). It is also a good possibility that the gap bettween the March 5th and 12th emails, 0001916.eml, may have a debate related email waiting to be released.
Beyond this, however, more information may be discovered by looking more closely to the Jennifer Palmieri emails and what she sent to Podesta. In addition it is worth looking more closely at the other accounts included in these emails: Betsaida Alcantara Í Minyon Moore and Adrienne Elrod.
With regard to the March 12th email we can see how and when John Podesta got tied in to the email chain. The original email was sent from Brazile to Palmieri at 4:39 P.M. Palmieri responded within minutes adding Betsaida Alcantara (balcantara @ hillaryclinton.com) to the conversation to forward Clinton's stock statement on the death penalty, which she admits is problematic, back to Brazile. Betsaida left the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as Assistant Director for Public Affairs (effectively a press aid), to become Director of Media Planning for the Clinton campaign.
It is with this email from Palmieri that Podesta gets tied in along with a carbon copy (CC) to Minyon Moore who holds a key position in strategy and outreach in the Clinton campaign. Moore is emailed at her Dewey Square Group email account, Minyon.Moore @ deweysquare.com, a high-profile Political Consultancy firm. Moore, a close confidant with Brazile, was also a member of the DNC Executive Committee, a former staffer with the Bill Clinton White House and the 2008 Hillary Presidential campaign, while actively participating in a formal role as part of the Hillary campaign - raising further issues with the DNC's internal enforcement of its Charter's neutrality rule.
It is in response to this follow-up, now with Podesta copied in, that the information became part of the Wikileaks dump. What this suggests, in addition to the relative infrequency of Brazile emails to Podesta suggesting she rarely communicates directly with him, is that Brazile would not necessarily or regularly include Podesta in emails containing this information. Clearly Palmieri and Moore would more likely be direct recipients. Many of her emails intended to be read by the Clinton "Debate Team" were sent to Palmieri and Podesta.
The first, March 5th, emailed debate question was sent to both with carbon copies to Moore as well as Adrienne Elrod (aelrod @ hillaryclinton.com). Elrod serves the campaign as a "Rapid Response" Campaign Spokesperson.
To exhaust the remaining information provided in the leaked Podesta emails thus far we can look to the "To" category for Brazille's email address. This should produce, in addition to the original Palmieri email of March 12th bringing Podesta into that conversation, all of the emails sent from Podesta to Brazile.
What this search reveals are 8 emails (2 from Palimieri to Brazile including the Palmier March 12th). The 6 others are emails from Podesta to Brazile but do not contain information on her releasing debate questions.
There are approximately 8,000 emails from Podesta to others. Within this set we can focus in on this period in March of 2016 and we do see there are a significant number of gaps in emails from Podesta. Again these gaps may reveal more on this particular issue as more emails are released.
In conclusion: The revelation of Brazile's role at CNN in providing advanced notice to the Clinton campaign about debate questions was a lucky discovery in the Podesta emails - as Brazile was not in the habit of communicating directly with the campaign chair. It was only when he was added in one email by Brazile (March 5th) and added in after the fact via follow-ups by Palmieri (March 12th) that this issue gets brought into the sphere of Podesta's emails.
It is possible that there may be further emails as yet unreleased from the Podesta set that will reveal further activities by Brazile in providing the questions. Even if that is the case the likelihood will be that there will only one or two more emails from Brazile of this nature - if any. This can be determined by an analysis of the database structure and the emails that have been released to date.
It should not be concluded, however, that therefore Brazile only played this part in these two debates on these two questions (or any further that are to be released from Brazile within the Podesta set). It is highly likely that if Brazile revealed further questions to the campaign that the email did not get sent to John Podesta.
