   A leaked email from a member of President Barack Obama’s White   
   House transition team in 2008 reveals that if you’re white and   
   not disabled, you are not diverse enough for the Obama   
   administration.   
      
   The email released by WikiLeaks is from October 6, 2010 and is   
   sent from Michael Froman to Obama. Froman was then at Citigroup   
   and a member of Obama’s transition team. He has served as U.S   
   Trade Representative since 2013. The subject line of the email   
   was “Diversity.”   
      
   Froman wrote: “Barack — Following up on your conversations with   
   John over the weekend, attached are two documents: — A list of   
   African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, divided   
   between Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant   
   Secretary levels, as well as lists of senior Native Americans,   
   Arab/Muslim Americans and Disabled Americans. We have longer   
   lists, but these are candidates whose names have been   
   recommended by a number of sources for senior level jobs in a   
   potential Administration.”   
      
   The transition team member also wrote, “A list of women,   
   similarly divided between candidates for Cabinet/Deputy and   
   other senior level positions.”   
      
   The Daily Caller has previously reported on an exclusive   
   document provided by hacker Guccifer 2.0 which showed the Obama   
   transition team in October 2015 labeled political appointees by   
   race and gender.   
      
   Below is the key they would use. Missing are “white” and “male,”   
   which were clearly not prioritized by the Obama transition team.
