The evidence is the NYT saying it. Along with other publications. In fact, you have argued that the evidence is just administrative and no big deal. The US government gets consulted before the story runs.
Stalin would be proud.
Make sure you dont get someone killed or something? Sure, thats procedural amd acceptable.
That isnt what happened here. What happened here is that the NYT tipped them off to an otherwise secret production schedule for stories that were inflammatory to Hillary and her team.
There may be other info shared, but thats not what is included here
you really dont see a problem with that?
Maybe not a legal problem insomuch as a blow to the credibility of the NYT, and a clue to the corruption of a former US official.

It's not propaganda because it is true. Hillary is, has been, and will always be a lying sack of shlt. The hyperventilating left is freaking out because they've had their psychotropic love fest with Obama's handouts come to a crashing halt and they can't handle the new reality they no longer matter.
No amount of screaming at the sky (yeah...you people actually did this), no amount of denial, no amount of fake news, no amount of telling yourself "it's not real" is going to change the fact you are now marginalized. And for the next 7 years no less.
Just wait...it's going to get sooooooooo much worse for the hyperventilating left.
So you do or do not think its normal for journalist to contact subjects of their stories before they post them?

Nonetheless...passing an otherwise secret production schedule to the target of an investigative story of when stories about said target are being published...you really dont see a problem with that?

Its not national security to tip of someone about the relase schedule of damaging information.
You are using it as a red herring.

I just want to thank the OP for proving wikileaks is now without a doubt nothing more than a right wing propaganda mouthpiece.
I have yet to see their "spin" layed out in such a obvious manner. You talk about the deep state? The actual one is right here. In front of everybody.

The DNC house of cards is crumbling fast.
The only way they can clean up this mess is total amnesia striking the American public.
Time to take out the trash and put it where it belongs.
The beauty of this is, the DNC is can commit murder on the street in front of faux news cameras but the public will be out in droves voting dem because of the repubs and Trump. Trump will be cancer to anyone claiming association with him, have already seen it happen when he endorsed a couple of guys, people who should have won didn't because Trump endorsed them.

M.y problem with this is that the stories beimg referenced were about Hillary. It wasnt some routine administrative article, or an expose on government. It was relating to alleged crimes by Hillary, and she was given a preview amd opportunity to redact prior to it being run.
But that aside, i find it indefensible that our government would be given a chance to review media stories prior to beimg issued. The headline here should read, "US government under Obama exerts control over media and creates an advertising supported propaganda machine."
This isnt fake news. It really happened. The government influences media directly in the USA. Our press is obviously not "free".
