Hillary’s Wall Street Double Talk
More evidence of Clinton’s private versus public posturing comes to light.
WikiLeaks continued its dripping of Hillary Clinton-related hacked emails on Saturday, providing further information on Hillary Clinton’s 2013 Goldman Sachs sponsored speech — you know, the one where she told them politicians have public positions and private positions. The dumped documents reveal a cozy relationship with Wall Street. She told investors that “what you do is really important,” urging them to take on a greater role in crafting regulations. And she boasted she had “great relations" with Wall Street as New York’s senator. Anybody who pockets hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few speeches is bound to couch that as "great relations.”
On top of revelations of the DNC’s coordinated effort against Bernie Sanders, it’s no wonder Hillary is fearful of losing Sanders’ Millennials, who’d rather vote Communist than say anything nice about capitalism. Sanders made much of trying to get Clinton to release these transcripts, always implying that she was in the pocket of Wall Street. While there’s no bombshell here, you can imagine the ad play “great relations” would have gotten.
The Clinton campaign responded as it has all along — by blaming the Russians. “There is no getting around it,” said Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin. “Donald Trump is cheering on a Russian attempt to influence our election through a crime reminiscent of Watergate, but on a more massive scale.”
