Report: Hillary's Wall Street Speech Transcripts Would 'Bury Her'
Townhall ^ | Feb 09, 2016 | Guy Benson

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, I asked this question: "We know she was reckless in her handling of national security secrets, but she's assiduously protective of whatever she said in those speeches. Why?" The assumption is that rather than corroborating her implausibly revisionist characterizations of what she said to those elite bankers who paid her six-figures per speech (her typical fee), the hidden transcripts would reveal a very chummy posture toward her supposed mortal enemies, or whatever. Such a revelation would further undermine her credibility among the Democratic base's rabidly anti-Wall Street base, buttress one of Bernie Sanders' central lines of attack, and again expose her as self-serving and genetically incapable of ruthful candor.

...

When Hillary Clinton spoke to Goldman Sachs executives and technology titans at a summit in Arizona in October of 2013, she spoke glowingly of the work the bank was doing raising capital and helping create jobs, according to people who saw her remarks. Clinton, who received $225,000 for her appearance, praised the diversity of Goldman's workforce and the prominent roles played by women at the blue-chip investment bank and the tech firms present at the event. She spent no time criticizing Goldman or Wall Street more broadly for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. "It was pretty glowing about us," one person who watched the event said. "It's so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.

...

her seeming inability to hold off the brutal attacks on her cozy relationship with Wall Street speaks to a startling lack of foresight.

I wonder if anyone at GS videotaped her speeches, or did it on a cell phone.

Could be a very valuable commodity about now.

“A startling lack of foresight”. Otherwise known as a fatal blindness.

Or a good way to commit suicide via gun to the back of the head.

"Her paid speech to G/S was like a rah-rah speech. It's so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director. It was pretty glowing about us," one person said.

Hillary never uttered a discouraging word. She never criticized Goldman or Wall Street for the 2008 financial crisis. But candidate Hillary is a whole different ballgame.

WATCHING THE CLINTONS OPERATE IS A LESSON IN WHAT BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS CALL "NARCISSTIC IMMUNITY"--- Wearing the mantle of "narcisstic immunity"---the Clintons believe that are so great, so tolerant and compassionate, so much more compassionate than us peons, that they can even operate above the law---nothing can touch them.

Every move the Clintons make is laser-focused on political "survival". The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them.

They are ultimately driven by greed-----salivating to get back into office....selling out the WH---thoughts of adding billions to their massive holdings dancing in their greedy heads.

THE CLINTONS NEVER LET ANYTHING INTERFERE W/ POLITICAL PROFITEERING

Hillary wants...

22 Above Top Secret emails released to the public that both the CIA and DIA have said will harm national security.

The contents of her speeches to Wall Street bigwigs kept secret.

It just occurred to me that I would like to take every dime the clintons have then give them $2000.00/ month and have them live forever. That would be justice.

“It just occurred to me that I would like to take every dime the clintons have then give them $2000.00/ month and have them live forever. That would be justice.” Can we handcuff them together? Now that would be fun.
