Supporters of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday expressed anger and vindication over leaked comments made by Hillary Clinton to banks and big business that appeared to confirm their fears about her support for global trade and tendency to cozy up to Wall Street.
Clinton, who needs Sanders' coalition of young and left-leaning voters to propel her to the presidency, pushes for open trade and open borders in one of the speeches, and takes a conciliatory approach to Wall Street, both positions she later backed away from in an effort to capture the popular appeal of Sanders' attacks on trade deals and powerful banks.
The excerpts of remarks by the former secretary of state, made in 2013 and 2014 in closed-door meetings where audiences paid to attend, were published online on Friday by WikiLeaks, which sourced them to the email account of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman.
Reuters could not independently verify the authenticity of the speech transcripts. Clinton has previously declined to release any such transcripts.

Mr Trump can get a lot of the Bernie voters
especially given how much they hate HilLIARy as a corrupt liar......and how much they resent her ‘buying the rigged nomination’ with her purchase of the “super delegates”
Less enthusiasm for an unenthusiastic campaign.
Trump can get a lot of young voters. He needs to talk about the poor job prospects for college graduates and how the national debt will hurt them in the future.
Bernie was part of the fix.
and tell them..if u cant vote for me.......at least vote your conscience and write in Bernie!!
At any time, was Comey in the audience of any Hillary speeches to the ‘banking industry’ while Comey was a board member of the bank later - supposedly - accused of laundering money for drug lords and the Clinton Crime Family Foundation?
They should be outraged that the DNC was scripting Bernie’s demise. He never had a chance. It was rigged.
"My opponent is owned by filthy Wall Street interests."
"Please vote for my opponent".
“The Clinton campaign said it would not confirm the accuracy of the documents released by WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.” Oh but Hillary did herself when she used Abe Lincoln to try to lie her way out of the public face/private face comment caught in one of her speeches.
I agree, they dont seem at all upset by this, at least anyone I know.
