What Clinton said in her paid speeches:'She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director."'

NEW YORK -- 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."

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon dismissed the recollections as "pure trolling," while the Clinton campaign declined to comment further on calls that she release the transcripts of the three paid speeches she gave to Goldman Sachs, for which she earned a total of $675,000.

It may be trolling, but we won't know unless you release the transcripts.

Anyone who has read The Creature from Jekyll Island and who understands how central banks, the Fed Reserve, the primary banks, and politicians collude knows that she did not sound like a Managing Director but someone applying for a job as a low-level manager to carry out the directives of the senior managers at the primary banks.

But they have to sound “executive” in order to get those jobs.

If she wins, she will be a good little servant of those corrupt institutions.

The $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman was paid as “speaking fees” purely to make them Tax Deductible campaign contributions.

What a pain it must have been for the Goldman partners and heavy hitter investors to listen to her prattle,
