Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWhen will Bernie release the transcripts of his Bank of America speech?
Bernie Sanders, sinking in the democratic primary race and now 1.7 million popular votes behind rival Hillary Clinton, has settled on his last ditch effort at getting back into the game. Hes insinuating that Clinton cant be trusted and has something to hide because she gave speeches sponsored by Wall Street entities like Goldman Sachs. Release the transcripts, he now routinely demands. One little problem: Sanders just gave a speech sponsored by Bank of America and Liberty Mutual. Will he release his transcripts?
The Bernie Sanders speech took place on Friday, February 5th of this year in New Hampshire. The Program Sponsors for the event, which is fancy way of listing the corporate entities that forked over money, includes no less than five of the multibillion dollar corporate entities that Sanders routinely blames for all the nations ills while insisting he hasnt taken any money from.
The list includes Bank of America, Comcast, Fidelity Investments, Liberty Mutual, and Lincoln Financial Group. Its a whos who of the Wall Street entities that Bernie routinely professes to hate. Theyre the same kind of entities to whom Clinton was speaking while she held no political office but Bernie gave his corporate speech while he was a sitting Senator. His speech to these groups was almost certainly harmless, but as long as hes accusing his opponents of having something to hide by giving similar speeches, hed do well to release the transcripts of his own speeches.

(30,058 posts)why the demand for Hillary to release her transcripts of speeches of which she was paid to give and in turn donated the money to charity. He should have offered his transcripts before demanding those of his opponent, let us determine if those conversations with different lobbyists have influenced his voting, this I would be very interested. Since those speeches Hillary gave was not at a time in which she was in Congress, it would be more interesting to read the transcripts of Sanders since he has been a member of Congress for twenty five years, has made many votes.
