"Why Hillary Clinton Will NEVER Release Transcripts Of Her Paid Speeches"

1. Because "It will bury her"

Says an attendee to the Goldman Sachs speeches. No surprise there.

In the age of YouTube, politicians can't lie anymore, unless they control the levers of power. In a democracy within an age of ubiquitous technology, those levers belong to everyone.
Only corruption stands between the current oligarchy and democracy.

Feel the Bern!

28. Eactly.....I have a better chance reading Obama's email than ever seeing those transcripts.

[CorporatistNation]

34. Hillary Is YHUGELY "Disingenuous" About Da $! As A Candidate for U.S. House...

I got the offer from a Big Pharma Lobbyist... "____ IF you're willing to work with, play ball with the Pharmaceutical Industry we'll get you all the contributions you want..." I did not take it and replied, Where would my credibility be IF I did the same thing as my Republican opponent does? DONE I did not get elected! THAT IS HOW THE SYSTEM "WORKS..."

Knowing WHAT I know from personal experience as a candidate for the U. S. House of Representatives I SUPPORT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS exclusively because he IS telling the TRUTH... He has it RIGHT and HE CAN BE TRUSTED... whereas his opponent, the former Secretary of State... CANNOT... be trusted!

2. For the same reason Obama didn't release his Birth Certificate until it was time

to cram it down the throats of critics. Do you really think she stood before hundreds of people as a keynote speaker and drew a pie chart of how she'd conspire to steal from the poor and give it to the wealthy?

[tk2kewl]

5. no, but what do you suppose she did say?

[Hoyt]

6. Jokes and talked about regulatory environment, world affairs, the future, etc.

Things a keynote speaker like her talks about, and investors are interested in.

[tk2kewl]

8. "things investors are interested in"

. Might even include something about the economy. Maybe even banking regulation/deregulation. so let's hear what she said to them about these things visa vie what she has to say to the rest of us. If it's consistent her claim that their money doesn't hold influence might be able to hold some water

[Hoyt]

9. Like the future. For example, does she see government support of Green industries. If so, investors

investors might be more inclined to pump money into the industry which is good for them and the country.

[tk2kewl]

10. insider info? that's what it is if its not open to us IMO

[Hoyt]

12. Sure it's open to you, you just have to do a little reading and research. Something I don't see a

lot of among those who believe a lot of Sanders' fantasies and promises.

She also spoke to the American Camping Association, Women's Real Estate Council, UCLA and other colleges, Gap, Society for Human Resources Management, Green Building Council, Let's Talk Entertainment, American Jewish University, American College of Pathology, Travel Industry, Beaumont Health System, International Dairy Bakery Deli Association, Canada 2020, Ebay, and a bunch more like that.

You guys really crack me up.

[tk2kewl]

13. and did those others pay 5Gs per min?

[Hoyt]

14. They paid her standard fee of $225,000 upwards. If I were trying to fill an arena and impress folks

$5Gs per minute is not a bad rate. Heck, how much does a a top football player make. Of course, it took a lot more than a few minutes to get to the point where people want to hear you so much that they will pay that.

[tk2kewl]

15. these talks were given in arenas? really?

[Hoyt]

16. Is that all you have. They were certainly given in big convention halls/banquet rooms.

Titles are limited to a certain number of words, you know.

[tk2kewl]

17. big difference between a banquet hall and arena

a couple of orders of magnitude in numbers of people.

[Hoyt]

19. Here's a few examples

[tk2kewl]

20. examples of what? am i supposed to do a reverse image search?

[Hoyt]

21. You can do what you want. I'd suggest doing some research or heck, just read TPP for the first time

[tk2kewl]

23. nice chatting

[berniepdx420]

37. They are not open to us... if they were and you found them and they weren't damaging to her you

would of posted them all over .... the word from folks who were there is they would destroy her campaign if the transcripts were made public

[Yupster]

24. I've been to lots of corporate regional meetings where they bring in a high paid celebrity speaker

The main reason to bring them in is to make workers feel good about their company.

Therefore the speeches are peppered with compliments to the company. The speaker will open his speech saying how happy he is to be speaking before X company. Then he will spend 10 minutes detailing why X company is such a great company and how much its done for America.

That's why she won't release the speeches. They will be filled with lines about how great Goldman Sachs is and what a storied history it's had and how much America owes to Goldman Sachs.

Nothing against Hillary. That's just how those speeches go. Goldman Sachs doesn't pay someone $ 200,000 to insult it.

[tk2kewl]

25. if it's more or less innocuous platitudes i wouldn't hold it against her

but given, among other things, we know she said this at the NASDAQ, i doubt her comments were just platitudes

“Now these economic problems are certainly not all Wall Street’s fault – not by a long shot,” Clinton said early in the speech.

[grasswire]

26. we know what she said to Goldman Sachs

Thanks to Matt Taibbi and Politico.

She told Goldman Sachs that the Recession of 2008 was not solely the fault of Wall Street; that WE ALL contributed to it, and she told them that WE all must fix it.

She gave them a way to sleep at night, absolving them of full responsibility.

[Hoyt]

31. Well, government, speculators, over building, people who really couldn't afford the loan, etc.

were part of the problem. Again, she was right, but some folks just want to blame it on one participant.

[berniepdx420]

38. +420

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. My guess is that companies don't pay big big BIG bucks to be criticized.

The pay big big BIG bucks to get their asses kissed. Hillary Clinton would probably melt if she knew people were watching her do that.

[SusanCalvin]

35. Oh, that's exactly right. And it was almost certainly nothing heinous.

I still say it would sink her if it came out.

Oh, and, that's why it was a stupid thing to do if she wanted to run for president. Which she did. Poor judgment.

[berniepdx420]

39. +420

It also says where her bread is buttered... I can't imagine Bernie or Warren being paid that much to speak to Goldman Sax... Such an illustration of the to Candidates

[Hiraeth]

30. well. at least you admit that she "...conspire to steal from the poor and give it to the wealthy..."

[berniepdx420]

36. Oh a bit naive don't ya think ?

[JDPriestly]

41. No. But I don't really think she told them to "cut out the cheating."

She may have told them to cut out something else, but not the fraud and the cheating.

[Skwmom]

3. I am sure they are "working" on the transcripts. n/t

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.”

[AzDar]

11. Maybe they'd reveal she's blaming Main St. again?

[MrMickeysMom]

18. IT WILL SHOW HER CAMPAIGN TO BE BASED ON NOTHING BUT LIES...

This variety would be the Goldman Girl Lie.

How many days is it that we're waiting for these transcripts now?

[UglyGreed]

22. If the release of the transcripts

would aid her bid for POTUS they would never of been hidden from the public in the first place. Like Bernie said, we the American people are not dumb......

[speaktruthtopower]

27. It's their style

[speaktruthtopower]

29. What was her billing rate at the Rose Law Firm?

[EndElectoral]

32. She's got to watch what she says now as some enterprising person will tape her remarks.

[SusanCalvin]

33. What I've said since the topic came up. Where's a leaker...? nt

[99Forever]

40. Dirty corrupt politicians HATE sunlight on the rotten things they do behind closed doors.

Why doesn't Hillary put sunlight on her words to the banksters by releasing those transcripts and embarrass us for ever doubting her?


We're waiting Hillary.

Tick tock.
