Clinton Promises 'Absolutely, Absolutely' Nothing to Worry About in Wall Street Speeches

Not a huge surprise that Repukes are pretending to be critical of Wall Street. After all, they did very well in 2010 posing as defenders of Medicare and Social Security. Trump will run to her left on Iraq and TPP with just as little basis.

The other issue, as evidenced by a new ad attacking Clinton over the speeches, is the way in which the Republican Party and its surrogates will almost certainly exploit this weak spot during the general election if, in fact, she secures the Democratic nomination.

As CNN reported on Thursday:

A conservative super PAC tied to a number of top Republican donors will start airing an ad Saturday that knocks Hillary Clinton for delivering paid speeches to Wall Street and corporate groups and refusing to release the transcripts of those speeches.

The ad, which will air on CNN and MSNBC through Super Tuesday and was made by the group Future45, is the most recent attempt by Republicans to force Clinton to release transcripts of her paid speeches.

"Hillary Clinton gave speeches to the biggest banks on Wall Street after one of the worst financial crises in American history," a narrator says over video of a Clinton look-alike opening a check from Goldman Sachs. "But Hillary won't tell us what she said to those banks. They paid her over 1 million dollars and are contributing millions more to elect her."
