Hillary Clinton Stalls on Goldman Sachs Speeches

[FreakinDJ]

But the negative insinuations are already there, as Politico related in the story of an unnamed source who attended one of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speeches in Arizona. The source related the tone and content of Clinton's speech that day as a "rah-rah speech," where Clinton came off sounding more like a "Goldman Sachs managing director."

Politico reported, "'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.'"

"She didn't often talk about the financial crisis, but when she did, she almost always struck an amicable tone, according to these people.

"In some cases, she thanked the audience for what they had done for the country, the people said. One attendee said the warmth with which Mrs. Clinton greeted guests bordered on 'gushy.'

1. She DOES sound like a ''Goldman Sachs managing director.''

"I don't know. That's what they offered."

[FreakinDJ]

3. That statement was another Clinton UnTruth

it has been demonstrated her minimum speaking fees was $200K

[beedle]

36. And that was the 'discounted fee' she provides for educational institutes

UCLA I believe it was, was charged $200K and asked for a discount. She told that that was her discounted fee for universities.

So yes, she obviously did lie when she said that was what 'they' offered ... of course it doesn't raise to the level of Bernie saying 'yep'

[Marr]

2. Think about how your head must have to spin to support Hillary.

In the space of 5 minutes, you have to argue that it's fine for Hillary to have secret meetings with Mammon itself, but Sanders meeting the Pope is an embarrassing condemnation of his character.

5. price of souls tumbling or skyrocketing?

is it a buyers or sellers market?

[FreakinDJ]

21. NONE of the Republican candidates have given paid speeches to Wall Street either - just Hillary.

NONE of the Republican candidates have given paid speeches to Wall Street either - just Hillary.


Rubio hasn’t given paid speeches to Wall st. Kasisch hasn’t given paid speeches to Wall Street, Cruz hasn’t given paid speeches to Wall Street and Trump IS Wall Street and certainly isn’t giving any paid speeches to them.

Time for Hillary to release the transcripts. She said she would release them AFTER every candidate has released theirs. Well it is done. They are released. It was a good bet while it lasted. Now she must own up to her promise and release them now.

Well there goes another Clinton Campaign Myth

[hollysmom]

24. I believe it is against the law while they are in office, but in the past had none done that?

[DemocracyDirect]

27. It has really bad optics to do that kind of thing.

I have no idea why anyone thinking of running for office would do this kind of thing.

Unless they were a well known motivational speaker or a subject matter expert doing their thing.

It's just reckless.

[FreakinDJ]

29. Paying a Former Secretary of State vs: A Hopeful Wannbe

[Silver_Witch]

26. I am thinking..

It is because republicans are such fucking morons no one on Wall Street would pay for their idotic BS! Just saying!

[bkkyosemite]

4. ""'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"

This is what is the problem with Hillary. She is lying to the public as to who she really is. It's not only what she does behind closed doors, it's in her facial expressions, her body language and intent in her eyes when she is mad. She is not who people think she is. It saddens me that our political process is being rigged and those that are in the club are the ones who are the controllers. The Country is waking up. There is a revolution that will show more and more their distaste for this theater of lies and deception.

[FreakinDJ]

7. Hillary has history of Flip Flopping

[Dragonfli]

17. Many are waking up with more to follow, the Political Revolution will continue beyond this election

[font size="4"][center]Many may still be sleeping, but the awakening has begun![/font][/center]

In their somnolence many are only dimly aware of lies and propaganda as told by the corporate owned media and thus some support a candidate that openly and habitually lies to them in order to continue serving her masters that have already made her a multimillionaire by doing their bidding at our expense.

However some dreamers have awakened! Many no longer follow the mcpravda media and are seeing with their own newly opened eyes as their lives and livelihoods fall apart all around them while the billionaires capture all the wealth created by the work and effort of those that see themselves falling either from middle class into the working poor, or from the poor to the desperately impoverished. while at the same time witnessing the once solid safety nets put into place to keep them safe and fed, free from the horrid conditions of more Dickensian times being ripped to shreds little by little before their eyes, with both parties complicit in their destruction.

One need look no farther than a Republican stump speech or the more cleverly hidden common goals of the new Democrats that have become Vichy collaborators that hide their plans in the open to destroy those safeguards against complete hopelessness by perusing the chapters of the PPI or Third Way sites where they scheme with the (john Birch Society Transformed) Republican party to not only recreate the gilded age (which they have already done).....

[hollysmom]

25. it is still going strong, but I think it is too late.

[Dragonfli]

32. Possibly, but I hope in a desperate way, it is not too late for a peaceful political revolution

[Kip Humphrey]

6. Can we afford the smartphone video appearing during the GE by some enterprising GS republicon?

think about it.

[SusanCalvin]

20. We can't and it will. She needs to release them now. nt

[laserhaas]

8. She has taken money from the racketeering Goldman Sachs

and that's never going to bode well - especially when Sachs keeps getting slap on wrist fines for intentional malfeasance

[laserhaas]

9. We can prove that Goldman Sachs is doing crime - intentionally - without remorse or relent

Just look at eToys case and Fingerhut

[FlatBaroque]

10. Her speeches were essentially grooming the next wave of Clinton money bundlers /

[laserhaas]

11. Need proof that there's a revolving door of Goldman Sachs with federal watchdogs - we have that -too

SEC and Goldman Sachs are almost like twins

Sachs's Delaware law firm is MNAT

MNAT's partner - Colm Connolly became the Delaware United States Attorney

who constantly never disclosed his connections to Goldman Sachs

and Kept Goldman Sachs from being investigation (much less prosecuted)

[laserhaas]

15. Need proof DOJ will bend over backwards to avoid prosecuting Sachs - we also have that covered

Once we found proof that our eToys counsel (MNAT) was lying and hiding the facts of also representing Sachs

while our eToys was suing Sachs (therefore - in essence - Sachs sued Sachs and eToys lost)

and we also discovered that the United States Attorney (Colm Connolly) was a partner of Sachs's law firm MNAT

we reported it to the PUblic Corruption Task Force in Los Angeles

Which was then SHUT DOWN and career federal prosecutors were threatened to silence

See Los Angeles Times article "Shake-up roils federal prosecutors"

Asked about the recent dismantling of a high-profile unit in the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles that specialized in public corruption cases, an office spokesman provided what some saw as a curious justification:

Eliminating the public integrity and environmental crimes section, spokesman Thom Mrozek said, would actually enhance the effort to prosecute such cases.

{Task Force US Attorney} O'Brien threatened to tarnish their reputations if they challenged the official explanation for the unit's dismantling in conversations with reporters. Members of the unit contacted by The Times either spoke on the condition that they not be named or declined to comment. Several said they wanted to talk about the situation but feared reprisals if they did so.

[FreakinDJ]

34. "they wanted to talk about the situation but feared reprisals if they did so".

Very Damming

[laserhaas]

37. Revolving door with feds - Fear - and common sense

We get those wanting to be dealt in

and others saying - HELL NO - you're on your own with this one

Only fools (such as I) venture into sagas - where angels fear to tread

[SHRED]

12. Her daughter and son-in-law are financially tied to GS

Hillary was paid heavily for speeches to the same institutions who crashed the economy with their hedge fund schemes and toxic mortgage-backed securities.

Her son-in-law worked 8 years in the hedge fund industry at Goldman Sachs before starting his own hedge fund group into which the Goldman Sachs CEO is invested.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/03/23/business/dealbook/for-clintons-a-hedge-fund-in-the-family.html

And her campaign manager John Podesta (Group) handles PR (public relations) for billions of dollars in arms sales to the Saudis from such big players like Lockheed Martin.
You know Saudi Arabia?... the country responsible for 9/11?
Well the John Podesta Group is essentially a go-between that helps Saudi Arabia with their image to further sales growth in weaponry, etc.

The military industrial banking complex is powerful and they want her at the helm.

They are more comfortable with her as President rather than Bernie.

13. These transcripts are going to come out in the General.

And it will further deflate enthusiasm for the Democratic vote.

[laserhaas]

16. If they are an issue of the General Election - we've already lost

because Bernie isn't there.

[tabasco]

14. The speeches must be pretty damning,

because H. Clinton is accepting a great deal of damage to keep the transcripts secret.

[laserhaas]

18. See my links in comments above - Goldman Sachs was premeditated in destroying

our eToys.com public company

continued the crimes in the bankruptcy courts, NY Supreme Court, NY, DE and CA District and Circuit Courts

doing so by corruptly arranging for a Goldman Sachs attorney to become the very prosecutor over the cases

and then shutting down the Public Corruption Task Force - to continue the cover up

Anybody who took millions from such a company wouldn't ever want the facts to come to main stream light

And its too late to stop it from doing so.

[SusanCalvin]

19. That's exactly what I've always thought was in them.

And I still say full release would sink her.

[lakeguy]

22. This kind of stuff will come out during the GE like a

tidal wave. No one will believe a word HRC says after that, not that many people do now.

[silvershadow]

23. do we happen to know who was in attendance?

[DemocracyDirect]

30. Speculation is that Heidi Cruz was in attendance.

And that might explain why the Republican establishment is becoming accepting of Ted Cruz.

[amborin]

28. her emails were more accessible:

:large

[FreakinDJ]

31. LOL

[appalachiablue]

33. !

[Else You Are Mad]

35. I don't think that there are anything...

Spectacularly bad in the speeches, probably just boilerplate platitudes and praise for the company. The problem stems from the fact that -- thanks to Bernie Sanders stance on wall street -- Hillary has said she was always strong on wall street. And one can't praise wall Street while telling them to cut it out at the same time.

What concerns me is that the worst case scenario is that it's Hillary v. Cruz and Cruz's wife some how leaks the transcripts.

She really just needs to release them and get it over with.
