1. "It (Hillary's speech) was pretty glowing about us," said a Goldman Sachs attendee.

"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."

That's telling them to "cut it out", folks.

We deserve to see the transcripts.

3. Thankfully this issue is NOT going away for Hillary

It's already been brought-up at two debates, and she's had to dodge & weave and
obfuscate .. yet Hillary's supporters don't seem to notice, don't seem to care that
"their candidate" is already bought-and-paid-for by Wall St. and other odious
corporate interests, such as Monsanto, Big Pharma, and private prisons.

And as if this weren't preposterous enough, Team Hillary keeps insisting how uber-
progressive she is as a candidate in the Democratic Primary. It is just mind
boggling how otherwise seemingly rational caring people can comport themselves
in this manner -- as if the imperative of cognitive dissonance is somehow magically
suspended, because Hillary is 'so special', or something like that.

any REAL interviewers/reporters who could get an intimate interview with Dame Hillary, it would be a great moment when one of them cornered her as to WHAT it is she's afraid of in those transcripts. Sure, they weren't intended for public consumption - but we're now talking the keys to the Oval Office. I/we have the right to know what sort of wooing/scolding she laid on them for the fees they paid. Of course, we already KNOW what they say generally, but to have her defend that she sounded like a managing director - I could argue it's not such a stretch to have called her speeches a matter of national security. The last banking meltdown could wear the lable: Domestic Terrorism. So if we're kissing Wall Street's ass again, how is that not a conspiracy against the USA?

We just need someone with a big enough brush and a large truth pail of paint who can paint her into a corner!
