QUESTION: Secretary Clinton, as a realtor here in Nevada I know personally how important the economy, and the housing market is to the stability of our great nation. As the Democratic presidential candidate who has delivered speeches to the largest U.S. financial institution in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees, why are you hesitant to release transcripts, or audio-video recordings of those meetings in order to be transparent with the American people regarding the promises, and assurances that you have made to the big banks?
(APPLAUSE)
CLINTON: Well, let me say this. I'm happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same, because every other candidate in this race has given speeches to private groups, including Senator Sanders.
(APPLAUSE)
CLINTON: But let me get to the heart of your question. I was the candidate who went to Wall Street before the crash. I was the candidate who went to them and said you are wrecking our economy. What you are doing with mortgages is going to bring us down.
I called to end the carried interest loophole for hedge fund managers. I called to reign in CEO pay. I now have the most effective and comprehensive plan to deal with the threats that Wall Street poses, and I go further than Senator Sanders does because I want to go through after all the other bank bad actors.
The bad actors like hedge funds, the bad actors like AIG, the insurance company. Like Countrywide mortgage. I take a backseat to nobody in being very clear about what I will do to make sure Wall Street never crashes main street again. And, that you can count on.
(APPLAUSE)

(12,606 posts)We need a strong candidate who can look Wall Street right between the head and not be afraid to make the hard cash deposites to ensure their future. A strong 1% will will bring the 99% along for the ride.

Something real will be released by the GOP detailing the deception once she has the nomination.

Yes indeed, recycling Clinton back to the dust bin of history!
YAY Sanders!!!

(490 posts)tries to tell us that she is going after them. Yeah, that's what they paid her $3750 a minute for. Ok, if that's what the speeches were about let's hear them. If not, give us one plausible reason why not. If she can give no reason for her stonewalling and doesn't release the transcripts she is not fit to occupy the office. I'm sorry, I can't fathom the level of cognitive dissonance necessary to believe Hillary's story that she criticized Wall Street as they were paying her hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour but she wont prove it because what? We told those people enough already? She seems to be channeling the Romneys. The ball is in your court Hillary.

(15,189 posts)So you approve I take it. She did say she would release hers if Bernie did. It's unrealistic for her to wait for the GOP. I'm sure she won't release her taxes till the last minute either. More lies, but some don't care about the truth.

(19,161 posts)I've got $38 bucks in my account that ain't doing nothin' -- if 6,849 more people will all just chip in an equal amount, we can BUY her speech, and she won't even have to give it again!
But to be fair, at this point, she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. If she does now, who's going to believe that TeamClinton hasn't spent the last 17 days polishing them up for public display? If she doesn't, at least everything speculated about what's in them will be just that -- speculation, and easily dismissed. Just stonewall like hell and wait for it to blow over. It's the Clinton way!
I still maintain that the content isn't the killer anyway -- it's why whatever content there is was considered worth a quarter-million bucks. And I think I already know the answer to that.

(162 posts)It is not ethical to accept hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who you will be expected to regulate once in office.
Unless you live in bizarro world.
I don't really care who people support, but to pretend that there's nothing fishy about this arrangement is an insult to everybody's intelligence.
