Senator Ted Cruz's wife has the Goldman vocal transcripts? Then Hillary needs to leave the race.
Former Senator Bob Kerrey of NE has already made a very public statement, "if Hillary's Goldman Sachs transcripts get out, it will end her campaign!"
You know these elites are always compromising each other in such nefarious ways, some downright gross and perverted. While she was honing her rolodex, laying her 'seed work' as always for the bigger job future, did she not think that even if SHE is the owner of all her words, the reporter taking the notes is her hire, that THEY would not record it to use against HER, if and when THEY needed it? Hillary knows this game. I wondered why when she left State and was 'thinking about running', why is she doing these speeches? They will bring harm to her campaign! Bill is out speaking making millions! We needed her to take care of herself, for the race today. She chose the money. She chose Sid. She's had a lot of choices to make. Selling fracking around the world at State, knowing she wanted to be the President. We are better than all of this. Like so much else in her suitcase, senator Bob Kerrey is right. And you can bet it's Cruz's wife, who WORKED FOR GOLDMAN SACHS who would have done this, so easily, while she listened to the speech herself. This is why it's Hillary, who needs to get out of this race.

Pretty hard to argue that Hillary is not a "Public Figure" and the American People DON'T have a "Right to Know" The Video could be released by some one other then Goldman and the argument made the American People have the "Right to Know" what is on those tapes. Sure she could argue the point all the way up to the Supreme Court if she wants but by then the Tape is already out there |

126. The "Test" of a "Public Fiqures" is not as high as you think
Nice try - but Clinton running for office excludes her for protection
People in a Position of Responsibility
Concerning the first group, while politicians are obvious candidates, it also includes businessmen, and, on a more local level, teachers, clergymen and policemen. The definition of privacy (according to the OED) states that people should be “free from public attention, as a matter of choice or right.” In my opinion, taking a position of power takes away from this area of privacy. It is proportional, in that at the highest level of power (politicians) your actions will necessarily be of public attention, whereas at the lower level (teachers) the majority of your actions should not be of interest to the public. http://hubpages.com/politics/Do-Public-Figures-have-Privacy-Rights This is really Hillary's Fault and Hillary's Fault alone The Republicans obviously have the tapes and are waiting for the proper moment to inflect the maximum amount of damage to her soiled reputation. Who knows, with the eventual release she could even beat Trump's Negatives. Had Hillary chosen to diffuse the situation and release the transcripts when this first became an issue then she would not be sitting on the "Time Bomb" she is now. So lets not devolve into "It's all Bernie Supporter's fault". Hillary was and for the time being, is fully in control of the situation. She chose to perform the speaking engagements, and she choose to try and conceal it after the fact |

He's a poorly educated, white-flight political hack socialist who has a god complex. He's an asshole, just like the rest of them. You don't like that Clinton covered for the war in Iraq?

75. You are so wrong for this! You hurl this vile crap at me for political gain or you are too caught
in your blind fervor for "Hillary" that you refuse to look at facts!
First, what happened at Sandy Hook was beyond the pale! Every it as bad as the millions of people, men women and children killed around the world by the weapons deals Hillary made for her MIC donors; Second, as an an attorney I know a thing or two about THE LAW! Bernie has stated he voted against holding a gun manufacturer liable for a legally sold, non-defective gun. if some one buys a defective gun and it blows up in their face, they are liable. If someone legally buys a gun and blows away a whole bunch of innocent kids, not liable. That is the law unless you want to ban guns. Your candidate hasn't come out wanting to ban guns has she? Third, Bernie wants to get the money out of politics to restore Representative Democracy so that our politicians will once again be accountable to us, We the People! After Sandy Hook over 90% of us wanted an assault weapons ban and background checks, something that Bernie was for before this election. The power of the Lobbyiests prevented any action to do this despite the 90+% of us who wanted it! Hillary is the poster child for taking campaign money from Lobbiests and everyone else! She wants to perpetuate this system Don't you go hurling vile accusations about something so horrible at me! Why don't you spend your time learning about how things really stand. Also, go look at all of the dead children from the Boko Haram massacres and look in the mirror! |

Clearly, it is legal under the law to support Sandy Hook gun sales. But it ain't moral by a long, long stretch.

Sorry, Dustlawyer has the facts right. This is not something that is a matter of opinion. These are facts that Dustlawyer has laid out for you.
I think most progressives don't like easy access to guns and various loopholes that exist. But to hold a manufacturer responsible when someone goes to a store and buys one of their guns legally and then uses it to commit a crime? Really? The manufacturers somehow know that their legally manufactured guns are going to be used to commit a robber or murder? |

The Saudi donations go back as far as 2001, long before the arms deal. Hillary could not have finagled a deal alone, since arms deals are incredibly complex, often take 7 years, and are mostly handled by DOD. We've been selling arms to Saudi Arabia for decades, so there's nothing new about this arms deal. Those deals create lots of jobs here. You have no evidence that an exchange of one thing for the other took place.
What you are alleging is illegal. The Clintons make no money from the foundation. Why would they break the law when there was nothing in it for them? |

Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data. That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

we nailed her to a cross to hear some people speak here at DU for issuing the slightest bit of criticism.
If she and her supporters are that thin-skinned, wait until Trump or Cruz get a hold of her in the GE. We're fucking Democrats on a Democratic forum and a decent portion of us think she is not a good candidate. Who thinks this is a great idea going into the GE when there will be competition with Republicans? |

I have a question: why is there an 'ignore button', something that many people are reluctant to use, myself included, but no 'promote', or 'like', or 'follow' button? Is DU simply about finding people you don't agree with and ignoring them? Maybe I just missed the spot where I get to follow interesting people? |

Before that could happen, a FAUX affiliate broke the news about W's very old DUI. The DUI story obliterated the AWOL story, which would have been infinitely more damaging.

That puts things in quite a precarious predicament. I never expect for the Justice Dept to nail Hillary any more than they'd go after Bush/Cheney. Fitzmas still burns in my memory.. And all the conflict of interest wrt Clinton Foundation, I recall Cheney and Halliburton. Maybe HRC and Bill has had that factoid in mind themselves and much more. who knows how these people with their privilege think But if Cruz's wife has the recordings of these private meetings.. those might be used to "indict" Hillary not legally, but politically.

98. After the primaries, what risk are the transcripts?
If the transcripts show Hillary to be pro-Wall Street that's not going to hurt her in the general election. Most liberals will vote for her no matter what, and there is a whole group of moderate Republican-leaning independents who would actually like it if Clinton was sympathetic to Wall Street. So, if Cruz or Trump have the transcripts, I don't think they will release them except as an act of desperation late in the campaign.

106. My gut feeling is that there are plenty of snippets that can be manipulated
to sound damaging if they are taken out of context. We saw something similar happen with George Clooney's statements last week, and it only served to strengthen the argument that both the media and partisans manipulate the information it disseminates to fit a preferred narrative.
It would be interesting to get transcripts of the talks that Senator Sanders gave to large dollar donors at the fund raising retreats that he hosted for the DSCC to see just how damaging selective reporting of cherry-picked statements can be to someone's overall message. If Mrs. Cruz has "vocal transcripts" and chooses to make that information public, let her. No one except for Republicans and sufferers of CDS is going to believe that Heidi's manipulation represents a full and honest account of the speeches. If the argument is that Hillary should bow out because the Republicans are going to use things she has said in the past to try to negatively define her, then maybe the Democrats should just sit this one out because this is going to happen no matter who the candidate is. Ask President Obama. |

122. Mitt Romney's 47% speech
may or may not have captured the mood or intent, but that was the final nail in the coffin on his bid for Presidency.
Hanging hopes on Hillary being our nominee is a fool's errand. Republicans have enough ammunition to blow up the moon. It is going to come down to the Clinton Foundation. Conflict of Interest galore. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I don't see the mistake in the making. |

there was probably mild pandering, but its not likely there are videos of them all chanting "screw the poor" together.
