Clinton Angrily Defends Paid Speeches, Defiant On Releasing Transcripts

[drokhole]

60. Way to lead by example, Hill!

Also, love how it has pivoted from "everyone - Republicans included - must first release all their speech transcripts" (not sure which other remaining presidential candidate gave 3 speeches to Goldman Sachs for $250,000+ a pop, but whatevs) to "tax returns are the standard!" Sorry, but there is no "standard" of someone - shortly before running for president - receiving close to $1,000,000 for less than 3 hours work from a company (and industry) that nearly tanked a country, WHICH MAKES THIS A WHOLLY UNIQUE SITUATION! And, even if that wasn't the case, and every other politician had give quarter-of-a-million dollar speeches to fat cats in the financial industry, SHE SHOULD STILL RELEASE HER TRANSCRIPTS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO BE PROMPTED ONCE (much less A THOUSAND TIMES)! Why? Because that's what a decent, honest, trustworthy, virtuous, self-less would-be leader should and would do (and set an example of doing). And speaking of failing to initially fully report tax information...

Presidential!
