Why Hillary Clinton's Wall Street Speeches Are So Troubling

In the fall of 2013, Hillary Clinton gave three speeches to executives of Goldman Sachs, and she has repeatedly refused requests to make the text of those speeches public. Clinton was paid a total of $675,000, and has argued that she won't release the text unless all the other presidential candidates of both parties release the transcripts of the paid speeches they had given.

According to sources present at the speech, there is good reason why she does not want them to be made public. “(The speech) was pretty glowing about (Goldman Sachs)," said one attendees of the speech to Politico. "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.”

Linking to a Wall Street Journal report, the article continues:

Said another attendee:

“Mrs. Clinton didn’t single out bankers or any other group for causing the 2008 financial crisis. Instead, she effectively said, ‘We’re all in this together, we’ve got to find our way out of it together.’”

Of course we don't know exactly what Hillary Clinton said given she won't release the transcripts, but the inference is pretty clear -- she gave pro Wall St speeches to a bunch of Wall St executives.

1. In that linked article I didn't see anything about giving financial guidance on tax avoidance.

Was it in there or was there another article?
Also, when are these transcript leaks coming?

3. Here is WSJ article

You need a paid subscription, but the inference there (and other references) are that these were about pro tips after her time as Sec. Of State and as one who was involved in penning the regulations.

There is also this which gets into some details from attendees: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-17/real-reason-hillary-clinton-refuses-release-her-wall-street-transcripts

2. A transcript "leak"?

Not even close. Someone alleging they heard something that may or may not have been said has nothing to do with transcripts.

4. Oh Nance, you choose to be so literal...

But only when it suits your argument.

I love you girl.

5. It has nothing to do with ...

... suiting an argument.

If someone produced passages from an actual transcript, that would be a "transcript leak".

It's a rather simple concept.

6. Hillary fans dont care -- being corrupt is what makes her appealing

We need money out of politics. When you begin to see a segment of "democrats" not minding legal bribes, but in fact, celebrating it you know the party has issues.

7. A leak will come, and then she'll be done.
