Transcripts of Clinton's Wall Street Talks Released in New Wikileaks Dump (reuters.com)
Emily Stephenson and Luciana Lopez, reporting for Reuters: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's full remarks to several Wall Street audiences appeared to become public on Saturday when the controversial transparency group Wikileaks dumped its latest batch of hacked emails. The documents showed comments by Clinton during question-and-answer sessions with Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and Tim O'Neill, the bank's head of investment management, at three separate events in 2013 in Arizona, New York and South Carolina. Some excerpts of Clinton's speeches had already been released. For more than a week, Wikileaks has published in stages what it says are hacked emails from the account of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman. Clinton came under fire for months for not releasing full details of her paid speeches to big business audiences, as opponents accused her of a cozy relationship with bankers and other members of the U.S. financial system.
My wife doesn't really care about that. She thinks it is a bit patronising that she has to think historical sexual abuse allegations should outweigh corporatism, deceit and corruption. She says going forwards, any woman could just be careful around him and not hesitate to report any unwanted Trump attention, but that Hillary striking dodgy deals and war mongering etc will have potentially larger and more significant effects.
Above where I said "a bit" those aren't the words my wife uses. Incidentally Trump has offended her - with his comments along the lines of women should be paid the same as men, provided they do the same work. I thought equal pay for equal work was a feminist goal, so I really didn't see it as sexist. I think she said it is sexist beccause it implies women don't do the same work as men or something. Yeah I forgot.
Incidentally she doesn't want to post anything even moderately pro-Trump or pointing out media bias against him - I told her to stop being a pussy or Donald might grab her.
