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.

    She promised them she'd leave the door to the treasury building unlocked and they could just take whatever they wanted.

    My take on this is that if you think Trump is some kind of peacenik then you are personally the argument for the electoral college, because that is dumber than dogshit.

    Only one candidate has started a war. Only one candidate has fanned the flames of war in the Middle East. Only one candidate has a spouse that started several "military actions". Only one candidate is trying to start a war with Russia. Only one candidate has never met a military action they didn't love. Only one candidate loves to talk about private and public positions. Denial is a great thing for you, isn't it drinkypoo?
