Hillary and Goldman Sachs

. . . "She is so surrounded by sycophants and so contemptuous of those who criticize her that she is unaware of how damaging her secrecy will be."
Hillary’s no-win situation at Goldman Sachs worsening as content of her paid speeches leaking out  "Poor Hillary! It turns out that there is a price to being a lying hypocrite.  That’s just so unfair. After all, Bill got away with posing as a feminist champion while assaulting, groping, and exploiting women for decades.  But when Hillary tries to match Bernie Sanders on a comparable pose as anti-Wall Street, she gets herself in a no-win situation.

"Goldman Sachs people are leaking out what she said in her $675,000 worth of three paid speeches, and it is now clear that releasing the transcripts of her talks will expose her hypocrisy. But of course, refusing to release them raises all sorts of worse suspicions. Shades of Nixon’s missing 13 minutes of tape.

"Ben White of Politico reports on the leaks from Goldman:. . . "


Political Cartoons by Glenn McCoy

Madame Hillary's protection not so effective . .. . "But such miraculous windfalls for the Clintons have been pooh-poohed by the Democrat establishment and the media, who slobber like Pavlov's dogs when they hear "President Hillary."  Until now, that is.  The issue of Hillary's extortionist speaking fees is back in the news cycle, and this time it's not about the money...but, if you can believe it, the content of her speeches.  Hillary, who constantly bashes Wall Street as being the evil puppeteers who pull the economic strings of this nation to their constant advantage, apparently has been a bit duplicitous between her public denunciations and her more, shall we say,intimate dealings with Wall Street."

Hillary changed her tune during her concession speech Tuesday night, saying “no executive too powerful to jail.” 
. . . "And Clinton’s change in wording -- Lord, how those Clintons love to parse* words -- followed by less than 48 hours release of an FBI letter confirming that it is investigating Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
. . . "Clinton, no doubt, was reacting to widespread commentary that her earlier declaration could actually be applied to, well, you know, uh … her." . . . 

*Parse: . . .to analyze (something, as a speech or behavior) to discover its implications or uncover a deeper meaning:Political columnists were in their glory, parsing the president's speech on the economy in minute detail.
Hillary Clinton, blind to her own greed, makes another blunder
