Hillary’s Warm Words For Goldman Sachs

Hillary Clinton frequently offered warm and at times sympathetic words for Wall Street during her paid speeches before some of the biggest financial powerhouses as the nation was still recovering from the 2008 crisis, according to excerpts flagged as problematic by her speaker’s bureau. …

Clinton Said That The Blame Placed On The United States Banking System For The Crisis “Could Have Been Avoided In Terms Of Both Misunderstanding And Really Politicizing What Happened.”

Clinton Said Dodd-Frank Was Something That Needed To Pass “For Political Reasons.”

Clinton Said Financial Reform “Really Has To Come From The Industry Itself.”

The Clinton campaign declined to comment about the authenticity of the document, with spokesman Glen Caplin saying, “By dribbling these out every day WikiLeaks is proving they are nothing but a propaganda arm of the Kremlin with a political agenda doing [Vladimir] Putin’s dirty work to help elect Donald Trump. The FBI is now investigating this crime, the unanswered questions are why Donald Trump strangely won’t condemn it and whether any of his associates are involved.”
