What Clinton said in her paid speeches

When Hillary Clinton spoke to Goldman Sachs executives and technology titans at a summit in Arizona in October of 2013, she spoke glowingly of the work the bank was doing raising capital and helping create jobs, according to people who saw her remarks.

Clinton, who received $225,000 for her appearance, praised the diversity of Goldman’s workforce and the prominent roles played by women at the blue-chip investment bank and the tech firms present at the event. She spent no time criticizing Goldman or Wall Street more broadly for its role in the 2008 financial crisis.

“It was pretty glowing about us,” one person who watched the event said. “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.”

At another speech to Goldman and its big asset management clients in New York in 2013, Clinton spoke about how it wasn’t just the banks that caused the financial crisis and that it was worth looking at the landmark 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law to see what was working and what wasn’t.

“It was mostly basic stuff, small talk, chit-chat,” one person who attended that speech said. “But in this environment, it could be made to look really bad.”

Sounds like I gave you 225,000 and when I need something from you I expect action

[Signalman]

This is why Clinton doesn’t want these speech transcripts released. It will really piss off the progressives and drive them over to Bernie even more than they already have.

She was paid for standing there.

Not for what she said.

More accurately. She was paid. For what she was supposed to DO later.

[Talisker]

Was there really any doubt?

[Titus-Maximus]

And that is why she is a complete, money grubbing fraud.

What hypocrisy!

[nascarnation]

Were they allowed to stoop and kiss her ring afterwards?

NO Company is going to pay that kind of money to her how bad they are!! We ALL knew she gave them RAVE REVIEWS because they gave her that kind of money.

Bernie could bury her if her words get out. One attendee describes her G/S speech thusly: she sounded like she was one of us.

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein worships Hillary at a Clinton Foundation event.

============================================

Hillary and Goldman Sachs have been BFF.

Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine on the Capitol steps.

EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.

EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.

Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Wall Street Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton." The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.

===========================================

EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank.

LAUGH BREAK Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him.

================================================

There's a saying in Congress---"One hand washes the other. You vote for my bill; I vote for your bill." Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank Corzine's "blind trust" owned? And what other Wall Street deals did Corzine make w/ Hillary to enrich himself...and her?

"Bernie, I insist you go first."

ROTFLMAO.

What does an investment firm call a $225,000 speaking fee to a presidential candidate?

Another investment.

Good post!   Glad to see this stuff coming out.

Sounds like a pep rally for Goldman Sachs!

I can imagine all those Wall Street types sitting there in the audience with grins on their faces.

On the outside it's all smiles, cheers, and applause. Inside, these Goldman Sachs people are laughing at how much of a puppet Hillary and our federal government is!

"Ha ha.  This is great.  For only a couple hundred grand, the highest politicians in the land will do Goldman Sachs' bidding."

This article that needs to see widespread reading.   It can help both Bernie and Trump for sure.

When Hillary Clinton spoke to Goldman Sachs...

Actually, I happen to know this.

Hillary's speech was unusually brief.

In fact, it was only two words!

Yup, two words...

Show her the Big Bucks and Hillary becomes the obedient STEPFORD CANDIDATE (ala the Stepford movie wives).

Hillary will gladly get on her knees and suck-up, if the price is right.

She will conform blindly, assume a subservient role...not like the independent women she/d prefer voters to believe she is.

Money makes Hillary submit meekly to the banking crowd/s abuses. She will never utter a discouraging word.

She dare not bite the hand that feeds her.....no way will she offend her deep-pocketed handlers.

[InvisibleChurch]

I want to watch the Clintons after she loses and the people who paid all that money will want their money back. It’ll be like the end of the movie Caddyshack.

WHAT WAS IN HER COLLEGE REPORT ON ALINSKY?

Same holds true for her husband-rapist.

They are SO bought...both of 'em.
