Today at 2 p.m., Bernie Sanders gave a speech on Wall Street reform.
Yesterday, Hillary Clinton's campaign preemptively attacked.
Her chief financial officer said of the then-undelivered speech that "Senator Sanders should go beyond his existing plans for reforming Wall Street and endorse Hillary Clinton's tough, comprehensive proposals to rein in risky behavior within the shadow banking sector."
This is bold, brash and wholly false.

Hillary lying again. I'm shocked to hear this.
Keep it up Hillary. Maybe you can get Bernie to run 3rd party.
Does Hillary ever tell the truth? Who are these people who are dumb enough to believe a serial liar?
The distinction between Sanders’ plan to break up the banks, and reining in shadow banking, is nonsensical, as “many so-called banks are in fact deeply involved in shadow banking activities.”
Clinton is the one “peddling soft reforms for shadow banks,” and refusing to break up the behemoth financial institutions.
Casting Sanders’ proposals as insufficient is “cheap” and “technically false,” as “no one seriously believes that [Sanders’] call to break up ‘banks’ would exclude massive insurance or investment houses.” That includes AIG and Lehman Brothers, two insurance/investment institutions Clinton often cites as cases where break-the-banks-up reform won’t work, when, in fact, “both AIG and Lehman also operated traditional banking units” and “Sanders’ plan would have forced the companies to split up their activities.”
Neither campaign has addressed the issue of auditing the Clinton Global Crime Initiative ... a classic textbook case of elite money laundering, bribery, pay to play, etc.
