Hillary Clinton's paid closed-door speeches to Wall Street banks apparently included her dreams of “open trade and open borders” and a suggestion that bankers are best positioned to know how the industry should be regulated, according to hacked emails made public Friday by WikiLeaks.
The comments are drawn from an email describing speech transcripts that Clinton has refused to release despite months of intense criticism.
The email, apparently hacked from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, shows a staffer in the early stages of Clinton's primary campaign against Sen. Bernie Sanders this year flagging speech excerpts that could be politically problematic.
Sanders had questioned what Clinton had said to the financial institutions that paid her hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees between the end of her tenure as secretary of state and the start of her run for the White House.
The excerpts highlighted by the aide included comments on two front-burner election issues — Wall Street regulation and trade — on which Clinton has been on the defensive at times. Both Sanders and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have attacked Clinton for her past support of global free-trade deals, tapping into a growing sentiment among many voters that such agreements have hurt their communities.
Yep welcome to the world where you are replaced by cheap foreign workers, and banks regulate themselves just like Wells Fargo.
