Hillary Clinton secretly filmed at a Goldman Sachs event, speaking to Goldman Sachs executives. Okay, not secretly filmed. But you didn’t see this on the news, did you.
You want a transcript?
We can do better than that: How about a secret video of Hillary Clinton talking to the executives at Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading investment firms?
After all the hoo-haw, you’ll be shocked at the content.
Here’s how Goldman Sachs described it:

On September 23, 2014, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women hosted its annual dinner at the Clinton Global Initiative.
The event featured a keynote address from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the business case for empowering women to ensure future economic growth.
Here’s the video:
True to Clinton’s history, she tells people with power and money they have to do a much better job of empowering and hiring from groups known to lack power and money, for the sake of capitalism, for the sake of our nation, for the sake of the world.
Okay, so it’s not secret. People who complain about these speeches pretend she said something different, and they certainly don’t want you to know what Clinton actually said. Clinton’s opponents hope this video remains close to secret.
Shocking that these speeches continue as an issue. Maybe they should be campaign ads, for Clinton.

Tip of the old scrub brush to Leslie Salzillo and DailyKos.
Just consider that (then) Candidate Barack Obama accepted money from the Banking Industry in 2008, as did Senator John McCain, and then he passed Dodd-Frank during his first term. And then, he did the same thing in 2012.
Why should it be any different, this time, just because it is Hillary Clinton. It’s all part of the GOP Snow Job, with Senator Bernie Sanders also getting into the act.

I agree. Perhaps they should be used for campaign ads. But perhaps she would be accused of playing the woman card. Perhaps she was not sure she was going to run when she accepted the fees which are rather obscene.

I doubt anyone has a transcript. I doubt she kept any notes she used to talk from.

I wonder why she did not release transcripts? I do find it obscene that she received so much money to deliver the speeches (full disclosure–I support Sanders). I think that there is a conflict of interests for a former senator and prospective presidential candidate to accept such large sums of money from any industry (especially one whose business model and profits are so directly tied to federal regulations) but I have never believed she said anything really damning in the speeches. Maybe she signed an agreement that she would not disclose the speeches or something. But even if that is the case, I think she should have said as much.
