That's what you call a whoopin' :0)
I actually feel a little guilty for not being able to feel sorry for Hillary. That's probably some latent residue of my old Southern upbringing (not being unkind to a lady and so forth). But I swear, she (and increasingly her husband) make almost impossible for me to have any sympathy for them. I mean, the absolute pass she gets from the media is reminiscent of Reagan's Reign of Error that, too, went unchecked by major media. Here's a classic example:

I heard Bernstein saying that she had to release the transcripts of those speeches and do it quickly because if she stonewalled, whether or not there's anything incriminating in them, people will begin to view those speeches as analogous to Nixon's tapes. She and her husband have always been Wall Street Shills (how many Progressives can you name who sat on the board of directors at Walmart?) but sheesh, man, she is really coming off as dishonest. As big a Bernie supporter as I am, I'm not certain how much he won NH and how many voted for him as a no-confidence vote for Hillary.
Hillary is veering from the truth when she suggests her $225,000 per speech fee, paid three times by Goldman Sachs, was "what they offered."
It was not what they offered -- it was what Team Hillary demanded.
A review of her 2014 tax return posted on her website shows that $225,000 was her minimum fee.
She received $225,000 for 34 of the 41 speeches listed on her tax return. Of the remaining 7 speeches, two were for 250,000 and the others for $265,000, $275,000, $285,000, $305,000 and $400,000. In total she received $9,680,000 for these speaking engagements in 2013.
Wall Street firms funded 14 of her 41 talks. In addition to Goldman Sachs, the list includes Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity Investments UBS and Bank of America. Her benefactors also include hedge funds and private equity firms like Apollo Management and Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts.
