re: #280 The Vicious Babushka

The Goldman-Sachs transcripts are a red herring nothingburger. I think about a year or so ago I read an article (at HuffPost? Can’t remember) in which they tried to track down people who attended the event where she spoke. Most of them said “It was a lunch! We were eating and chit chatting with others at our table, didn’t pay attention to the speaker” and finally someone said “I think she talked about more opportunities for women and minorities in the financial industry, and making loans easier.”

As to why she wouldn’t release the transcripts? My guess is maybe she wanted to use verbiage from those talks in a book and was guarding her intellectual property.

Did you ever see the movie The Contender with Joan Allen? Maybe Clinton didn’t want to release the transcripts because no man has been required to.
