Does it really matter what she said in these speeches?
Not to me. The huge sums of money prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Clinton is selling access, tacitly agreeing to "go easy" on the big Wall Street investment banks provided they keep her foundation's coffers overflowing. What other possible explanation could there be?
Do as many Americans know about Hillary's sordid dealings with Wall Street as know about Trump's "alleged" sexual dalliances?
Of course not. It's not even close.
Do they know that Clinton was the driving force behind the intervention in Libya and Syria, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have died and seven million have been internally displaced? Do they know she was involved in the toppling of a democratically-elected government in Honduras or that a number of prominent neocons, who dragged the US into war in Iraq based on WMD lies, now support her?
Nope.
Do people know that Hillary had proof that ISIS -- America's arch enemy -- was being funded and supported by our allies, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and, yet, she never reported the news to the American people??
Here's a damning clip from one of the Podesta emails:
"We need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to Isis and other radical groups in the region."
Remember when George W. Bush said that "We will treat the terrorists and the people who support the terrorists the same"?
Hillary must not have gotten that memo or we would have bombed Riyadh by now.
Do people know that there has never been a war that Hillary didn't support, a job-killing "free trade" bill she didn't back, or a civil liberties-eviscerating piece of legislation (Clinton voted for the original USA PATRIOT Act in 2001, as well as the revised version in 2006.) she wasn't eager to sign?
Oh, but she does support "women's reproductive rights" which makes her a big champion of personal freedom among her narrow demographic of successful, educated, white women. Excuse me, for not doing handstands.
Here's another short clip from the WSWS:
"Hillary and Bill Clinton have accumulated a total of $153 million in speaking fees since Bill Clinton left the White House. Only the very naive could believe that these vast sums were paid for the speeches themselves. They were payment for services rendered to the American financial aristocracy over a protracted period." (In secret Goldman Sachs speeches, Clinton explains why the rich should rule, World socialist Web Site)
Get the picture? Hillary Clinton isn't a candidate, she's a franchise, a walking ATM machine. And her shady Foundation is nothing more than a vast recycling bin for illicit funds that pour into the political sausage-making machine in the form of contributions and magically transform themselves into special favors for the billionaire class.
