\"Hillary
Source: Vets for Bernie<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Young Turks report on Hillary’s comeback to the New Hampshire debate question: will she share the transcripts of all of her speeches, even the ones she made to Goldman-Sachs? In a nutshell, Hillary’s answer was no, not really<\/a>. We’ve learned that Hillary’s speaking contract stipulates that they be recorded both digitally and by a hired stenographer; and that she retains full copyright protection for all of her words. <\/p>\n

A CNN analysis found that, since 2001, Hillary and Bill Clinton have received $153 million in speaking fees, with at least eight speeches given by Ms. Clinton to big banks for $1.8 million. The media has repeatedly asked Ms. Clinton to release the transcripts, to which she sarcastically responded on ABC\u2019s This Week, \u201cYeah, you know, here\u2019s another thing I want to say. Let everybody who has ever given a speech to any private group under any circumstances release them all\u2014we\u2019ll all release them at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Clinton\u2019s only opponent in the Democratic Presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders, earned a total of $1,867.42 in speaking fees in 2014, which he donated entirely to charity. In the same year, Ms. Clinton netted millions…<\/p>\n

The enormous speaking fees and donations racked up by the Clintons from the financial services industry represent much more than the \u201cartful smear\u201d Ms. Clinton attempted to dismiss during the 5th Democratic Debate. Ms. Clinton\u2019s record of getting paid substantially by large financial firms suggests her allegiance is aligned with their interests, rather than the American public. Nothing in her record or rebuttals suggests otherwise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
