Hillary Shill Lying or Misinfored? Hillary's "Released" Speech Is a Fake



From Daily Kos:

I have just been watching C-SPAN’s Washington Journal. On it they had Teri Morelli, former NH Speaker and a state campaign manager in 2008. She again repeated the claim that the video of Hillary’s speech to the Clinton Foundation showed one of her speeches to Goldman Sachs.

As has been extensively discussed on here, the claim is false. The confusion is caused by the extensive use of the Goldman Sachs logo in the background. This was there because GS sponsored the dinner at the end of the Clinton Foundation meeting.

The video has been widely disseminated but that was the first time I have seen the false claim about it had been made on TV by somebody chosen by the broadcaster to represent her side. If somebody speaking for Hillary’s New Hampshire campaign team is repeating this, it has to be asked whether Ms Morelli was misinformed about this or deliberately spreading a falsehood. It also has to be asked why the Clinton campaign has not corrected the claim. Did they make it in the first place in an attempt to divert from Hillary’s problems over her “Wall Street” speeches?

There have been at least three treads started here saying the same thing. Like wack a mole. It was so bad that when provided with the list of just her speeches clearly showing the three GS speeches, one poster said he could not see it. He also tried to say the money went to the foundation, another lie. He ran away when her own financial disclosure documents showed the paid speeches that went into HER bank account. Totally sickening.

The contempt by that team for the electorate is abundantly obvious and infuriating.

If her transcripts are as tame as this, what's the big deal in releasing them?

14. I would be happy if she does. And I don't care if she doesn't.

In the long run, it benefits her, because it gets her ideas out more. The more people her her speak, the better she does.
But she has a point when she says no one else has ever been asked to do it.

15. My point has nothing to do with who she is currently speaking to.

It's what she said to them when she was being paid large piles of cash. Rumor has it she said something about Wall Street not being to blame for the financial crisis. If she would release her transcripts, we could read the speeches and decide for ourselves.
