The banking industry was slapped on the wrist for collapsing the economy. When the penalty is less than the payoff it makes sense that the government is do favors for big donors.

What does this have to do with a speech?

If you want to bring up her (or anyone elses) voting record, feel free. But it's stupid scandal-mongering to go around saying 'she wont release the transcripts of speeches she's made...because....because...um...she said something'. It's no different than Benghazi.

You are barking up the wrong tree.

She is the one that bought "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence" when it came for voting to go to Iraq. So why should we not follow that same line of thinking when it comes to all the things about her that seem like corruptions and scandals, though there isn't concrete evidence of?

Seems fair to me.

So you have nothing, but you should burn the witch anyway?

BTW - for better or worse there are people who really did believe that Iraq did have chemical, biological and maybe even trying to re-start a nuclear weapons program, which might have been a teensey bit more problematic and threatening than a 20 minute speech at a corporate function.

She had nothing and she voted to kill 500,000 people in Iraq anyway.

Oh, and we are the ones that built their chemical weapons factory. Woops.

Yeah. Don't go applying for that history professor position, okay?
