"According to her standard speaking contract, Clinton will remain at the event no longer than 90 minutes; will pose for no more than 50 photos with no more than 100 people; and won’t allow any press coverage or video- or audio-taping of her speech.

The only record allowed will be made by a stenographer whose transcription will be given only to Clinton. The stenographer’s $1,250 bill, however, will go to the UNLV Foundation."

1. 'control the message... control the message'

she's losing control as we speak

[FlatBaroque]

4. It is quite wonderful to watch this corrupt politician unravel before our eyes.

Hopefully she will have the sense to drop out early and allow Bernie to focus on the other set of villains.

[frylock]

30. That will never happen. She's prepared to go down with the ship.

[Cassiopeia]

42. She'll fire the torpedos if she can't win.

This will end and Clinton is likely to make it ugly.

[kristopher]

49. Not at all. If she has the only copy, then she can make them say anything she wants.

If you were her would you allow damaging remarks to remain in the files you turn over? It's an opportunity to write her own version of history.

[virtualobserver]

2. why so secret, Hillary? At least she knows who to "look into it" with....

unless she forgets which drawer she keeps the transcripts in.

[artislife]

20. We have seen this time and time again.

It is one of things that chips away at people's trust in her.

I can hear the howls of protest of her supporters to the fact that she is the most maligned candidate in all of history and has been attacked for the last three decades...


Well, it is because she isn't transparent. She follows Bill in the arguing of what the meaning of "is" is.

When I am introduced to a person at a network event and they are vague at what they do and want me to join them for an evening event, I am pretty sure they not only want me to buy some product but they may want me to sell it, too. But with the same tactics.

Tell me what you are selling and for how much. Do you want me to convince others or entrap them?

Clarity.
Transparency

[840high]

41. She wiped them with a cloth.

[morningfog]

3. Fantastic. Good next step. Confirmation of transcripts.

[6chars]

5. They will be part of her presidential library

After 25 years they will be unsealed.

[RiverLover]

6. Disturbingly secretive

It creeps me out.

How exactly did she get so powerful? Her supporters don't care she's always hiding things. I don't get it.

[tomm2thumbs]

7. Control freaks make bad Presidents

or does that go without saying?

[JudyM]

8. No taping allowed. Sure, she didn't have any intention to run for president.

[UglyGreed]

9. One thing after another

it just does not stop and I find it very offensive.

[pangaia]

10. I watched her screaming and flailing and lying last night for about 30 minutes,

then just had to turn it off.

[UglyGreed]

15. I don't mind the screaming

but I do mind what they are saying while doing so like accusing someone of "smearing her reputation" when they are just quoting what you have said in the past is just an act.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. The Fixx 'One thing leads to another''

The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross
Leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet

Why don't they

Do what they say
Say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see
Comes from living close to your fears
If this is up, then I'm up
But you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump
Leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat
Why don't they

Do what they say
Say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word
Goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder, he falls
But when the wrong antidote
Is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat
Why don't they

Do what they say
Say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another

[UglyGreed]

12. Spot on

[artislife]

21. Got me dancing this morning!

[Ichingcarpenter]

48. Would I lie to you Honey?

that should get the bones moving.

[nyabingi]

38. Great song and a great fit for the subject! (nt)

[dorkzilla]

43. Actually one of the best concerts I saw during the 80’s

These guys were good.

[treestar]

58. Should the Fixx allow taping of their concerts?

If they don't, what are they trying to hide? If they have a concert not taped, then no one will ever really have proof of what went on there.

Letting HDS blind yourselves here.

[ViseGrip]

62. Exactly!

[dreamnightwind]

13. Wow, "won’t allow any press coverage or video- or audio-taping of her speech"

Great find! Release the transcripts! The POTUS makes $400,000 a year, Goldman and others are giving Hillary half that for each speech!

I'm not entirely sure there will be much incriminating in those speeches, I think the speeches are mostly a cover for a money transfer to someone they want favors from. Hillary is smart and probably said come embarrassing things but probably was careful to not say too much that could damage her if it ever got out.

Still, the transcripts would be a step in the right direction. The voting public deserves to know what she is saying to these institutions. The real dirt would be in smaller private discussions, not in these speeches, but we'll never be privy to the smaller discussions (unless of course we get to read them in her email).

The fact that she specified in her contract that there not be any video or audio taping, and that the written transcript be given only to her, tells me she didn't want any scrutiny of these speeches. Let's see what she said, it's only fair.

[Fuddnik]

26. She'll release those transcripts about 3 days after Hell freezes over.

Or the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl.

Which ever comes first.

[Fumesucker]

14. Another example of a stunning lack of foresight for a trained lawyer and career politician

[Cassiopeia]

45. Actually I think it shows incredible foresight.

She was doing the speeches, the money was irresistible. However, she wanted to make sure what she said couldn't get out unless she let it out. It was a way to avoid a Romney 47% moment.

That was a brilliant move. It may still backfire on her, but only if we keep the pressure on to force her to release the transcripts.

[Autumn Colors]

16. On a totally different note ... I'd like *that* job

As a medical transcriptionist who's quickly being made obsolete by electronic medical record systems (one of the unfortunate aspects of ACA requirements for me personally -- although I now qualify for Medicaid), I'd like to have a job like this.

The stenographer’s $1,250 bill, however, will go to the UNLV Foundation.

Clinton's stay was no longer than 90 minutes. Even if the stenographer had to transcribe the full 90 minutes, $1,250 is a hell of a lot of money. (Although having to sit in on events for Wall St. bankers would suck ... I know, I used to work as a graveyard shift word processor at a Wall St. investment banking firm ... before the end of Glass-Steagall.)

In any case ... sign me up!

[mhatrw]

55. But then you'd have good reason to vote for Clinton.

So it is sort of a Catch-22.

[Autumn Colors]

60. Nah

I'd still vote for Bernie ... voting is private, so no one would know.

[global1]

17. So Far We've Established That Hillary Gives Speeches To The Wall Street Bunch....

And she gets paid not "that's what they offered" but she has a contract and set charges for her speeches - at a rate for colleges and universities which is too expensive -even at the discount - that they have to hire Chelsea instead. In the contract she has clauses for the length of time for the speech, how many pics she'll take, the amount of people she'll take them with, no press coverage, no video or audio taping of the event and that she has these speeches recorded by a stenographer and has transcriptions of these speeches. Those employing her for the speech - pay the steno's bill.

Interesting - drip by drip - the details come out. It's no wonder that as she responded to Anderson Coopers question the other night about these speeches - she backed up as she answered. Interesting body language going on there. If she would have taken any longer to answer that question - she would have backed off the stage.

Chuckie Toad asked if she would release those transcripts. She gave a weasely answer.

I'm of the opinion that if she is asking for my vote - I want to know if she is not telling me one thing and telling the Wall Street bunch something else. She needs to release those transcripts. But I'm wondering just like Bernie Madoff's people rushed to shred his documents when the FBI appeared on the scene - that there is a task going on to sanitize her transcripts before release and she is just buying time for that to happen.

Who do you trust these days?

[Autumn Colors]

18. Maybe the transcriptionist kept an original for her/himself?

Then, if HRC releases transcripts, there would be something to compare them to for authenticity.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. She trusted Bush and Cheney and in fact

repeated what they said

24. +1000

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. Posted it now in Video & Multimedia (Forum) » Laughing '' That's why I ...

See it here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017327037

[artislife]

29. She laughs at the most inhumane things sometimes

and laughs at inappropriate things, too.

She is really strange on that issue.

We came, we saw, he died



It is like she is pleased with herself at how clever she is to take Veni, vidi, vinci to a different level. But the real question is will she fiddle as everything burns up around her.

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. Any questions on Hillary love for Kissinger?

After that video?

[artislife]

33. Not one! nt

[roguevalley]

32. prison is too good for all of them including her

[PonyUp]

22. "The only record allowed will be made by a stenographer whose transcription will be given...

...only to Clinton."

To be wiped clean later with a cloth or something.

[Vinca]

23. And we will never, ever see it.

She must have really sucked up to Wall Street.

[99th_Monkey]

25. AWESOME post. Thanks to you.

Great detective work my friend.

[tomm2thumbs]

63. bowing in your general direction

hap tip your way!

[HooptieWagon]

28. If she's as progressive as she claims...

...then she shouldn't have a problem providing the transcripts of those progressive-themed speeches she gave to Goldman-Sachs.

[Cheese Sandwich]

34. She's getting the fireplace going as we speak

[dorkzilla]

35. Oooooh that’s gonna leave a mark

“I will look into...quickly getting my assistant to start shredding them right away"

[Indepatriot]

36. Great, this will make "looking into it" so much easier!!!!

I'm sure those transcripts will be released any day now....

[NorthCarolina]

37. Pretty strict secrecy requirements for only speaking about her "world views".

eom

[kracer20]

39. Best thing from Iowa

Was seeing Bernie in what appeared to be your everyday Holiday Inn room.

[deutsey]

40. Sigh

[thereismore]

44. I am just so thankful to that idiot Todd for actually asking about it. She evaded, that much was

clear. I heard "Let me see if there is something really damaging in them..."

[retrowire]

46. Ha! oh that's rich! nt

[silvershadow]

47. Wow. Good find. I guess she has to check with herself about releasing them. nt

[Fairgo]

50. Powerful

When you connect the dots backwards, it reveals the constancy of greed and disdain of human suffering. They saw Iraq as a business opportunity before shock and awe. Just another hostile take-over from the "mergers and acquisitions" branch of corporate government.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

51. No human being over the past 30 years has been more stalked and monitored

than Hillary Clinton, by a massive rightwing group with the agenda of destroying her.

Any speech she makes would be recorded by someone trying to destroy her, and if there was something so terrible in one of these speeches, we would all know about it by now.

[leftofcool]

52. No doubt.

[mhatrw]

56. except giving the whole store away to the top 1% is admirable behavior to wingnuts

[treestar]

59. Yes. It would be reported at the very least.

And if she did publish it all, it could blow up in their faces. This whole issue is to insinuate something terrible was said - if there's nothing, that turns out a fail.

[EdwardBernays]

53. wow! You should include this in the OP

Hillary Rodham Clinton likes to travel in style.

She insists on staying in the “presidential suite” of luxury hotels that she chooses anywhere in the world, including Las Vegas.

She usually requires those who pay her six-figure fees for speeches to also provide a private jet for transportation — only a $39 million, 16-passenger Gulfstream G450 or larger will do.

...

she insists on controlling every detail of the private event, large and small, to ensure that she will be the center of attention.

“It is agreed that Speaker will be the only person on the stage during her remarks,” according to the May 13 contract the Harry Walker Agency signed for Clinton’s keynote address at the Bellagio.

...

The annual dinner, one of Las Vegas’ biggest fundraising events, attracts powerful donors. The top givers this year, who purchased the most expensive $20,000 tables, are a who’s who of Nevada business and politics. They include:

Bank of America; Barnes & Noble College; Barrick Gold; the Bennett Family Foundation; Cashman Equipment Co.; the Engelstad Family; Kell and Nancy Houssels; Konami Gaming Inc.; Dana and Gregory Lee; Mr. and Mrs. Hae Un Lee of Lee’s Discount Liquor; Joyce Mack; The Mendenhall Family; MGM Resorts International; NV Energy; PR Partners; the Wells Fargo Foundation; and Michael and Renee Yackira.

Clinton’s contract allows her to invite up to 20 guests, including her staff, and have them sit together to be able to join the photo line.

None of the photos can be made public.

...

UNLV student leaders have sent a letter to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, which collects the $225,000 fee, asking that Hillary Clinton donate all or part of the money back to the university. They’ve received no reply.

[Live and Learn]

54. She'll look in to it? What rubbish. K&R. nt

[treestar]

57. There has to be a limit on it at some point

Obviously people try to get you to stay longer and longer - pose with more people - it can't go on past a reasonable amount of time. The bill paying it part of the deal, if they don't want to pay it, they can negotiate some other part of it. Why should it be taped - if her time is worth money, why does she have to allow tapes of it to be out there and being used? You wouldn't say that of a band that taped a concert performance. It's pretty much equivalent to that.

[ViseGrip]

61. Are we watching her unravel or just sprint to the guillotine?

She said 'whatever' to an audit of have the vote. The standard line for ANY campaign is, "EVERY VOTE SHOULD BE COUNTED" .

[BainsBane]

64. Well, there is a video of a Goldman Sachs speech
