In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's GOLDMAN SACHS PROBLEM. [View all]think
(11,641 posts)34. Did she write the book for Goldman Sachs and get a huge advance to write it for them?
Does the company that financed the book deal have former employees in positions of high importance in the president's administration that exude a large amount of influence on public policies that directly benefit the former employer?
Has the company that financed the book been subject to a history of litigation for it's activities which have been investigated by the DOJ only to be let off with fines rather than criminal prosecution?
Comparing writing a book to taking money for speeches from a bank with a long history of using it's influence in the political realm to make enormous profits while avoiding criminal prosecution kind of misses the point doesn't it?
