  4. Is very obvious Bernie Sanders is not agreement with Hillary Clinton associations. So Bernie Sanders concede he lose to be ever be elected in the system of the country he live in. But he still live and love his country. The choice is only 2 people now, so he direct his supporters to vote for please the one of two who is closely more to his vision. He understand the system that is his country. Love Bernie Sanders!!!

  5. Bernie Sanders have respect and grateful for the system of justice he live in to the USA. To for the some people to say he is "communist" is so stupid. Did Bernie Sanders try to organize rebels to take over the USA system? No. Is he try to be dictator and control people? No. But stupid people can not see Bernie Sanders love his beautiful country, but he want to bring his country more health care and education. In this world the educated and healthy will be have advantage. Always.

    Finally.

    Of course the Bern knew what was in these wall street speeches. But he doesn't have people leaking them to the Washington Post and the New York Times the way things about Trump get leaked to the WP and the NYT.

    She doesn't give two shits about reigning in the crooks on Wall Street. To her, it is just playing politics, not principles and fighting for the people that ultimately have to bail these assholes out.

    Wikileaks 2,000+ Emails From Clinton Chairman


    Potentially problematic excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s paid Wall Street speeches were flagged for her campaign in an email that was sent to chairman John Podesta and other senior staff this past January.


    The email was released Friday by Wikileaks, part of a batch of what it says were 2,060 emails hacked from an account belonging to Podesta. The Clinton campaign has not confirmed the authenticity of the emails.

    “Team, attached are the flags from HRC’s paid speeches we have from HWA. I put some highlights below. There is a lot of policy positions that we should give an extra scrub with policy,” a staffer wrote on January 25, 2016.

    Harry Walker Agency is the speaker’s bureau that arranged Clinton’s lucrative speech circuit after she left the State Department, which included $3 million dollars from speeches to banks and financial firms -- $675,000 came from three speeches from Goldman Sachs. The 25 flagged excerpts likely point to why Clinton and her campaign have refused to release the transcripts, despite coming under fire from Senator Bernie Sanders during the primary.

    Less than two weeks after the email was sent, on February 4, Clinton was asked during a debate whether she’d release the transcripts of all her paid speeches and she said, “I will look into it. I don’t know the status, but I will certainly look into it.”

    When asked again during an April 4 debate, Clinton said she would release them if Sanders and Donald Trump released their tax returns. “You know, let’s set the same standard for everybody,” Clinton said. “When everybody does it, OK, I will do it, but let’s set and expect the same standard on tax returns.”

    The first flagged email is headed “Clinton Admits She Is Out of Touch.” In a February 4, 2014 speech to what was referred to as “Goldman-Black Rock”, Clinton said “And I am not taking a position on any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of anxiety and even anger in the country over the feeling that the game is rigged…We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn’t believe in mortgages. So I lived that. And now, obviously, I’m kind of far removed because the life I’ve lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven’t forgotten it.”

    Another flag came from a speech to the National Multi-Housing Council on April 24, 2013: “Clinton Says You Need to Have a Private and Public Position on Policy.”

    “I mean, politics is like sausage being made,” she said in the speech according to the excerpt. “It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.”

    In an October 23, 2013 speech to the Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, “Clinton Talks About Holding Wall Street Accountable Only for Political Reasons.” ...

    Sanders absolves Clinton on hacked emails, but other voices on the left are angry

    © AP Photo/Matt Rourke Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton listens as Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during a campaign stop at the University Of New Hampshire in Durham, N.H., on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016.

    For the second time in less than a week, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has reacted to WikiLeaks tranches of hacked Clinton campaign emails with a strategic shrug.

    "The job of the progressive movement now is to look forward, not backward," Sanders told NBC News in a statement Wednesday. "No matter what Secretary Clinton may have said years ago behind closed doors, what's important today is that millions of people stand up and demand that the Democratic Party implement the most progressive platform in the history of our country."

    It was similar to Sanders's reaction to the first WikiLeaks dump, on Friday, which included excerpts of off-the-record speeches Clinton had given to banks and business groups. The excerpts, compiled by Clinton's campaign in an ironic attempt at scandal prevention, revealed what Sanders had spent many futile months of the Democratic primary demanding. The senator spent months telling audiences that they needed to see what Clinton told Wall Street, a charge that helped him build an advantage over Clinton on the question of trust. But it was a poor substitute for what Clinton said, from praise of Lloyd Blankfein to sympathy for how banks got "100 percent of the blame" for the 2008 crisis to an acknowledgment that Dodd-Frank was flawed.

    "I'd have rather had the speeches," former Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said this week, in a conversation after the second presidential debate.

    But Sanders, who is continuing to stump for Clinton and Democratic candidates, has not convinced all of his supporters to move on. In many progressive media outlets, the WikiLeaks emails are fodder for ongoing and outrageous stories. The Young Turks, a Los Angeles-based progressive video news network, has hammered the WikiLeaks story, with its reporter Jordan Chariton scooping that now-Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile may have provided Clinton with a question ahead of a CNN town hall. (Brazile was a contributor to CNN at the time, a role she left after she took the reins of the DNC from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.)

    Chariton also confronted John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman whose email account was hacked, in the spin room after the second presidential debate. He kept film rolling as Podesta blew him off. "I'll go get the transcript," said Chariton. "I'll send it to him. Wait -- he has it in his email!"...

    Email: Clinton campaign tried to move back Illinois primary

    WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton's campaign tried to move the Illinois presidential primary to a later date, saying a contest held after the Super Tuesday primaries might stop momentum for a moderate Republican candidate and emphasizing that Clinton and her husband "won't forget" a political favor, emails made public on Thursday show.

    A November 2014 email hacked from the accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta was among nearly 2,000 new emails published by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks. The email, from Clinton's future campaign manager Robby Mook to Podesta, said Obama administration officials should use their connections in the president's home state to try to push back the March 15 Illinois primary by at least a month.

    "The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid-March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday," Mook wrote. "IL was a key early win for (GOP presidential candidate Mitt) Romney" in 2012.

    While the request would come from Obama, the president and former Illinois senator, "the key point is that this is not an Obama ask, but a Hillary ask," Mook said.

    "The Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them," he added. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, famously gave special attention to allies considered "friends of Bill."

    Clinton's campaign said the FBI was investigating who hacked Podesta's email. Vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine told ABC's "The View" Thursday that the FBI and director of national intelligence have said "the Russian government is behind" the hack, adding that "anybody that would hack to try to destabilize an election, you can't automatically assume that everything in all of these documents are even real."

    Questions were raised on social media about the speed with which Russia Today, a news site funded by the Russian government, tweeted about Podesta's e-mails, the latest in a series of hacked emails published by WikiLeaks. The group said the e-mails were visible on its website "well before" it started tweeting them.

    RT dismissed the questions as conspiracy theories. "We were fastest on #Podestaemails6, faster than @wikileaks, and the US conspiracy machine can't handle it," the network said in a tweet...

    Hacked emails raise possibility of Clinton Foundation ethics breach

    Hacked emails published by Wikileaks this week appear to show Qatar pledging to donate $1 million to Hillary Clinton's family's charitable foundation, despite her promise to curb new donations by foreign governments while U.S. secretary of state.

    In an email from 2012, a senior official from the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation informs colleagues that a planned donation by Qatar's government to mark Bill Clinton's birthday came up in a meeting he had with the Gulf state's ambassador in Washington.

    The ambassador said that he asked "to see WJC 'for five minutes' in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011," Amitabh Desai, the foundation official, writes in his email, using the former U.S. president's initials.

    Hillary Clinton, who is the Democratic nominee for the Nov. 8 presidential election, served as secretary of state from 2009 until 2013.

    The hacked email is among thousands published over the last week by the pro-transparency group Wikileaks from the account of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

    Clinton's campaign has been embarrassed by this and similar recent hacking attacks on other Democratic Party officials, some of which appear to show Clinton and her aides saying things in private that contradict their public positions. Her spokesmen have not disputed the authenticity of the hacked emails.

    The emails released by Wikileaks do not appear to confirm whether Qatar gave the promised $1 million, although the foundation's website lists the State of Qatar as having given at least that amount. There is no date listed for the donation. A spokesman for the foundation declined to confirm the donation.

    Reuters could not rule out the possibility the $1 million was intended as a birthday present for Clinton personally, not for the foundation. His spokesman did not respond to questions...
