A hacked email to campaign chairman John Podesta, made public Friday, appears to show excerpts Clinton’s research team flagged internally, including remarks she made about Wall Street and trade policy.
The speech transcripts, a major subject of contention during the Democratic primary, include quotes from Clinton about
her distance from middle-class life (“I’m kind of far removed”); her vision of strategic governing (“you need both a public and a private position”); and her views on trade, health care, and Wall Street (“
even if it may not be 100 percent true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged.”)
Clinton research director Tony Carrk sent the excerpts in an email to Podesta and other senior aides, sourcing the “the flags from HRC’s paid speeches” to the Harry Walker Agency, the firm that represented Clinton and arranged her dozens of public and private paid speech deals after she left the State Department in early 2013.
The email is dated Jan. 25, 2016, with the subject line, “HRC Paid Speeches.”
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and
open borders,” Clinton is quoted as telling a Brazilian bank in 2013. “We have to resist, protectionism, other kinds of barriers to market access and to trade.”
In one excerpt identified as part of a speech to the Xerox company in March 2014,
Clinton talked about the need for “two sensible, moderate, pragmatic parties.”
