"Its been roughly three months since Hillary Clinton promised, during her Feb. 4 debate with Bernie Sanders on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, to look into releasing the transcripts of her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street investment houses.
If youre a stickler for details and would like to know precisely how long Clinton has delayed on fulfilling her pledge or exactly how much cash she has raked in for her speaking gigs and from whom, you dont have to spend hours scouring the Internet. You can simply log onto two sites created by a 40-year-old Sanders supporter and web developer named Jed McChesney of Olathe, Kan.
The first site iwilllookintoit.comis a computerized digital clock that ticks off the elapsed time in bold red print, listing the number of days, hours and seconds. The other offers a searchable chart, published at citizenuprising.com, of 91 paid, private talks given by the Democratic front-runner from April 2013 to March 2015.
All told, according to McChesneys meticulous research, Clinton pulled in a whopping $21.7 million in speaking fees for the two-year period. Of this amount, $3,260,000 came from 14 speeches delivered directly to financial-sector interests, including Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, and, above all, Goldman, which remitted a tidy $675,000 for no less than three chin-wags."

It sucks so far out and it is intriguing to watch but if you are smart you know that the next incoming wave is gonna wipe us all out! Unfortunately for us, there is nowhere to run!

Reminds me of the Cheney White House Energy Meetings...that they fought tooth and nail to keep secret...we never found out what was discussed.

However, there was also undoubtedly discussion about the Enron-led California Energy Crisis and Grey Davis's attempts to investigate the scam, as well as rich oil fields in Iraq.

I've wondered all along:
*How many Hillary supporters are aware of these numbers?
*How many make the connection between money donated and favors granted?
*How many care/don't care?
