Related: About this forumHillary's speeches to Goldman Sachs give them a nice bit of leverage on her.
She doesn't want those speeches released. The natural assumption is that she said things to Goldman Sachs that they liked hearing, but most voters would not.
So what happens when HRC has to make any sort of call that effects the big banks? She's basically handed them their own pre-packaged scandal to deploy whenever they feel the need. Kind of hard to oppose something like, say, bailing out the big banks (yet again) when they can release your fawning praise of said banks, and who knows what sort of promises, whenever you step out of line.

(5,764 posts)...if it came out she said some *really* unappetizing things that completely contradict her public rhetoric when she was behind closed doors taking their money?
Yeah. Leverage. And that doesn't just apply to election season, it applies to after.
