The speech transcripts, a major subject of contention during the Democratic primary, include quotes from Clinton about her distance from middle-class life (Im kind of far removed); her vision of strategic governing (you need both a public and a private position); and her views on Wall Street, health care, and trade (my dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders).
John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman, was the latest victim in a wave of hacks on key figures in Democratic politics and the political establishment in what administration officials say is an effort by Russia to undermine the election.
The excerpts came in an email to Podesta and other senior officials from research director Tony Carrk, sourcing the flags to the Harry Walker Agency, which represented Clintons paid speech deals after she left the State Department in 2013.
During the Democratic primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders repeatedly pressed Clinton to release the transcripts of the speeches, which were delivered to a variety of groups including investment banks like Goldman Sachs.
