Steve Schmidt: Wall Street Speeches Will Be a ‘Big Issue Now’ for Clinton

SCARBOROUGH: “And, boy, the road just got a lot longer. Gene Robinson, great to have you here. Steve Schmidt as well. Thank you for being with us.”
BRZEZINSKI: “So let’s look at actually what inside the numbers of the results, Hillary Clinton’s loss showed what about, what the voters were thinking as they went to the polls last night?
SCHMIDT: “So as you look at this race going forward, those numbers show two things now. Hillary Clinton is in an ideological race. She’s a challenger from her left championing what I would call Elizabeth Warrenism against Clintonism for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. She’s also now facing a character test. And you look inside these numbers at honest and trustworthy where she was decimated, and I think Republicans when we think honest and trustworthy we default right away to thinking about the e-mail server, the obfuscations there, some of the the scandals from the 1990s, but Democrats when they think of honest and trustworthy with regard to Hillary Clinton, they’re thinking about the Wall Street speeches. They’re thinking about the hundreds of thousands of dollars taken in from Goldman Sachs and I think now you think about this race this week, you’re going to see increasing demands for disclosure of the transcripts of those speeches. What did she say to Goldman Sachs? There was a Goldman Sachs trader at one of the meetings, quoted in the media yesterday saying, she sounded like the managing director of the firm when she spoke there. So this will be a big issue and we know on disclosure issues that Hillary Clinton has been infallible with regard to her mishandling of them going back to Travelgate into Whitewater in the 1990s. And this will be a big issue now.”
