Clinton: I Have Been ‘Transparent’ on Wall Street Speeches

‘The banks have to know we will follow through’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
BRZEZINSKI: " So let me then ask you. You express concern about being held to a different standard as it pertains to the Wall Street speeches and you said you would release the transcripts when the Republicans do. But isn’t it more important perhaps to be transparent to democratic voters about what you said to big banks behind closed doors?"
CLINTON: "Well, I think I have been transparent. I have a record. I’m not coming to this for the first time. People can go back, they can look at what I said and what I did when I was a senator. I’m the one who called out wall Street."
BRZEZINSKI: "So where did you say that? Where did you say that?"
CLINTON: "Back in December of 2007. I even ran an ad in the ‘08 campaign, it was in ‘07, warning about the mortgage crash and so I’m on record. I have gone after these guys, I have been pointing fingers at them, I’ve been introducing legislation. So people who want to know about my public record, it there’s to see. People who want to know what I will do as president, everybody says who’s looked at it I have the best plan to rein in wall Street, to prevent them from ever doing into what they did to us before. And I want to move toward a level playing field. As I’ve said, happy to do it when everybody, including the Republicans, does it."
