Smoking guns:

* She admitted to having a "private" (real) policy position and a "public" one (lies).

* Bits of her speeches to Goldman came out and she basically said "we were way too hard on you guys" and "we need to listen more to you guys to help prevent another crisis".

* She mentioned that she basically wanted a hemispheric free trade & freedom of movement zone.

Of course, apparently it's not the done thing these days to talk about policy scandals that actually affect us during a Presidential election.

How is the first one a smoking gun? She was quoting someone else. Lincoln, I think.

Her ties to Wallstreet are hardly a surprise. It sucks, but we already knew that she's probably not going to do what needs to be done to Wallstreet. But there's no reason to believe that Trump is going to do any better, and on almost everything else, Clinton is still a lot better, or at worst less bad.

...That sounds wonderful, if a bit too good to be true. Is it supposed to be bad?

That depends. Are you a fan of NAFTA, CAFTA, the TPP and TTIP?

I think she's more alluding to something like the EU common market. NAFTA, CAFTA, TPP and TTIP don't do anything about freedom of movement, and do a lot about a ton of other things that have nothing to do with that.
