This is a finding that will surprise no one who has watched the Clintons since,say,1982,when Hillary Rodham abandoned her maiden name to help her husband win a tough race for governor of Arkansas. Or since 1996,when she supported the welfare reform law her husband passed with the help of Newt Gingrich,even though her progressive friends hated the plan.
It certainly won't surprise Bernie Sanders voters. Clinton's pragmatism – and her chumminess with Wall Street,the source of millions of dollars in campaign donations - were their main complaints all along.
The Hillary Clinton depicted in these many,many pages is the same Hillary Clinton you already know – and either love,tolerate or loathe. If you were paying attention before last week,WikiLeaks won't change your mind.
What's most remarkable about this megaleak is that it's yielded no real smoking gun. Even the most newsworthy quotes from her closed-door speeches to Wall Street firms often aren't as damning in context as they may seem at first.
