Snowden: US Presidential Campaign a Choice Between Trump and Goldman Sachs

by Stephen Lendman

It’s largely a choice of style, not substance, dirty business as usual continuing no matter who succeeds Obama. Still, Snowden has a point. 

Hillary Clinton, like husband Bill, got super-rich through speechmaking, lucrative book deals and other Big Money handouts.
