A clear picture of the 1964 Goldwater Girl comes across, one who has accumulated a lot, is out of touch with the American public, and one who is not disinclined to bend any and all rules if it is to her advantage.

Lauria focuses on key issues that drove the electorate toward Trump, and were downplayed or ignored by the Clinton campaign. We discuss her hawkish approach to Syria and Libya, her effort to respond to Sanders by “moving left” on TPP, minimum wage and other issues and the resulting perception that Clinton had no core values.

We talk about Syria, and the predictions of the 2012 report from Defense Intelligence Agency that an “Islamic state” would form in Syria and Iraq. Clinton was not honest about the real nature of the Syrian war and the role of nominal allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the conflict.

We discuss the “basket of deplorables” speech, and some direct quotes from the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs–which she fought so hard to keep under wraps. We talk about the appearance of conflict of interest in Huma Abedin’s triple play: she was on the payroll of the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, and foundation president Doug Band’s separate lobbying operation. We also touch on Sid Blumenthal who was on the foundation payroll as he lobbied Hillary for a deal for Joe Wilson’s client, resulting in over $60 million in State Dept. funds used to construct a power plant in Tanzania.

My organization, WikiLeaks, took a lot of heat during the run-up to the recent presidential election. We have been accused of abetting the candidacy of Donald J. Trump by publishing cryptographically authenticated information about Hillary Clinton’s campaign and its influence over the Democratic National Committee, the implication being that a news organization should have withheld accurate, newsworthy information from the public.

The Obama Justice Department continues to pursue its six-year criminal investigation of WikiLeaks, the largest known of its kind, into the publishing of classified documents and articles about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay and Mrs. Clinton’s first year as secretary of state. According to the trial testimony of one F.B.I. agent, the investigation includes several of WikiLeaks founders, owners and managers. And last month our editor, Julian Assange, who has asylum at Ecuador’s London embassy, had his internet connection severed.

I can understand the frustration, however misplaced, from Clinton supporters. But the WikiLeaks staff is committed to the mandate set by Mr. Assange, and we are not going to go away, no matter how much he is abused. That’s something that Democrats, along with everyone who believes in the accountability of governments, should be happy about.

Despite the mounting legal and political pressure coming from Washington, we continue to publish valuable material, and submissions keep pouring in. There is a desperate need for our work: The world is connected by largely unaccountable networks of power that span industries and countries, political parties, corporations and institutions; WikiLeaks shines a light on these by revealing not just individual incidents, but information about entire structures of power.

While a single document might give a picture of a particular event, the best way to shed light on a whole system is to fully uncover the mechanisms around it — the hierarchy, ideology, habits and economic forces that sustain it. It is the trends and details visible in the large archives we are committed to publishing that reveal the details that tell us about the nature of these structures. It is the constellations, not stars alone, that allow us to read the night sky.

Election season is winding down, but it appears likely that a new book will help keep the partisan rancor burning bright. OR Books, an independent publisher based in New York, says it will publish “Hillary Clinton: The Goldman Sachs Speeches” in January.

The 160-page book includes leaked content from speeches Clinton made to the investment bank shortly after she stepped down as secretary of state. The texts of the talks were initially released in October by WikiLeaks and had been hacked from a breach in the e-mail account of John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager.
