Bernie Sanders is putting some extra juice behind the effort to learn what Hillary Clinton said to Wall Street executives.
Clinton’s Democratic rival tweeted a link to “IWillLookIntoIt.com,” a reference to her dodge of a request to release the transcripts of her paid speeches to financial firms.

Sanders’ simple tweet received over 4,100 retweets and caused the site to crash Friday morning.
The site has nothing more than the text, “Hillary Clinton has been looking into releasing her transcripts for paid speeches to Wall St. and other special interest for,” followed by a running clock.
As of this moment, it stands at 14 days, 18 hours, 50 minutes, and 41 seconds.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports 40-year-old Jed McChesney is behind the site.
“To me, it was the equivalent of her saying, ‘Let them eat cake,’” McChesney says of Clinton’s “dismissive” response to the request.
