"Warren is not as progressive as Bernie" is a completely legitimate critique. That he is farther left on foreign policy is undeniable.

But the idea that she's a secret Wall Street shill is, frankly, laughable. 1/
It would have been very diabolical of her to start this long con in 2004 by taking on the big banks, the Clinton administration, and the Congress over predatory lending and bankruptcy. 2/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=12mJ-U76nfg&feature=emb_logo
Here's Warren carrying water for the big banks by pressing Secretary Geithner over the backdoor bailout of the biggest banks through the AIG bailout. 3/
Grade A shilling here, holding bank regulators to account for referring high-level bankers for prosecution. 4/
Diabolical move to give a 10-minute speech about the excessive power of Citigroup, thus deceiving people into think that she is vehemently opposed to Wall Street bailouts and the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington. 5/
Here she is doing Wall Street's bidding by absolutely pantsing a big bank CEO. 6/
I want to be clear that I love both Bernie & Warren, and I'd be happy with either one as the nominee. But surely we can do better than innuendos claiming people are secret Trojan horses for wealthy elites. end/
One other thing, and this is far from the most important point here, but bank analysts' opinions are useful for some purposes (e.g., as a source of industry data). Holding them up as as proof of what Warren is *really* thinking, on the other hand, is questionable.
