What is Hillary hiding in her transcripts?

Not only does she continue to move the goalposts as to releasing them (which in itself admits that she has the power to release them), why not just show her cards if what she said during the speeches was a-ok?

This has obviously become a campaign issue. If it's a tempest in a teapot like she and her campaign imply that it is, why not make everyone look silly by releasing them?

I don't get it, she has nothing to lose if they are as benign as she says they are.

to be honest, and for the reasons you just stated.

I doubt there is anything like Mitt's 47 percent statement in them... but her refusal will lead to a lot of creative speculation. Now if there is something like that, then it makes sense.

usually speeches of that sort are just usual pat on the back kind of a thing.

Exact same BS she spews in public. People would read the transcript, and say these people could have played a youtube video of Clinton speech for 30 minutes and save themselves $300K. Anyone with 2 brain cells would see they are not paying for the speech but for the access.

But another likely theory that makes more sense is that she speaks badly about Obama. I could see her saying Obama and administration is too tough on you guys. They and the public are scapegoating you. Crash was result of lots of people not just you guys.

5. Clinton’s Speeches for Goldman Sachs Described as “Glowing”

But a picture of Clinton's comments for Goldman is now coming into focus, thanks to Politico's Ben White, who reconstructed her speeches from sources who attended the talks. And it doesn't look good for the Democratic candidate. An anonymous attendee described one as “pretty glowing about us” and that “it’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. . . . She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.” If the transcript came out, “it would bury her against Sanders,” the source added later. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Fuck Joe Scarborough and his talking mouthpieces. He's a fucking Republican right wing murderer. Why on earth are we going to believe anything from his show without actual proof? This guy already had a post hidden for making shit up about transcripts with no links and no proof.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Feb 23, 2016, 11:02 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What you are asking for is censorship and I will not vote to hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Really? Why don't you even hear the premise of the question? Why will HRC not release her transcripts of speeches (that she was payed hundreds of thousands of dollars for) to nip this in the bud? There should be nothing to hide. Is there?
