Clinton is blowing a chance to put egg on Bernie;s face

[Armstead]

If the speeches she gave are as innocuous as she claims, I'd say she should just go ahead and release them. It would put the issue to rest, and also embarrass the Sanders campaign. "See? I told ya. Nothing there."

But instead, she's playing the game that has become so familiar all these years. Deflect, deny, delay, obfuscate.....Make things worse needlessly.

That is IF they really are innocuous.

1. I expect Bernie knows what was said.

He knows it's a no-win for Hillary.

13. Agreed.... Mika MSNBC, " Print Reporter Has Transcripts!"

2. I agree.

Along with many others, I may be faced with voting for Hillary in the GE, and I want to be able to do it in good conscience (if it comes to that).

Hillary gave paid speeches to banks and corps for 4 years and made millions. Recently, she has claimed on several occasions that she went to Wall Street and told them to "cut it out" (during the same time she blamed home owners for the crash), and has vowed to go after them as president. It just doesn't add up.

We all have a right to know what she said in those paid speeches. Her evasive tactics seem like she's mocking those of us asking.

If Hillary wants my vote, she'll need to release them so I can make an informed decision.

3. Me thinks Bernie got into her head.

9. I hope... nevermind.

4. If that were the case they would have been released long ago

5. It's a risk/reward thing

Clearly, the risk of looking like she's hiding something is preferable to revealing what's actually in those speeches.

[Armstead]

6. In other words....she's hiding something

[cyberswede]

8. Yes, and it's worse for her than the appearance of "hidding something" is

7. This article gives the basic idea of her Wall Street speeches.

Having read that article, I'm more interested in her pharmaceutical industry speeches.

[Luminous Animal]

11. I agree.

10. Bernie is merely grasping at straws

Trying to find an issue, any issue to gain some ground. Bernie is a very smart man and he knows this thing is slipping away fast if he can't find a viable issue.

12. The request was made weeks ago...She keeps dragging it out
