(30,481 posts)What Clinton supporters know.
She releases the transcript and they don't match what right wingers rat fucking us hope for. They will then ask for emails with event coordinators and anyone else involved, say she is attached at the hip no matter what, and other methods of deflection in order to continue muddying the waters.
This is the right wings specialty. Muddying the waters and selling it to LIV's.

(643 posts)If so, too bad
We're not going away until the transcripts are released. And if you think that if she wins the nomination we're going to just fall in line and stop asking, guess again. Trust has to be earned.
I want to know what she's selling us out for.

I hope she never releases them, just to spite people like you.

Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)that she was tough on WS in the speeches they paid her to give?
She has the proof why not release it?
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)No one has a right to read them, but we damn sure have a right to call for them. Hillary has the right to grant that request or refuse. And people then have the right to view that refusal as they see fit. No one in this sorry-assed scenario is getting their rights trampled.
CBGLuthier
(12,723 posts)something. Because, gasp, shock, she is fucking hiding something.
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)She's made hundreds of speeches. Many to colleges. No one wants to hear those, though.
Selective outrage at it's finest.
CBGLuthier
(12,723 posts)Nothing selective about. it. She is deceitful.
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)He's deceitful.

(1,017 posts)Because that may be a minor factor your missing there .
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)She gives speeches. She did a LOT of that after leaving the Senate and SOS. People paid good money for it because she was in demand.
This is yet another non-issue.
Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)from snipers. She made a corkscrew escape from the stage
Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)Like she did with Wall Street?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)Just the handful of ones to banks.
And never has a candidate been asked of this before.
Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)and then claimed they were as tough on the banks, in their paid speeches, as they're talking on the campaign trail?
HRC made a claim about her speeches, let's see if she was truthful.
What is she hiding?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)She was only getting that money because of 9/11, right?
HRC supporters are short on principles
AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)Doesn't matter that the shelter is, in fact, no shelter at all. Doesn't matter that we come back in 2-3 years detailing how we got sold down the river by our own party. Won't matter.
The objective is only to elect Hillary, and nothing beyond that. Policy doesn't matter. Platform doesn't matter. Outcome doesn't matter.
Not for that audience anyway.
INdemo
(6,994 posts)Release them.Hillary Clinton is acting like
Richard Nixon did with the tapes.As it turned out he was hiding something,a lot of something. Chances are Hillary doesn't want the public to know she called
us the "little people"

(176 posts)And what they are saying to people behind closed doors...remember Romney's 47% comment?
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)datguy_6
(176 posts)And that will be a game changer...the question is whether it will be during the primary battle or the general election...
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)datguy_6
(176 posts)Knowing that Director Comey is Republican, it would not surprise in the slightest that we waits until after the primary is complete in order to drop the bomb. She already has the biggest negatives of any candidate running in the general election and will only further drag her and the party down in November.
Its like seeing a train crash happening from a mile a way...

(I can keep re-posting the same thing, too).

(4,311 posts)I've seen no noise about this in the media. In fact, I've not seen it as an issue at all except amongst Bernie supporters here on DU.

Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)on her server
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)The speeches she gave as a private citizen to a private company ?
Wish all the other candidates would release the transcripts to all the private speeches & politically associated fundraisers they attended so Hillary can also, then release hers.
27 days and not a chirp from anyone.
Appears no one is actually serious about releasing their transcripts.
Makes one think this finger pointing may be simply a self serving political move to sow some seeds of doubt in one particular candidate while looking past all others. Themselves included.
Appears that way doesn't it.
27 days & not a peep from any candidate.
What have they all got to hide?
It does smack of merely a political move.
Seems like it..
27 days & nothing..cute chirping anyway.

R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)Just like oh-so-transparent BushCo.
She and her fawning supporters should own it.
1) She's not transparent...
2) She hides what she does...
3) She's not trustworty...
But that's alright.
BillZBubb
(10,650 posts)Since there is no legal compulsion to do so and not releasing them hasn't cost her any votes, she's just not going to do it.
It is pathetic that her supporters accept on face value that she has nothing to hide.
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)...but making sure there aren't any accurate versions that might be leaked is probably a lot more daunting task.
RufusTFirefly
(8,812 posts)Especially since the corporate media has long since moved on to the next series of shiny objects.
Troubling possibilities of a major conflict of interest are too complex for headline news.
Transcripts? What transcripts?
Lizzie Poppet

jcgoldie
(11,674 posts)Various right wing scandals havent stuck to her so lets try to create one on the left by parsing everything shes ever said line by line. A scandal occurs when you discover something damning... not when you announce that your going fishing for it... better call Trump's crack team in Hawaii looking for the presidents birth certificate next.
Herman4747
(1,825 posts)what she told Goldman Sachs that Goldman Sachs thought was worth $675,000.
But she won't let us know, because she has something to hide.

Where are Clinton's? I guess that was just another one of her lies.
