Bernie's tax returns (which have been a part of the process for 40 years) and still he hasn't provided them. Transcripts have never been part of the process and now they are the most important thing is the world. But really, what is there in Bernie's taxes that are so damning that he can't release them? He says he is for transparency and then cloaks his personal information behind a dark veil. Interesting.

"UPDATE: As he had promised, Sanders released his full 2014 tax return on April 15, 2016."


So where's those speech transcripts? She still "looking into it"?

and the Bernie-ites, instead of asking Bernie for them, attempt to deflect the question by asking an unrelated question. Speech transcripts have never been released.

and for good reason...because that would be the end of the campaign. By the way, your claim of speeches not being released, apparently you forget the Romney 47% snippet from one of his speeches.

If the candidate is taking large sums of money from a group who recently trashed the world economy, voters have not only a right, but a responsibility, to know what she has done, or promised to do for said group in return for said money.

Contain information about her philosophy on leadership, business practices and economics.

It would be pretty naive to think she gave speeches about how to grow a beautiful garden.

If anything controversial was said, we would have heard about it by now. I've been to many such speeches, and my guess is that they were just as boring and 'cookie cutter' as any other talk made to large groups, which is why they never made waves.

If you really want a smoking gun, look for small, private meetings with Wall Street executives.
