Transcripts: I see exactly where this is going:

If the campaign releases transcripts and there's nothing damaging in them (just like with the emails - nothing incriminating was found in them, either), Hillary will be accused of destroying incriminating transcripts and only releasing the non-incriminating ones and/or she will be accused of altering the transcripts that the campaign did release.

As sure as night follows day.

Do we really want 4 - 8 years of Clinton bad decisions causing scandals?

As if she will get things done with this kind of crap constantly popping up.

for her detractors to accuse her of wrongdoing and to insist that there's a there there even when there's absolutely no there there.

And you can bet that, if Bernie is the nominee - or even starts to look like he could become the nominee - this fire will be turned on him as well and, as they've already proven, their target does not have to have done anything wrong for them to smear them to hell and back.

in one evening for speeches ($400,000) and those fees doesn't influence her one bit???
Let me ask you this, If Hillary Clinton told you the sun rises in the West you would believe her ? Right?

Because that makes about as much sense believing Hillary when she said she was not influenced by the speaking fees.
Hillary stood there last night at the Debate for Two hours and lied.She all of a sudden is this progressive that is not influenced by Wall St money?
Her next fund raiser is at Bain Capital affiliate,A Mitt Romney Company.
So do you Think Mitt will write her a check?

to at least make sure there are no 47% gaffes in them. Hundreds of people heard her at each speech, including some who would wish her ill. If she makes it to the GE and then gets shot down by Repubs with dirt from one of the speeches, she will be done in the Dem party.

And of course, people like me would like to see the transcripts just to see if she is consistent on the issues when speaking both to the 1% and the great unwashed. There better be lots of "I am going to be tough on Wall Street" in them, since she keeps telling us, the primary voters that she will. She is such a progressive, don't cha know.

In another speech to Goldman, she outlined her plan to restore Glass-Stiegel.

Then she spoke to the health care corporations where she explained how single payer would benefit all of them.

when she's talking to them, thus solidifying the belief of many that any talk she makes about taking care of the middle class is just that - talk. She doesn't intend to harm her benefactors at all.

The other point is: did she actually make any speeches or was that just cover for GS to give her thousands of "quid pro quo" dollars.

Both are something Americans should "work themselves in a lather" over.

Romney's 47% remark was caught on video, of course. If her speeches were recorded on video, she may be toast if she made any type of remark like Romney did.

Let me tell you a few of his major accomplishments: He known as the amendment king, he was one of the founders of the progressive caucus, he help write the ACA and got it expanded, he got the fed audited for the first time ever! maybe you don't care what he did for the veterans look it up. He manage to get voted in overwhelmingly by both Dems. and Repubs. I got a lot more. He is not rich after all those years in office so I can assure you they will not find anything on him.

I doubt they would have paid Bernie $600K to tell them what he thought about the finance industry in this country.

Whatever is in the transcripts doesn't matter that much to me. The large amount of money she accepted from the people she did does.
