Transcripts - Are you connecting the dots yet, seeing the dog and pony show they are rolling out?

Clinton: They are not to big too jail.

Goldman Handcuffs....

Mika - Can you assure the American People there is nothing in those transcripts....

Clinton: Yes, absolutely, absolutely .......

Release the transcripts. Voila. Mrs. Honest. Whew! She survived another right wing conspiracy.

The New York Times (the defender of all things Clinton) asks for her transcripts. Seriously?

Hillary, you are the candidate running for President that is seen as the LEAST honest and trustworthy out of all candidates running for President.

If there is truly nothing to be ashamed of or worried about in your transcripts then release them. If you are being honest and truthful, then you might gain some ground with Americans and might just edge out Donald in the trustworthy and honest Department (what a monumental achievement!). That would be fucking great for all people who support Democrats in elections, and it might help you gain some more ground with independents. A lot is at stake here so please release the transcripts.

Signed,
A Democratic voter

...at least he's saying what he believes. The longer she holds out, the worse it looks. The whole double standard accusation is stupid, as well. Bernie released his, what little there is, and she's wanting the Republicans to do the same. Sorry Hillary, we aren't choosing a Republican primary candidate, we're choosing our candidate.

is a huge problem in and of itself.

It really should disqualify her, but it doesn't appear that it's going to do so.

Since that seems to be the case, she still should release the transcripts since a lot of us want to know what she said behind closed doors to the very people that continue to demand more and more of the income and wealth pie at the expense of an overwhelming majority of Americans. It's literally a life or death issue. If she was paying fealty to them, we deserve to know.

of money. The women interviewed on the one show who said the more she learned the more disgusted she became and you don't get that kind of money for nothing represents how MANY people will feel.

I can't believe the Republicans won't be shouting this from the rooftops in the general election.

You think that will show whether she was paying fealty to them? No. Even if they are the true transcripts and that is a very big IF.

5. Good point about being the true transcripts.

If we actually do get the true transcripts I believe that Bernie Sanders would rapidly gain the momentum needed to become the nominee because I believe the reported accounts that stated she seemed like a Goldman Sachs managing director. I know that's just my opinion.

I do believe that her actual transcripts would show she was a cheerleader for them, and I do believe that's why she won't release them because she believes it would hurt her.

It's a damn shame that she continues to get so much support from so many Democrats. I honestly can't believe it. If things continue with the Democratic Party in the manner it has been operating since the DLC and New Democrats took over I'll have to think about things very carefully. We have an opportunity here with Bernie to reform the Party, and it's desperately needed. If Democrats turn their nose up at this opportunity, I'm not sure I belong here.

The really unfortunate part of all of this is that I sometimes believe that TPTB behind the current Democratic Party Establishment (i.e. Wall Street and the multinational corporations) WANT for the Democratic Party to splinter. It would serve their purposes so very well. I will feel completely disconnected from the Democratic Party if we reject Bernie Sanders and the potential he represents for beginning to reform this Party for Hillary Clinton. And, I think that's what TPTB may want me to feel. It's truly sad.

I think she will use the transcripts to drive a Republican narrative that has long been used against the working class.

There is nothing quite like blaming the victims of predatory corporate behavior and a fraudulent market which was created and driven by Wall Street greed.

After all, Mika said that the transcripts were in the hands of a Print Journalist...

"The Exhaustion" with the Clintons.... Mika, "The Transcripts WILL Come out..."



The People are wondering... WHY won't Hillary release the transcripts... ? "

Mika... "I know a reporter that is in possession of the actual transcripts!"
