Sen. Elizabeth Warren declined multiple opportunities on Thursday to say whether Hillary Clinton should release the transcripts of her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions.
The Massachusetts Democrat and progressive icon, who has not publicly endorsed Clinton or Bernie Sanders, was pressed on the issue during an interview with "CBS This Morning."
Look, I think that our candidates are out doing what they should be doing in a primary. They are debating the issues," said Warren, whose outspokenness against Wall Street has fueled and defined her career both in and out of Congress.

(1,748 posts)It isn't pleasant, even on the lowest levels.
I imagine at Sen Warren's level, it's exponentially worse.

Note that she doesn't give a definitive answer. To me that's very telling.

Its obvious her agenda would best be served by Bernie winning, Clinton will just impede the market regulations she's been pushing the last 2 years.

How would releasing them "damage" her campaign? Does she not trust the people to make up their own minds about her performances for Wall Street big shots?

(10,164 posts)There's been way, way too much time to create "scrubbed" versions, and if video or other plausible non-Hillary evidence of the content of those speeches was going to surface, it would have done so by now. This is a dead issue.
Tierra_y_Libertad
(50,414 posts)At least about the Fiat. But, as to Hillary's ability to CYA, she needs new and more creative writers to handle her misspeaks, mistakes, and all too well known mendacity.

pass on it...they should be demanding she release them as well.

Mike Nelson
(9,984 posts)...never releases her transcripts. Dumbest "issue" ever... Everyone knows she said nice things about her host payers. People are not that stupid. This "issue" does nothing to expand Bernie's support and he should spend his time more wisely.
