Related: About this forumJust checking - any links to Hillary's Wall St. transcripts yet?
I assumed she'd release them before the #CAPrimary so voters can see exactly what they are supposed to be voting for. I did check Google, but I guess my search skills are lacking because I couldn't locate a link to them. Can anyone assist with a link? Thanks in advance for your time and trouble. I'll never understand why they make finding pertinent info like this so freakin' difficult, yet a thousand links will show up if you Google for nonsense stuff. Perhaps I am just not using the correct search phrase.

(3,146 posts)Cozying up to the same banks that crashed the economy in 2007/2008 to the tune of $250K per speech is not a democratic value I share.

(1,000 posts)My vote may be determined by what Hillary says in those closed door meetings with wall street.
I don't care what the republicans have said to wall street cause I am not voting for any of them.
If Hillary continues to hide them I can only believe she has a good reason. Would she not release them if they showed her to be a true progressive and one to fight for the middle class. We all know the answer to that !
As for Bernie's taxes he has released more and will continue to do so.

Sanders should have released years of returns long ago.

Despite facing off against billionaire businessman Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton may be the candidate whose ties to Wall Street become a real problem, and a clear majority of voters now say the former first lady should release transcripts of her high-priced private speeches to top financial firms.
A poll by the media company Morning Consult released Wednesday found that nearly two-thirds of voters think Mrs. Clinton should make public those speeches, including three she delivered at Goldman Sachs after leaving the State Department. Mrs. Clinton was paid $625,000 for those speeches, and her refusal to make their content public seems to play into the broader idea that she is dishonest and has something to hide, analysts say.
The former secretary of state has brushed off calls to release the transcripts despite heavy pressure from her presidential primary rival, Sen. Bernard Sanders. Mr. Sanders attacks seem to have resonated with a near majority in her party: 47 percent of Democratic voters say Mrs. Clinton should release the transcripts, the survey found. Political analysts say the Goldman Sachs speeches are likely to remain an issue in Mrs. Clintons general election fight against Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
The speeches, they say, are perhaps the greatest example of Mrs. Clintons ties to Wall Street. Those ties have left many progressives skeptical of the candidate and have fueled the notion that she is beholden to the political and financial establishment.
Over the coming months, attempts to paint Mr. Trump as an elitist are likely to fail unless Mrs. Clinton effectively deals with her own Wall Street connections, said veteran Democratic Party political consultant Hank Sheinkopf. Wall Street is a problem because it further notes her ties to elite and reminds voters she needs to capture of the 2008 crash, he said Wednesday. Trump is the outsider positioning himself as the insurgent. Secretary Clintons economic plan has to trump Trump and make Trump the elitist.

(13,877 posts)kind of like those re-created emails...what she's up to. Anyone who needs to know what's in a transcript that awarded a 6 figure fee, well, c'mon, y'all, it is a dead horse. But the stink will remain well past November.
Just another in the Clinton Shuffle.

(13,877 posts)But the past "scandals" have been old technology that used to work...behind closed doors, leaked when convenient, back up plans etc.
Now is like wiping servers...having one in her basement. Part of me believes that she is that ignorant, coddled, petulant and hubris-filled. The other part is her/my age and we don't get all the implications right away not being raised with all this technology...even though we learn to use it.
