2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The whole point of getting Hillary's transcripts . . . [View all]Hoyt
(54,770 posts)26. Naw, I believe the point is more to raise a ruckus over nothing.
Don't know much about the Examiner, but I think this is pretty much true.
"The problem is, the search never ends. If Clinton were to turn over 3 transcripts of her talks to Goldman Sachs and other Wall St. firms, that would only open a new round of questions and faux controversy.
How do we know these are the true transcripts?
What was left out?
Did she ever go off-script? If so, to say what?
What did she mean by this line?
Was there a Q&A? Where are those transcripts?
Why did she praise Wall Street if she truly wants to reign them in?
Did she reveal any classified secrets?
What did she say in other speeches to non-financial firms?
What about Bills paid speeches? What did he say in private?

Bains' link doesn't even have to do with speeches -- it's a pathetic smear against his small $ donor

Bernie has released the transcripts of speeches he made to the extent that he has them.

"The point is to comb through them to find more quotes out of context to use against her." Baloney!
