2. If Trump isn't going to release his taxes, I don't know that he'd make an issue over her transcripts

In the mean time, I don't see Hillary doing anything that could complicate her path to the nomination. For her not to have released them early on, I think it's safe to assume that there's a source of some bad PR in them, even if they are truly fundamentally benign. Even if only in the way one phrases the same idea to a group of people friendly to an idea than you would present it to the general public. So I don't assume there's anything truly terrible in them, but yeah, for her to have felt the bad PR of not releasing them was worth it, she must feel that the PR would be worse if she released them.
