I don’t see any genuine “smoking gun” here. I really don’t. She gives speeches to WS. OK. And that should be distressing to the pubic at large? I’m not feeling any genuine threat here.

Because some people think she’s been saying one thing to them and something else to us. The wealthy/powerful get almost everything they want from our government, the people get almost nothing, its time that changed. The nature of her speeches to the wealthy and powerful will be a good indicator of whether or not she can be vehicle for that change.

Yeah the bias is so deep seated. Even some of those people supposedly on her side (Democrats) apply this double standard, I guess often unwittingly. She knows it well hence “at some point I want everybody to have to answer.” She’s fighting it.
I’m sure we will hear this “everybody have to answer” many times till November.

Then they should stop listening to Foxy Nooz, as well as the imaginary voices in their otherwise empty heads.

What do you think is in those transcripts? And are you in a position to understand what was said? I’m not. Why do you HAVE TO know? You’re making some stupid ass assumption that the meetings were nefarious in nature. Why should she have to prove you wrong?

What a ridiculous response. Is that really the best you can do?
Transcripts of Hillary’s speeches are the new Hillary’s emails and Bernie Sanders is the new Trey Gowdy.

What you just said makes an assumption that the speeches contain some sort of promise to shape the country in some nefarious way. Which strikes me as kinda infantile.
It reminds me of the way some on the Left are absolutely convinced that TPP is the SOLE REASON the middle class is dying out. Never mind that there are many other socio/political factors at play in this county. Nope - it’s TPP. Apparently, her speeches to WS outline her template for world domination.

Yeah, because I’m sure that will be the end of it.

Once again HRC is held to a different standard. No other candidate is being asked to release
any information from their speeches. HRC is always force to prove her adversaries false negatives and conspiracies wrong. Do they want HRC to release transcripts from Whitewater, Vince Foster and testify about Benghazi again.

I always hear how nasty Bernie supporters are. Thank you for proving that both sides do it.

Why should HRC be held to a different standard. She gave paid speeches as a private citizen
when she had no power to do anyones bidding. Sanders can’t prove she did anything wrong so e and his lunatic supporters demand she release something no one else is forced to do

You know, seriously, it’s appalling to see how those FOX disseminated right-wing talking points against Hillary insinuate their way into people’s mind – even those people on the liberal side. And the bad thing is often times they aren’t really aware those talking points have framed the way they see her so their hate of her is just reinforced every time they hear her talk. Of course she is not exempt from criticism, and she did make mistakes (who didn’t?), but the standard she finds herself fighting against is just so vicious, unfair, and ridiculous.

When actually the world has become safer since WWII. And to cross the streams a little bit, mutually beneficial integration and understanding between people happens when prejudices are overcome.

No, just the speeches relevant to this campaign. Is she consistent in what she says to us and what she’s telling her wealthy benefactors. Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin Page of Northwestern University did a study on proposed policy changes over the last 20 years. What they found was that Business/Wealthy/powerful got almost all of what they wanted. Policies that would benefit the average Americans almost never pass, if they do it was because it benefited both citizens and the wealthy. That needs to change, if Hillary is going to be that change it would be nice to know what she’s been telling the folks who get whatever they like.

The NYT called for Obama to release his birth cert as well. What Clinton is doing ( and I’m glad she is ) is resitting a media effort to smack her with questions framed from GOP talking points. We all just saw how the delightful Mika Brzezinski can be, how objective she can be and for that matter how fawning she can be when she’s got a GOP’er in the chair. Asking Clinton about her speeches to the big banks is the kind of “tough question” she ruled out for Donald Trump.
If there was anything heavy in those speeches it would be out by now. It’s inconceivable that the Big Banks don’t have transcripts or that no one in the audience had an iPhone. That’s one of the reasons she’s being asked to divulge the speeches…to put the crap to rest. Same thing with Obama’s Birth Certificate. Many folks were asking for it to imply he hadn’t one and others to put the bogus crap to rest. “just show the damn thing and move on” and eventually, due to the medias consistent adoption of the GOP’s position, he did. Clinton probably will too. But both shouldn’t have been made to. And both were right ti fight it.
But before the Sanders folks get their pants too wet they might ask themselves why is Mika doing this to Clinton when she ruled it out for Trump?

This is nothing more than guilt by association. If she spoke to WS then, by definition, it just HAS TO BE BAD. World domination and the zombiepocalypse can’t be far behind. It shows a real inability at critical thinking (to say the least of it).

You say that Clinton’s “public record can’t be used to prove she will break up banks, if necessary.” With all respect, you are totally wrong. Her public record (unlike Sanders) is replete with strong support for Dodd Frank, and that is exactly what Dodd Frank is all about. It sets up a new 24/7 regulatory regime that closely regulates the big banks and other “systemically important” non-bank financial institutions, like insurers. As part of that regime, the Financial Stability Oversight Council has absolute authority to take apart any big bank that poses a threat to the economy. It is all very clearly set out in Dodd Frank, for anyone who wants to read it.

Did the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce hear Sec. Clinton say something about TPP in one of her speeches that made him say what he said? There is no evidence he attended any of them. So what you’re asking Clinton to do is reveal private business in order to clarify unrelated speculation made by a man that might just be full of shit. Nice try.
