How can anyone POSSIBLY trust Hillary to be President of the United States?

When she won't even release the contents of paid speeches she gave for Wall Street banks?

She says she's a progressive who likes to get things done, how long will it take her to get this simple task done?

The effect is she is covering up whatever it is she said for the big bucks that is embarrassing Dragonfli Feb 2016 #2
she's probably reassuring them that her TPP will be law, no worries; it immunizes banks permanantly amborin Feb 2016 #3

The cause is several potential constituents that she is asking to vote for her want to know more about what she says behind closed doors to the very people she "claims" she will fight against on our behalf.

If she did not claim to be our champion against these very financial predators, and if she was not trying to earn our trust and VOTES; I'd say it's her own damn business what she says to her extremely wealthy friends (that have in the past actually ruined our economy and caused many of us to lose equity if not the very roofs we live under), but such is not the case.

If she were honest she would release them. Why is doing what is right so damn hard for her?
What is preventing her from releasing the truth? Is the truth so damaging to what is a mere pretense of honesty, or is she honest, but someone is threatening her, keeping her from releasing things she said to those she supposedly would fight against on our behalf?

I could understand if her actions or rather inaction regarding this matter is due to acting under duress, but shy of that, it stinks to high heaven of a cover up that would expose something she feels would cost her our votes.

from ANY regulations.

She surely mentions this in one or all of the speeches and knows it immediately tanks her primary chances (which are evaporating anyway)
