#ReleaseTheTranscripts!

1. But what does she say about tasteless racist jokes?

[rhett o rick]

21. Blinded by hubris. nm

[apcalc]

37. She did nothing racist.

[Broward]

2. Perhaps, it's not just the ass-kissing of big banks but more racist jokes in there that's

holding her back.

[bjo59]

28. Does make one wonder, doesn't it?

[merrily]

3. The transcripts I won't let you see contain nothing anyone should see.

Just like the emails that I did not give to State after I had the server wiped contained nothing anyone should see.

[pdsimdars]

8. The FBI have recovered all of them . . . . .

[merrily]

10. Maybe, but that was not what she had in mind when she had the server wiped.

[CorporatistNation]

24. First She Wanted Bernie's Speeches... There Were None... Still Would Not Release The Transcripts!

Now its tax returns for transcripts...

What does she want... receipts for business lunches? It's mixing apples w/ oranges... We already know Bernie's assets and income from his financial report that every Senator or Congressman must file. So Hillary where are you going to place the "goal posts" if Bernie pulls out his W-2's and hands them to ya? Ya need to know every deduction that he's ever taken? We know that this is a quid pro quo that's why you refuse to show us the transcripts which you have sole control over. So we all are of the opinion that you have had more than enough time to.."look into it." So what if we don't believe a word you say... right

?

Wait and see how THAT works out for ya... hmmm?

[timlot]

4. Well Damn, That setup was pretty hostile.

She should have to said, "Just a minute, let me go them out the car". Then left.

[msongs]

5. she doesn't sound angry at all. defiant? ummm no, she disagrees with the questioner's lecture nt

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

11. I used the title from the youtube video...

It isn't my opinion. I think she just sounds her typical way; Spews a word salad to shock and awe people into forgetting what she was supposed to be talking about in the first place.

[pdsimdars]

6. Deflect. . . she NEVER answers the questions asked.

And she kept harping on "same standard" well, Bernie released his transcripts. Isn't that the standard they were talking about? Bernie released his transcript.
So she changed the subject.
And that answer explains this graph. Hillary has the LEAST trustworthiness of ALL candidates.

[hedda_foil]

7. I don't understand how anyone could be satisfied with her answer. I really don't.

[Juicy_Bellows]

23. ^This

How can anyone be satisfied with that lame response?

[DemocracyDirect]

9. This is not important.

Because it doesn't matter if our politicians are bought and paid for.

[JRLeft]

12. It there was nothing to see she would have released them.

[FreakinDJ]

14. Thats only obvious

[JRLeft]

18. If she ever released them it would be game over.

No one will ever see them.

[FreakinDJ]

13. But but .. Its My Turn ... We don't need no stinking Transcripts !!

[JudyM]

15. The short version of her answer: no, because there's a "double standard."

Playing her usual victim card.

[Dragonfli]

16. You have to admit, she is very skilled at playing the victim card, she practices a lot

Especially as a way to avoid answering a question. I have never once heard her give a straight answer to a straight question, she appears to always tap dance around, play various cards, change the subject, all without giving a straight answer.

Usually she doesn't answer the actual question at all, the rare times she does she answers in vague lawyer speak that leaves so much wiggle room to change the answer to mean almost anything she wants later on.

I prefer straight talk to lawyer speak or refusal to do anything other than dance around, until no one even remembers the question, let alone notices that she never answered it.

[sadoldgirl]

17. She cannot show us how transparent she is,

if she keeps on deflecting and digressing.

So, let's say Bernie's tax returns come in,
(I doubt that anything serious can be found
there, but who knows)
then will she give out the transcripts?
I don't think so.

[JRLeft]

19. She would lose all of her support.

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

20. I hope Bernie brings it up in the debate

He should have his people call the R candidates and get their pledge to release any transcripts from paid speeches they gave, if any. Then announce that on the stage to call her out and force their release!

[DemocracyDirect]

22. I bet Trump does exactly that if she is the nominee.

I'm sure the RNC has the sound bites from one of her speeches all ready to go.

Scary stuff.

[grasswire]

27. He can't do it until Jane releases the tax returns.

Really. That's a problem and I don't know why the Sanders don't just get it out of the way.

[Juicy_Bellows]

25. KICK!

[CentralCoaster]

26. I didn't care for her tone there, kind of "fussy" like she felt picked on, bullied.

From the other room it sounded like an adolescent griping about having to do something and petulantly refusing unless all the other kids in school have to do it, too.

Or was it just me?

[grasswire]

29. perpetual victim

Think how long she has played that card!!

More than two decades, isn't it?

[Politicalboi]

33. And some want to give us more time with her

Poor Hillary. She's so misunderestimated.

[Yurovsky]

30. She must be getting very tired of the peasants questioning her right to the throne...

There will be consequences and repercussions...

[Funtatlaguy]

31. Have any other candidates been paid for Wall Street speeches?

Bernie hasn't done any.
Have Trump, Cruz, or Kasich?

[Arizona Roadrunner]

32. Can a tax payer sue Clinton for release of speeches?

Can a tax payer sue Clinton for release of those speeches to Goldman-Sachs? If Goldman-Sachs tax deducted those speeches as an "expense", then it would be interesting to find out if a regular taxpayer has "standing" to sue. This would be based on the "regular" taxpayer paying more in taxes or getting less in services because of the lost revenue to the government due to the $675,000 tax deduction.

[Juicy_Bellows]

34. When Bernie releases his taxes will she change her tune? NT.

[Avalux]

35. Whaaa whaaa whaaa!! Why is everybody always picking on me?

[Bread and Circus]

36. Jesus Christ, release the fucking speeches.

[apcalc]

38. The speeches...

Straw man.

[BernieforPres2016]

39. Absolutely pathetic

I wish they would have tried to pin her down by saying, "OK, so are you saying that when Bernie Sanders releases his last 8 years of income tax returns, you will then release the transcripts of your paid corporate speeches?" Of course she would have moved the goalposts again.

But I'm glad to see one journalist finally pound her on the issue.

[Laughing Mirror]

42. Forever evasive

Forever posing as the victim. Forever Hillary.

[2cannan]

40. Hillary made some weird comment on MTP last week challenging others to release their emails

as she has done. It was so strange almost as if she had mixed up "emails" with "transcripts". And she made it sound as if she is the one who decided to release her emails (as if she wasn't required to) and that others should have to release their emails too! Huh?

snip

Clinton’s emails

Clinton repeated her acknowledgment that her use of a private email server was a mistake, along with her assertion that all of her work-related correspondence was sent using government-operated email servers, which would mean that all of those emails should be sitting in government files somewhere.

In any event, she said, all of her emails have been released.

"I think that anybody who's actually looked at this has concluded that I have now put out all of my emails," she said. "Go and ask others for their emails. Ask everybody else who's in public office. I'm the one who's done it, and I did it because I thought it was the right thing to do."
