WE Deserve To Know What's in Those Transcripts NOW! Not AFTER She's "nominated!"

Hillary is All about SECRECY! So here comes the female version of NIXON?


e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

...we'll either see this transcripts from HRC by November or, and this wouldn't surprise me, we're going to start hearing Donald speachifying on "I heard this...", "I read that...", "I'm just sayin'...".

This is going to be a black hole of innuendo for him and it pisses me off that we've come to the state of journalism that we present his rambling rantings as "news" and fact.

If any other candidate said " That Donald, I don't know for sure, I hear people saying he eats sautéd puppies for breakfast"...people would say your crazy. If Donald said that about HRC, tomorrow's headline would ask "We're investigating what breed of puppy HRC eats for b'fast".

Just f'ing insane but he'll make points out of these transcripts for sure.

He seems to have created a framework in media's mind that he shouldn't be held to the standards he creates for others.

And, at the same time, because of his f'ed up persona, he can say things others can and not be held accountable.

If HRC were to say "I don't know, that Donald...I hear he's hasn't paid a dime of federal tax in 14 years"...instead of media saying "Trump dodges federal tax"...they'd be reporting on the new investigation into HRC's connections at the IRS that have shared confidential information with her.

It's f'ing lunacy.

tRump can not give a speech. He can 'sara-splain' ramble-on all over the place but a cogent message he has none. All he has is bluster, hate and bullying. That we can be thankful for if Hill does make it to the GE.

Bernie Sanders would be our better choice to go against the Jackass but the cards have been stacked against him from day one. In a fair and honest Primary there is no doubt that Bernie would be so far out in front that Hillary would only be a distant memory by now. Hillary Clinton has a trust problem and it was not me or anyone else that caused that. It was her and Bill and whats the meaning of 'is.'

the thought police will be after you for damaging Hillary.

We won't hear about those transcripts until they give Hillary the nomination,then we will be expected to defend whatever is in them,if we don't they will say we aren't Democrats.

He may not have enough cash to self finance his campaign, but I'm sure he has a million or two to find those transcripts. She should have released them months ago and just dealt with the blowback.

I have also been a member of DU since 2002 my info was lost over the years and i have had to change my name but for the past year or two people on DU have really,really became sensitive to the least comments

. DU use to be fun now you can be tombstoned for nothing that is why many left in the past few years. There are many trolls here now because it is election season. This may be my last post.

a bunch of crooks behind closed doors must be pretty damning or else she'd have released the info long ago. I assume the R's know what was said and will gladly share it wiith the public once she's nominated.

Soon, all this negative talk about Hillary will be forbidden! (Referring to this forum becoming a pro Hillary safe space after primary voting is ended)


Hmmm, makes me wonder, lets say indictments are handed down after the primary voting is over, or some huge new Hillary related scandal breaks, will DU and its members be forced to ignore it, and pretend it isn't happening? How bizarre would that be.

their tax returns. The minute Sanders refused to do so, you folks forfeited the high ground in this particular debate. Problem being, your high ground seems to be much lower than ours.
