Why won't Hillary Clinton release at the text (preferably audio) of her speeches to Goldman Sachs?

What did she say? Is there something she is trying to hide?

If I were a Clinton supporter I would encourage her to release the text of those speeches. No self-respecting member of the Democratic Party should expect anything less. We have a right to know.

...clearly worth a lot of money. Why should she simply give it away when she can dole it out on Wall Street for hundreds of thousands of dollars per utterance?

Just trying to figure out if what you propose is fair or not. I wouldn't expect it proper to have to disclose a private conversation unless the circumstances warranted it.

She is running for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and you are talking about if it is "proper" for the people to know what she said? You are joking, right?

when he said he thought 47% of Americans were deadbeats. He didn't want that released either.

One of these speeches hasn't popped up on YouTube or been recorded. Do they collect everyone's devices when they enter or something?

I might re-work it a little bit and start giving a few of those myself.
