WTF? Hillary was apparently getting the only transcripts of her speeches:

When will she look into them?

Read this "concerning her Oct. 13 speech at a University of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation fundraiser" in 2014:
(bolding and underlining mine)

"“It is agreed that Speaker will be the only person on the stage during her remarks,” according to the May 13 contract the Harry Walker Agency signed for Clinton’s keynote address at the Bellagio.

According to her standard speaking contract, Clinton will remain at the event no longer than 90 minutes; will pose for no more than 50 photos with no more than 100 people; and won’t allow any press coverage or video- or audio-taping of her speech.

The only record allowed will be made by a stenographer whose transcription will be given only to Clinton. The stenographer’s $1,250 bill, however, will go to the UNLV Foundation."

Yes, but they'd never work again. She would know who did each transcript. hedda_foil Feb 2016 #13

She's gotta be saying some kind of reprehensible shit if it's this locked down.

Maybe the stenographer is missing? Disappeared? AWOL? Maybe she should check her office for the transcripts she has exclusive access to. They might be in a folder on her desk buried under the death rate of deported Honduran children.

The really sinister part is that she won't let us check her claims.

If the "Bernistas" you seem to detest don't jump on the Hillary bandwagon should she manage to bulldoze her way into the nomination.

I'm sure the members of the DU Hillary Clubhouse, a handful of superdelegates, and a gaggle of banksters will be more than enough to elect her.

Team Hillary -- burning bridges on a daily basis.
