Hillary Clinton believes Republicans should set the standard for disclosure

.@HillaryClinton believes Republicans should set the standard for disclosure of her Wall Street speeches. Aren’t we better than that?

I find it very odd that a "progressive" is doing the exact same thing as conservatives and wants them to lead the way to transparency..... and receives applause while doing so at the Town hall last night

to say incriminating things in the speeches. But, the more she stonewalls, the more suspicious I become. And, the Republicans blab everything they can think of in public speeches. If they had any sense, the would call Hillary's bluff and release their idiotic speeches.

Unfortunately, we have numerous low caliber candidates this year. The name "Clown Car' fits perfectly.

And on our side, Sec.Weasel Words isn't much better.

But Trump will use this is a General, and if one of his buddies in the media drips some of what she has said it might sink her. She already has a trust problem - so anything that continues this narrative like the speeches can really hurt her in the General and suppress voter turnout.
