BUY THE TRANSCRIPTS! Let's help Bernie! Let's smoke out the transcripts!

She said she would release the transcripts and she hasn't.

Let's not wait for an October Surprise or after the convention release of Clinton's Wall St. transcripts.

Let's organize a fund raising campaign to BUY THE TRANSCRIPTS!

I'm not social media/internet/crowdfunding savvy but I would be willing to donate, and work with others who are so inclined. And I'm sure others would too.

Let's help SMOKE OUT CLINTON'S WALL ST. TRANSCRIPTS before the primaries are over by offering a reward/payment to whomever can provide these transcripts.

Let's Help Bernie!

Thoughts or ideas appreciated. How can we make this happen?

So they'd have to be purchased directly from her.

I wonder what her price is.

course these are rumors only. Heidi used to work for Goldman Sachs. Even if
the rumors are true, it's hard to imagine she would sell. As a former employee
of Goldman Sachs, I suppose she would also be bound to honor Hillary's contract
of sole ownership. If she sold the transcripts, she might become involved with
the law.

The only way to get transcripts that are authentic is if Hillary provides them.

If she doesn't provide them, that alone speaks volumes.

authentication would be needed for a legal case, but this is not a legal case. Trump will probably release them surreptitiously through some tabloid outlet such as Faux "News" where nobody cares about truth anyway.

the public interest overrode the IP rights since its an election year, she is a candidate, and her oh-so-cozy relationship with the bailout bunch is a national scandal.

That is not what she said. And she has no reason to provide more fodder for the malicious character attacks on her, made by cutting, pasting, misquoting, and twisting her words.

Bernie hasn't even provided two tax returns.

First, I'm sure you learned in high school that there's a difference between a primary source and a secondary source, not to mention direct quotes vs. paraphrase.

Second, Trump has plenty hidden from public view, so she needs to hold that card to press him for similar information.

Third, Sanders has not even risen to the standard of releasing multiple tax returns. (He hasn't had time. There's nothing interesting there. But he'll do it tomorrow.)

Fourth, the public is not owed everything a candidate ever did or said, and in this particular climate -- Sanders supporters poised to POUNCE on ANYthing -- she's be stupid to provide more for them to distort. If she only said, "I'm glad to be here today" - SNAP! She's a criminal!

from Wall Street. She has done this countless times ...passing the buck. If the stuff came out in those transcripts (which I hope they do) it would be far worse than Romney's 47% I bet.

It's become standard for presidential candidates to release years of tax returns.

Does Bernie have something to hide?
