The public and the media would intentionally misunderstand her.

13. well, that confirms she will push for and implement the TPP if she wins. If there was no worries

they would release them. Or it might be knee jerk. No republicans but Trump remain and he never gave speeches to the leaches. Bernie released his. Her conditions have been met yet still no wall street speeches. Amazing. Love that transparency.

9. No typo, they actually put this out. It looks like they made a mistake without noticing it.

In their efforts to make it after the elections..one has to wonder why? But let's wait for team weathervane to come up with a "plausible" explanation.

Hopefully that is the standard amount of time it takes for request to response. Otherwise, that does not seem fair. I am a strong Hillary supporter.

17. I doubt they even know how many people already have copies of her emails.

I'm sure that Wikileaks has quite a few of her emails, and they don't seem to care about FOIA requests either!

20. Gee . . . wonder what's in them? Not hard to guess.

Like the Goldman transcripts, we'll all get to find out after the election. At least I've found a bright side to the enactment of the TPP. If it's passed the small pickup trucks everyone used to always buy (and are the most popular trucks in the world) will be imported again. Something known as the "chicken tax" is the reason they stopped being imported and that will go away. I haven't figured out a positive side to Goldman screwing us over though. Just keep telling yourself you don't need that much food in retirement.
