In reply to the discussion: Clinton Angrily Defends Paid Speeches, Defiant On Releasing Transcripts [View all]tomm2thumbs
(13,297 posts)9. since releasing the transcripts would make this go away, it shows that there is something to hide
the path of least resistance is to simply prove herself trustworthy and release them, but obviously her having to deal with this issue over and over and over again is somehow more advantageous than releasing what was said in those quarter-of-a-million-dollar speeches .... which tells me there is something worth hiding.
Below is just ONE example where she wants to grant more job waivers than the government limit for foreign workers over equally qualified Americans who could aim for the same jobs. I can only imagine what she is hiding in the other 'closed-door speeches' if this is an example of a speech that was actually public.
It is obvious that it would immediately end the questions if she released the transcripts, so no doubt there is something worth keeping hidden... and Republicans who attended those events in great numbers will be willing to release the audio recordings they no doubt made, once a General Election contest begins....
