In reply to the discussion: Can we all agree that Hillary should release the transcripts of her Goldman speech? [View all]Empowerer
(3,900 posts)Neither of them probably know whether there are transcripts and, if they are, where they are, who has them and what is the process for releasing them. Hillary would have been insane to say, "Yes, I'll release the transcripts" when she may not have had any idea about these details.
That said, we all know that if there are transcripts and they are released, if they don't have anything incriminating in them, she will be accused of destroying the incriminating ones and/or doctoring the released transcripts.
The call for releasing the transcripts has nothing to do with trying to get information. It's all about trying to play "gotcha"- and, as in the past, the absence of "gotcha" material does not stop them from insisting that there was DEFINITELY something corrupt going on - and the fact that there's no evidence of such corruption will be treated as actually proof of the corruption, since this absence must have been caused by a coverup.
