I'm not sure why some are choosing so vociferously to defend not releasing the transcripts of these speeches. Either there is "no there...there" or there's content within the speeches which would highlight Sec Clinton's private views. I'm not looking for a scandal...I'm looking for the truth! As a Democratic voter, I don't think that's too much to ask. I'm too cynical to trust a politician who says "take my word for it, I'll fight against 'X' group", while taking money from those groups on the side.
