Keeping Wall Street Speeches Secret Speaks Volumes About Hillary Clinton

[Armstead]

23. I will be perfectly sincere in this

I cannot fathom why she doesn't release them.

If I were a supporter of hers I's have been clamoring for it, just to put the issue to bed. You don't think the Trumpster isn't going to make hay out of it?

If I were her, i would have wanted to put the questions to bed tight away.....Unless there were things said that really would be politically damaging....It would have been a WIN to put out some harmless speeches, and embarrassed Sanders in the process.

No there is not precedent, and she is perfectly entitled not to. But she is also the first candidate who made many millions by making a relatively small number of high-dollar speeches at a time when she was considering a run for the presidency. And knowing that it epitomizes the negative stereotype that many people think about her.

It was also bad judgement to have made them to the people she would be responsible for regulating -- especially Wall St. firms that people are angry at -- on the eve of a presidential campaign. And, even though she is winning the primary, it HAS hurt her image among those who are not loyalists.
