Heading into Day #15, has Hillary Clinton released her transcripts?

I have been busy the last 2 days -- did she release them and I missed it? I would hate for that to happen. Can someone update me? If not, I am sure they are forthcoming, because Hillary is an honest candidate.



Also I saw this press release:

“Sen. Sanders accepts Clinton’s challenge. He will release all of the transcripts of all of his Wall Street speeches. That’s easy. The fact is, there weren’t any. Bernie gave no speeches to Wall Street firms. He wasn’t paid anything while Secretary Clinton made millions, including $675,000 for three paid speeches to Goldman Sachs,” said Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs.

Edited to add: Today is my birthday; maybe Sec. Clinton plans to release them today as her birthday gift to me?

Could hurt in the general election, depending on the GOP nominee. I thought primary campaigns were about vetting?

to the service of America than risking a possible GOP presidency. Another endless fishing expedition by her enemies wouldn't be a good thing for confidence building.

Her release of the transcripts won't bring those who never trusted her into her camp so their is no upside.

going on when it comes to potentially sensitive information. She obviously feels, we don't need to know. I'm fine with that.

Gotta go run some errands now. I'll be gone for a few hours in the pacific time zone.

I check later. Until then, cheers.

Does that make you feel better?
Or, maybe you support the actions of our financial institutions over the past few decades. (Maybe Hillary does , as well)

Of coarse, the corporatists in power have failed at prosecuting crimes by the banksters. Do you think that is the way to go? It seems Hillary is fine with their actions, as she has made no real attempt to rein them in.

Not every citizen in America feels the way you do about our banking industry. However, I'm confident Hillary will put the brakes on any continued malfeasance.

Maybe those speeches were as warm and fuzzy about common people as her emails that are being reported in another thread (the thread which her supporters are orchestrating a plan to push into Greatest Threads).

Being revealed as personally compassionate and caring would plainly conflict with her hard-won official (Gets Things Done!) image as one who ships children into deadly situations to "send a message" to their parents.
