New York Times calls on Hillary Clinton to release speech transcripts

The ad, which will air on CNN and MSNBC through Super Tuesday and was made by the group Future45, is the most recent attempt by Republicans to force Clinton to release transcripts of her paid speeches.

The problem inherent in that point is that everyone else doesn’t do it. No one else in this race has earned millions of dollars from speeches to Wall Street banks and investment firms. That former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is barely ahead of Vermont Sen. “I don’t do that”, he said to host Chris Cuomo. Similarly, Clinton has claimed to not be supportive of GMOs, but another video of a paid speech clearly shows that to be untrue as well. Clinton said earlier this month that she would “look into” releasing the speeches.

“But Hillary won’t tell us what she said to those banks, who paid her over $1 million and are contributing millions more to elect her. So before you promise your vote to Hillary, don’t you deserve to know what she promised them?”

The hazards of Mrs. Clinton, a presidential hopeful, earning more than $200,000 each for dozens of speeches to industry groups were clear from the start.

Meanwhile, a conservative super PAC linked to a number of top Republican donors will begin airing an ad on Saturday that attacks Clinton for refusing to release the transcript of those speeches, according to CNN. If it were not for her prodigious lead among the so-called “superdelegates” to the Democratic National Convention the former first lady’s campaign would be in real trouble. Mrs. Clinton was making paid speeches when she hired consultants to vet her own background in preparation for a run.

Hillary’s Hollow Pledge to Release Transcripts… Her only opponent right now is saying, release the transcripts. While news reports have circulated in the past regarding Donald Trump giving paid speech, a search of newsites on Google reveals that he doesn’t appear to have given any in at least 12 years.

On Friday, she said President Barack Obama’s fundraising from Wall Street had not prevented him from enacting Dodd-Frank financial services reforms after the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

It is unlikely that Hillary Clinton will ever agree to release the transcripts of her speeches.

“I do not receive many millions of dollars from Wall Street or the pharmaceutical industry or other powerful, wealthy interests in this country, and have not given speeches for hundreds of thousands of dollars to Wall Street”, Sanders told a Chicago rally on Thursday, the Washington Post reported. However, it is not implausible that the Republicans would potentially get their hands on them, saving them to use against her if she wins the nomination.
