There's absolutely nothing of importance in the transcripts ... but if she releases them then you conservatives might interpret them the wrong way and somehow use them against her!

Hillary Clinton had a chance to put to rest swirling questions about her paid speeches to groups such as Goldman Sachs during last week's final debate before Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire. She pointedly refused to take it.
[Snip]
But why did Clinton respond that way?
There's the possibility - though I think it's very remote - that Clinton simply wasn't expecting the question and didn't want to commit to anything in the moment.
[Snip]
Why not release them, then? ...
My guess is that in the speeches, Clinton acknowledges her various friends and acquaintances at Goldman Sachs (and other Wall Street firms) and praises them for the work they are doing. "You guys get a bad rap but ..."
Yes, it's standard-issue small talk. But it could look really, really bad in the context of the campaign. Imagine a transcript of Clinton speaking to some big bank or investment firm, thanking a litany of people she's "been friends with forever" and praising the broader enterprise for "all you do."

The fact that there’s nothing in them, and that she was paid millions to give them is precisely the fact of interest. Selling access.
What would be the media/DemoncRAT/GOP-e response if Trump or Cruz refused to release the transcripts of speeches for which they were paid beaucoup bucks?
THE CLINTONS GO WAY BACK w/ GOLDMAN SACHS--- When Bill Clinton was president, Rahm Emanuel was Bill/s top WH aide AND a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs...at the same time.
YOO HOO BERNIE, THIS IS FOR YOU During one of her $675,000 speeches to Goldman Sachs, Clinton reportedly reassured the G/S crowd......told them that banker-bashing was unproductive and foolish, according to a Politico report based on accounts offered by several attendees.
Watch the video: https://vimeo.com/152786370
Bills honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
================================================
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.
They co-opted taxpayers by using OUR govt and information they were privy to by virtue of govt office in order to pocket big bucks.
$600,000 for a dull speech. The implications are obvious.
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein worships Hillary at a Clinton Foundation event.
Exactly!
Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine on the Capitol steps.
EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.
EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.
Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Wall Street Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton." The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.
===========================================
EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank.
LAUGH BREAK Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him.
================================================
There's a saying in Congress---"One hand washes the other. You vote for my bill; I vote for your bill." Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank Corzine's "blind trust" owned? And what other Wall Street deals did Corzine make w/ Hillary to enrich himself...and her?
"Bernie, I insist you go first."
ROTFLMAO.
VACUOUS!
Nuff said. He has his nose buried up to the transverse colon and breathes through his ears
There is no transcript. There is not speech. These are bribes.
I disagree. She probably explained the secret algorithms she used to trade futures.
Unimportant and unremarkable and normally worth about a dollar per speech or a negative amount as for most venues she would need to offer large sums to be allowed to speak, unless there are other considerations, like the assurance of government favors.
Maybe she passed out on stage from a blown Depends. Something stinks!
But she wants the Above Top Secret emails released immediately.
We’re there any real speaches or just a way for $$$$$$$ to change hands lawfully?
I don’t know but apparently Hillary feels that the contents of her speeches would hurt her. The contents of her top secret emails would only hurt the nation. Her priorities are clear.
