Politico: Warren won't say whether Clinton should release Goldman Sachs transcripts

[kennetha]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren declined multiple opportunities on Thursday to say whether Hillary Clinton should release the transcripts of her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions.

The Massachusetts Democrat and progressive icon, who has not publicly endorsed Clinton or Bernie Sanders, was pressed on the issue during an interview with "CBS This Morning."

“Look, I think that our candidates are out doing what they should be doing in a primary. They are debating the issues," said Warren, whose outspokenness against Wall Street has fueled and defined her career both in and out of Congress.

1. Warren knows those speeches mean about as much as mudballs to Democrats

It should be obvious by now that no one except Bernie and a few of his followers care about that shit.

[Logical]

2. LOL, what is obvious is that Hill is scared shitless to release them. It would expose her. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

19. Only the Democrats who've drunk the Third Way, center-right kool-aid.

There are actually principled, liberal Democrats left. Shocking for some, I realize...

[Segami]

27. More parroting...

[vintx]

3. Telling that she wouldn't just answer 'no'.

It's a simple question. Her stubborn refusal to answer speaks volumes.

[book_worm]

6. but then again she is not endorsing Bernie either

so she must have some reason for that, too.

[vintx]

8. Have you ever worked in the party? Ever been the recipient of arm-twisting?

It isn't pleasant, even on the lowest levels.

I imagine at Sen Warren's level, it's exponentially worse.

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. Agreed.

And we're talking the Clintons, here...

[Jitter65]

25. She didn't say 'yes' either. nt

[giftedgirl77]

28. Maybe she's afraid she'll get harassed online again?

[PoliticAverse]

34. Perhaps she just doesn't want to find herself moved from the Senate Banking committee to the...

Post Office naming committee in 2017.

[NWCorona]

4. If Warren is restraining from endorsing a candidate

She will surely stay out of this transcript mess.

Note that she doesn't give a definitive answer. To me that's very telling.

[AtomicKitten]

5. That's not something she should be asked. It defies her intention to remain neutral.

[NWCorona]

7. Exactly

[woolldog]

9. Warren is smart and cares about a Dem winning in November

Good for her. At this point, since HRC has the nomination wrapped up, who cares what's in those speeches.

[kennetha]

10. Certain Bernie supporters, probably, who can't let go.

[PoliticAverse]

12. Apparently Clinton cares which is why she doesn't take the easy way to make the issue go away

for good.

[Jefferson23]

24. Amazing. n/t

[JackRiddler]

31. You will care when they come out.

And they will. You can bank on that.

[NurseJackie]

11. Because she's smarter than those demanding the release!

[BainsBane]

13. I predicted that line of attack would go nowhere

It's the kind of thing people simply don't give a shit about. The ones who care were already voting against Clinton and just looking for a mode of attack.

[ladjf]

14. Senator "windsock" has chosen not to speak yet, still waiting for the wind to get steady. nt

[DJ13]

15. She's been so muted in this campaign I'm starting to think the rumors that.....

........the Clintons have some dirt on her may be true.

Its obvious her agenda would best be served by Bernie winning, Clinton will just impede the market regulations she's been pushing the last 2 years.

[Hoyt]

18. Maybe she respects Sanders position on many issues, but knows he would not be an effective candidate

or President.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. It's very revealing that Hillary's supporters think that releasing the transcripts would "damage"

her campaign".

How would releasing them "damage" her campaign? Does she not trust the people to make up their own minds about her performances for Wall Street big shots?

[DJ13]

20. In complete agreement

[Lizzie Poppet]

21. This late in the game, any transcripts released would be about as reliable as a 70's Fiat.

There's been way, way too much time to create "scrubbed" versions, and if video or other plausible non-Hillary evidence of the content of those speeches was going to surface, it would have done so by now. This is a dead issue.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. I had a 70s Fiat and completely agree with your assessment.

At least about the Fiat. But, as to Hillary's ability to CYA, she needs new and more creative writers to handle her misspeaks, mistakes, and all too well known mendacity.

[PoliticAverse]

33. Good point about "transcripts". Romney's 47% comment woldn't have had anywhere near the impact...

if it was just what someone said he said.

[Jefferson23]

23. Have any of the Democrats in congress said Hillary should release them? I doubt it. This was

brought up initially by a voter at a town hall meeting. Too bad enough her supporters give Hillary a
pass on it...they should be demanding she release them as well.

[Politicalboi]

26. WOW

I wonder how much the Queen promised her. So much for Warren. Disgusting.

[Mike Nelson]

29. I hope Hillary...

...never releases her transcripts. Dumbest "issue" ever... Everyone knows she said nice things about her host payers. People are not that stupid. This "issue" does nothing to expand Bernie's support and he should spend his time more wisely.

[cynatnite]

32. In complete agreement. n/t

[EndElectoral]

30. Clinton can never use the word transparency again.
