Hillary's transcripts are of utmost importance to DEMOCRATIC VOTERS in general and Bernie supporters in particular. I can't imagine what could be in them that jeopardizes her in the GE. It may make Dems mad, but they're going to vote for her anyway. Independents and GOPers won't care at all.

As stated before - nominated, then either indicted or pardoned, is the thing that would sink Hillary and the entire Democratic Party in 2016. FBI recommendation for indictment and then a brush-off by Obama would sink Hillary, the Dems and Obama's legacy all at the same time.

Not leaked speech transcripts.

If she's the nominee, there's no unifying the party and definitely no bringing in the independents.

She needs to release them!!! Her whole "I'll release them when Republicans do" add to the sentiment that people find her untrustworthy.

It's ALWAYS the fault of the left with the party establishment crowd.
