Did I hear that Hillary is going to release the transcripts of Wall street speeches?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/seth-abramson/release-of-clintons-wall-street-speeches_b_9698632.html

1. Former Nebraska Governor and Senator Bob Kerrey (Clinton surrogate)

“Making the transcripts of the Goldman speeches public would have been devastating....[and] when the GOP gets done telling the Clinton Global Initiative fund-raising and expense story, Bernie supporters will wonder why he didn’t do the same....[As for] the email story, it’s not about emails. It is about [Hillary] wanting to avoid the reach of citizens using the Freedom of Information Act to find out what their government is doing, and then not telling the truth about why she did.”

2. Goldman Sachs Employee #1 (present at one of the speeches)

“[The speech] was pretty glowing about [Goldman Sachs]. It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a ‘rah-rah’ speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

if so according to this article not good for her,

Bernie gives a speech and releases the transcript, or hell freezes over, or something like that...

Whoa, and this was in the New York Times - why in hell would he say that stuff on the record? (not that I mind and not that there's anything wrong with it) She is either ASHAMED or AFRAID of what's in those speeches - and I don't think she's capable of feeling shame.

After Bernie showed that going after wall Street polled high, Hillary determined it would be a good idea to say she was always strong on wall street and always told the investment banks to 'cut it out'. But, as indicated by the Goldman Sachs banker above, she praised the bank in her speeches. So she is dragging her feet on releasing them.

What is utterly frightening is that Cruz's wife is on sabbatical from GS, she could easily get a transcript from the speeches and release them if Cruz gets the nomination. In that scenario, Clinton could lose to Cruz...
