AS THECANDIDATE FOR POTUS FOR 2016 HILLARY CLINTON GETS CLOSER TO ITS NOMINATION AND EVENTUAL DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADER OF WHAT LOOKS TO A SUCESSION OF CORRUPTION THAT WOULD FOLLOW THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO OUT OF OFFICE IS READY TO PUT EVERY STONEWALL ROAD BLOCK COVER UP AND MIS-DIRECTION THAT PREVENT THE TRUTH OF THIS TIME HER WALLSTREET CONNECTION FROM EVER COMING OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is doubling down on a strategy of not releasing transcripts of speeches she gave to Goldman Sachs and other investment banks.
Clinton has refused to release any of the transcripts in the face of a pressure campaign from rival candidate Bernie Sanders, who has relentlessly attacked the Democratic front-runner as being too closely tied to Wall Street.

“She’s not going to basically create a standard that isn’t applied to anyone else in this race,” said one longtime Clinton ally and confidante of her position on releasing the transcripts.The issue has been an effective line of attack from Sanders, who has closed the gap with Clinton in national polls.
It also appears to have hurt Clinton, who has seen her favorability rating in polls drop below 50 percent. Just as bad, Clinton has seen her marks fall with Americans when they are asked whether they trust her or see her as honest.
At the same time, Sanders is now coming under growing pressure to pull back on his attacks after Clinton’s big win in New York’s primary. Clinton defeated Sanders in her adopted home state by more than 15 percentage points, a victory that underlined her status as the Democratic front-runner.
Sanders has vowed to fight on but will hear criticism from his colleagues in the Senate if he continually demands that Clinton release the transcripts.
Clinton allies maintain that the issue around releasing the transcripts backfired on Sanders in New York. They also think Wall Street in general and the transcripts in particular won't be as effective an argument in the general election.
For one thing, Republicans as a party are seen as close to the financial industry. Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, worked as a venture capitalist and was badly hurt by a remark, recorded surreptitiously, that 47 percent of Americans would not vote for him because they were dependant on government handouts.
