It's a little doughy. Just spit-balling here.

not while in office!!!

His supporters love pretending he's FDR.

Here's what I say, "So you want her to hand you her intellectual property free of charge? Sorry, you'll have to wait for the book when she retires."

When you do creative work for hire, the person who hired you assumes the copyright - and Bernie knows this, because he's sold creative work before.

#ReleaseTheReturns Bernie!

... that she had the rights to the transcripts. I've Googled and can't find anything to verify either idea. I am sure that we can't just assume that she was doing "creative work for someone else."
