Which Reporter Has Copies of Hillary Clinton’s Secret Goldman Sachs Speeches?

In defiance of her supporters’ wishes, her critics’ open calls, and even her own promises, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton continues to block the publication of transcripts from the speeches she gave to several banks, including Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, in 2013 and 2014. According to MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski, however, Clinton may no longer have much of a choice.

As the Nevada caucuses were wrapping up on Saturday, Brzezinski mentioned off-handedly that she “[knew] a print reporter who has the actual transcripts, and they are working on this.” As you can see in the clip above, her on-air comment came in response to Bloomberg host and MSNBC guest John Heilemann’s argument that the lack of publicly-available transcripts encouraged reporters to seek out and record the recollections of bank employees who had attended the speeches—an imperfect process which has not been particularly flattering to Clinton. One attendee told Politico, for example, that the candidate “sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director” that a former Secretary of State.

Has there been a right wing line of bullshit about Hillary that the Sanders camp hasn't swallowed, hook, line and sinker?

As evidenced by your wording "which reporter ".

If Mika said Hillary ate a puppy, would you question if it was true, or ask " what breed"?

I'm willing to bet they are waiting for the right moment. It's just that they aren't on Bernie or his supporter's time table.

They want to face Bernie so bad. DU said so. So if they have them why wouldn't they release now?

When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further
