Dogged by accusations that she is too close to financial firms because of the speeches she gave to them for large honorariums, Hillary Clinton has said she will release the transcripts of those speeches on one condition: that her opponents do the same.

Clinton’s argument is that to require she disclose those transcripts unilaterally would be to hold her campaign to a different standard than the others. If Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and the Republican candidates release the transcripts of their speeches, then she will, too.

Sanders, for example, has noted that he hasn’t given speeches to financial firms. He can’t as a senator. And now, Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign says that he has no transcripts to make public.

“There is nothing to release,” said Kasich’s spokesman Rob Nichols. “We don’t have anything.”

But Kasich spoke off the cuff at a lot of these, according to Nichols. And he didn’t have a person with him to transcribe the remarks, though some of them made their way on to the Internet.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R) presidential campaign did not return a request for comment for this piece. But he would not have given paid speeches during his time in the Senate, and it is unlikely he gave them during his time in the Bush administration as a policy adviser or as Texas’ solicitor general.
