Yesterday was a big day in the world of political speeches. My colleagues here at Crooks and Liars started our day early and got ready to cover the day's events.
Rep. John Conyers opened the House Committee meeting with Attorney General Lynch with remarks about the job Congress should be doing and is not doing.
As is our habit, we waited until a transcript was released in order to cover his words accurately. Here's the transcript.
Shortly thereafter, Bernie Sanders gave a speech endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.
Again, the staff here made sure we quoted from a published transcript. Here's a copy of his prepared remarks, directly from his own campaign website.
And finally, The President in Dallas. These are the easiest to find. Bookmark Whitehouse.gov.
As I said, the staff here is very careful to make sure than when we quote a speech, we refer and link to the published and prepared remarks, and we much prefer to use a link that comes directly from the speaker his or her self. That is the most accurate source.
And the other really important point: If you follow along with these speeches, most politicians go off script a little, but not too much.
