Bill Clinton has been paid $104.9 million for 542 speeches around the world between January 2001, when he left the White House, and January 2013, when Hillary stepped down as secretary of state, according to a Washington Post review of the family’s federal financial disclosures.

Although slightly more than half of his appearances were in the United States, the majority of his speaking income, $56.3 million, came from foreign speeches, many of them in China, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom, the Post review found.

Would you rather listen to a Bill Clinton speech or go to a Luke Bryan concert, or how about a Rolling Stones concert? Or how about Garth Brooks? I mean, these people think the entire country is not going to see through this? This is money laundering pure and simple. How can this guy justify a speech for $500K?

Scammers and grifters.

Wait until Barack Obama hits the speech-fee-for-influence circuit.
He will make the Clintons look like small time Arkansas chicken farmers.

Obama has every federal bureaucracy loaded up with "his" people who will still be there when he is out peddling influence.

He will be selling everything that he hasn't already given away.

Obama will be the first BILLIONAIRE POTUS.

The Techie billionaires alone will see to it. Soros will chip in too.

Let’s see. He and Hillary should receive Social Security, they should have an IRA or two, Bill receives money each year for being President, and they should receive some government retirement shouldn’t they. They have a house payment, have to eat, probably receive medical paid for by us. Security is paid for by us, and they would have water, sewer and property tax to pay. What are the bills that they cannot cover? Would it be the Internet bill???

All liberals are elite classless opportunists.

They know nothing of the concept of shame.

How much did Bubba get from all the financial aid to Haiti, where he was the special UN ambassador? Hundreds of millions most likely.

This is where the investigation needs to focus upon, not on speeches.

The sheer boldness of this graft is remarkable.
Clinton worked 45 days per year for 12 years. 100 five day weeks in TWELVE years. He made $9mm a year for 12 straight years doing that. He got paid $194,000 per day worked. since he was the first black president he needs to go splain how to do that to all the whiners in Balto, Ferguson and Detroit.
