Complete Headline: Hillary reveals she earned $1.5million from just SIX speeches last year and $5million in book royalties while husband Bill's speeches raked in a whopping $5 million
[Snip]
Hillary Clinton's speeches to Wall Street interests between 2013 and 2015 spurred questions about her own lack of transparency, leading to repeated calls from her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, for transcripts of her talks to banks, investment houses and other financial interests.
[Snip]
In all, she made at least 94 appearances before corporate and other special interests between 2013 and 2015, earning more than $21.6 million for her services.

That’s $250,000 a speech.
Making speeches is WAY better than cattle futures....
Democratic Speaker Jim Wright, in May 1988, was alleged to have used a book deal to circumvent campaign-finance laws and House ethics rules. The charge that finally stuck involved a vanity book, Reflections of a Public Man, that Mr. Wright sold in bulk to lobbyists and supporters, under an unusual agreement for him to receive 55% of the royalties.
Herself had to get even more creative in developing her scam. Now it extends to speeches that are not only secret, but actively sought after by a number of foreign entities, as well as Wall Street executives.
In her case it is just another way to donate to her campaign. Maybe she should try cattle futures since she is such an expert in it.
You’re right. Hillary doesn’t know how to protect the men and women in our intelligence services - but she damn well knows how to ‘protect’ those Goldman speeches...
She’s so vile.
Bill's honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics. They co-opted taxpayers by using OUR govt and information they were privy to by virtue of govt office in order to pocket big bucks.
=================================================
Wall Street whistleblower Charles Ortel quoted a former managing director of Dillon, Read & Co thusly: "under New York law, tax authorities dont have to show criminal intent to get convictions against foundation officials."
THE MONEY QUOTE: Authorities need only show that the Clinton Foundation filed materially misleading financial information but kept on fundraising for a myriad of do-good projects.
=========================================
POSTER'S NOTE The legal culpability of a tax-free "charity" consists of:
<><> soliciting and taking money, and,
<><> showing how they spend it.
So if the Clinton Foundation raised money using the US mails and cited a specific "do-good cause" but used the donated money elsewhere, that is considered mail fraud.

Earlier, Ortel found irregularities of a sufficient magnitude that the Clinton Foundation should be shut down.
Ortel: if any of the 50 state attorneys general present the evidence to a federal district judge, an injunction would be ordered, shutting down the Clinton Foundation and placing the organization in receivership.
So then you gotta wonder what their perception is of making money. Do they even get that most people earn their pay through real work?
I think there are a LOT of Foundations that should be shut down.
It’s too bad Hillary insisted on trying to be President. She could have retired and they would have lived happily wealthy ever after.
But with Trump going after them all their illegalities and greed will be exposed.
After Trump is inaugurated he’s going to prosecute and she and maybe Bill too will end up in jail.
It’s worse than you think, much worse.
Alger Hiss was President of the Carnegie Foundation until he was arrested.
The House of Representatives in 1953 held the Reece Commission on Tax-Exempt Foundations.
Tax-Exempt Carnegie Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Guggenheim Fellowship, etc were found to have been trying (and are succeeding) since 1909 to make America into a collectivist society that can one day be merged with Russia (the exact words of Carnegie Foundation President Johnson in 1953 (whom succeeded Alger Hiss)). The words “can be merged with Russia” were the orders given to the President of the Carnegie Foundation, but really, I think what they meant was one-world government, with Russia just being the other superpower at the time.
The lead investigator was Norman Dodd and the above was related to him upon meeting with the trustees of the Carnegie Foundation. He received permission to have an investigator (Karthryn Casey) to look through the trustee minutes for two weeks. What she found was that in the first meeting (1909) the trustees asked, “What is the best way to alter the life of people in a society?” The answer that came back was through war. They then tried to get us into a war and finally succeeded with WW1. Once in it, they sent a message to the President saying that they didn’t want the war to end too quickly.
In 1914 they decided to take over the way education was taught and assigned the Rockefeller Foundation with domestic history and retained control of international history. The Carnegie Foundation gathered a group of PhD candidates in history at Oxford and with help from the Gugenheim Fellowship changed the history was taught.
As with most investigations, the minority side (in this case the Republicans) threw a fit and the committee disbanded with most members too shocked to really do anything. Another member tried to restart it the following year or two, but he mysteriously died.

It is apparently good work if you can get it...
I think you would have to grab Bill and Hillary by the ankles and shake them upside down to get all the money they have earned from these junkets. And I’m sure this doesn’t include what “Madam Secretary” shook other countries down for in return for special trade and foreign aid deals when she was in Obozo’s Cabinet. It might even surprise Obozo.
Book deals for politicians is how they launder money. The books get purchased in bulk by lobbyists, etc. Speeches like that are payola also.
I think all Tax Free Foundations should be shut down. Name one that isn't New World Order shills or Anti American Socialist.
After Trump is inaugurated he'll lose his bravado and adhere to the American tradition of not prosecuting the previous administration for any criminal activity. Therefore, the Clinton Mob will skate, all in the interest of appearances and desire not to embarrass anyone...........
Did Soros buy $5MM worth of copies of her book, I can’t see anyone wanting to read that sickening propaganda.
That is also a list of organizations that have some of the largest lobbying efforts and expendatures in DC.
It’s all influence buying, plain and simple
