Hey, if she can get them to pay it, far be it from me to argue that anyone should stop it from happening. Supply and demand, baby. Its the same reason I have no problem with ballplayers making more money than some guy working to cure cancer - because when private parties freely enter into an agreement, God bless them. And they are, as the Washington Post reports: In the six months since stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton has addressed apartment-complex developers in Dallas, private-equity managers in Los Angeles and business executives in Grand Rapids, Mich.

I was going to post they were crazy for paying that to someone who had never successfully ran a business or enacted or proposed anything that would help business. But as you point out her and her so-called husband have become very wealthy in just twenty years or so. Obviously they have some money making knowledge to impart.
No one would ever pay the Clintons for knowledge or anything they say. They are paying to get access to taxpayer dollars if Clintons return to power and for Clintons to look the other way and let them break the rules. Enron practiced fraud for years under the Clinton's and nothing happened. Only when Bush came into power did Enron collapse. They are also paying for protection. If the Clintons come into power they don't want to get targeted.
It is a bribe and extortion.
A fool and his money are soon parted, and anyone willing to pay $200K to hear this cow speak is insane. Of course maybe it’s just a money laundering scheme.
