Hillary Clinton’s Lucrative Goldman Sachs Speaking Gigs
National Review Online ^ | October 30, 2013 | Alec Torres

Posted on 10/31/2013 7:45:51 AM PDT by Leaning Right

Hillary Clinton spoke at two separate Goldman Sachs events on the evenings of Thursday, October 24 and Tuesday, October 29. As both Politico and the New York Times report, Clinton’s fee is about $200,000 per speech, meaning she likely netted around $400,000 for her paid gigs at Goldman over the course of six days.

When is a bribe not a bribe? When it's a speaking fee.

Remember, Sarah Palin is a money-grubber for giving a few speeches and writing a couple of books while out of office.

Hillary? Oh, let’s not bother to look at that.

In the real world it’s called a bribe.

I'm guessing that the participants had to be pretty drunk.

But there's one thing I'm sure of. If Hillary becomes the next president, there will be no investigations into any Goldman Sachs financial crimes.

And Goldman Sachs executives will be appointed to high positions in the Treasury Department. And regulations will be written to favor the huge banks at the expense of the smaller banks.

Goldman’s Lloyd Blankfein Says He Learned ‘Lessons’ from Occupy Wall Street

by David Freedlander Sep 25, 2013

At the Clinton Global Initiative on Wednesday, the Goldman Sachs CEO commented on the anniversary of Occupy Wall Street and rebutted his predecessor’s criticisms of executive bonuses after the crash.

Bill Clinton recently had dinner with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein

March 8, 2011

The partnership, which will be announced Tuesday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Goldman’s chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, augments an existing program run by Goldman’s charitable arm that has so far educated more than 3,500 women in more than 20 countries, including Afghanistan, Rwanda and China.

In line with Clinton’s vow to make international women’s rights a signature issue under her watch, the State Department’s involvement will expand Goldman’s program, known as 10,000 Women, into more countries. The State Department already collaborates with the initiative in Pakistan.

The press had a spittle flecked purple faced fit when a retired Ronald Reagan made a million for a week of lectures in Japan back in '89.

Hillary, the likely democrat candidate in '16, not a whimper of protest.

I'm surprised that people don't pay her $200,000 so that she DOESN'T give a speech!

She’s gathering as much money as she can just in case she has to bail her upcoming campaign out like she did the last time.

Somehow, I feel confident that the “Clinton Initiative” will be billing Goldman $400k for the Hitlery speeches, so that she will not have to pay taxes on the income - she and Bubba will skim it off the top of the tax free foundation!

Why, all the leftist "special" people like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Alec Baldwin, Chris Hayes, Chris Matthews, Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, and Joe Scarborough are just dying to hear Hillary Bin Ghazi spew her leftist lies.

It will be a left-wing, "leg-tingling", lollapalozza!

You don’t get to the Oval Office unless you’re nicely tucked away in Goldman Sachs’ back pocket.

She was sought after to explain to Goldman’s traders the method she used to turn $1,000 into $100,000 TRADING CATTLE FUTURES. Really, this should be investigated for what it really is an Illegal Campaign contribution.

Didn’t Goldman Sachs get a taxpayer bailout?
