DIANE SAWYER, ABC NEWS: It's been reported you've made $5 million making speeches, the president's made more than $100 million.
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, if you -- you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education, you know, it was not easy. Bill has worked really hard .... we had to pay off all our debts which was, you know, we had to make double the money because of obviously taxes....and get us houses and take care of family members.
SAWYER: ...do you think Americans will understand five times the median income for one speech?
CLINTON: ....I thought making speeches was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do.

That's because you had to pay for your husband's legal fees, fines, and settlements.
Depends on what the definition of “dead broke” is.
‘twould be interesting to know how much he got from the PRC.
This woman does not look well, she is bloated and her complexion is jaundice and waxy. Never a good speaker, she is too rehearsed in he conversations and response’s...something is very wrong.
I remember the uproar that occurred when it was discovered that Terry McAuliffe was "loaning" them the money for the down payment. They squashed the deal, and found the money somewhere else. They probably shook down Hillary's mother who got stuck living there with pervert Bill.
And at 5:00 pm every day monkeys fly out my @$$
Is this a joke?
Don’t forget they charged the Secret Service rent for the guest house.
She should just as well have stayed at the new home in New York and made 4 or 5 calls per year in cattle trading. She could have studied a chart or two and learned to trade in other commodities. She would not have had to travel all over making speeches.
Ha!! Right... Billy Boy should have ‘sold’ more pardons!
You mean there are 2 sets of books? :)
Excellent point-—her syntax is usually flawless......a huge clue that her brain was struggling to get out all the lies.
The clintons are like the union general Butler... whom all of conquered New Orleans nicknamed “Spoons”. He was known for coming to supper and stealing families silver, one meal at a time. A vile little prominent example of Reconstruction vengence.
Hillary “Spoons” Clinton.
We must remember how skilled these dirtbags are twisting words.
It may have been technically true because they had no money in their pockets at the exact moment they walked out. Never mind the millions (billions) in the bank and overseas accounts provided by the Chicoms.
We have to look at all permutations of how any statement they make can be twisted and then figure in the blatant lie factor to find out what the real truth is.
No problem, right? s/
Somehow, somebody helped them buy that house, or get the mortgage, if they really didn’t have any money.

I believe the ‘ORIGINAL’ money in the deal came from one Terry McAuliffe, who financed and ‘loaned’ them the money.
They got ‘caught’ and he supposedly withdrew his money and support.
These clowns ain’t bad for a crew that moved into the WH with all their personal belongings in a 12’ UHAUL Box Truck and it took several moving vans to move them out.
And that was AFTER they had to be reminded (again and again) that ‘gifts’ were not theirs once they left the WH, they were the ‘property’ (YEAH RIGHT) of the people.
That has probably changed since ‘THEY’ get to write and amend the ‘rules’.
Oh for the ‘likes’ of HST again...
.FLY? you aren’t flying me home, Bess and I will take the train.
.Retirement? you mean I get a retirement for serving MY country?(Though he did have a ‘modest’ ret from US Army Service?)
.Job? You don’t want Harry Truman for this directorship, you want the ‘Ex President of the US’ and SIR, neither I nor that office are for sale.
.Protection? I don’t want ‘people’ following me around.
Let us not forget the moving vans full of furniture they had to return once exposed after they left, by the GSA lists.
Or how the clinton team took all of the “w” keys off computers in the white house becaucse “W” was coming in.
The simple fact is, that BOTH clintoonians are first class venture socialist grifters. Criminal political class on a level with the Borgias.
