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.

The ‘answers’ don’t surprise me.
What surprises me is the Diane Sawyer not only asked the questions, she wouldn’t let go and followed up on them.
Of course, HRC probably wanted to ‘bring this charge to light’ and figured whatever she said, the idiots (us) would buy.

Plus the skeptical look on Diane's face was priceless.
Wonder if (gag) “the studious defender of law” AG Holder is looking into the Clinton’s non-profit?
Maybe Lois Lerner could be called back into service?
she took the white house silver?
Yes, among other things...
So THAT’S why they stole the silverware.
LoL
In that picture, she looks like a fatter version of “Mini-me.”
Oh Cry me a river you lying old hag.
Johnny Chung and the Klintons all know where the secret Chinese money is deposited.
Of course they are broke....grifters are always broke....
Next we will hear how she was a poor black child in Arkansas....
The klintoon family is a criminal operation. Their worthless daughter fits right in. They all should be exiled and their assets seized for their many, many (and ongoing) crimes.

Hillary and Bill Clinton got rich quick after leaving the White House, pulling in $111 million in total income from 2000 through last year, according to tax documents posted Friday evening on her presidential campaigns website.
From the combined $358,000 they reported in 2000 to the $16 million they earned in 2001, their income increased by nearly 50 times in the first year after Bill Clinton left office, highlighting the lucrative opportunities awaiting former presidents.
The speaking circuit was especially good to Bill Clinton, who earned nearly $52 million from it, including millions in foreign income. And the two books each penned yielded more than $40 million, including an eye-popping $15 million advance paid to Bill Clinton for his 2004 autobiography, My Life. Thats $3 million more than what had been previously reported which at the time was believed to be the largest book advance ever.
Hillary Clintons two books the autobiography Living History and It Takes a Village yielded $10.5 million. She paid $893,000 in collaboration fees and expenses (for assistance in researching and writing her autobiography), as well as $5,000 for a Lexis/Nexis subscription and Internet access.
When you add the book hauls to the more than $1 million she received in salary since taking office in 2001 as a senator from New York, its clear she had more than enough money to loan $5 million to her cash-strapped presidential campaign in the run-up to the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday contests.
The documents were eagerly anticipated by reporters, opposition researchers and gadflies of all stripes in part because it was unclear where she got the coin to back her February claim that the loan came from my money. Thats where I got the money.
The 221 pages of documents released Friday actually 220 pages of tax returns for 2000 through 2006, plus a one-page summary of the couples 2007 taxes came after weeks of pressure from opponents, who have long accused the Clintons of having a penchant for secrecy

NOBODY had to ‘help’ them buy a house!
$400k X 8 years = $3,200,000., Three MILLIION bucks.
During that time, they had ALL of their expenses paid for them by... oh yeah, YOU and ME.
This is ASSUMING they’re not LYING; that they were broke prior to this.
Please... GOVERNOR of a state, BROKE??? Come on now...
The clintoons have NEVER been broke since we’ve been hearing about them.
I can’t believe there are ANY Americans who don’t understand that the clintons lie -WHENEVER they speak. Hillary especially. She’s addicted to lying.
This is 100% B.S.
“I never had a nickel to my name until I got out of the White House, and now I’m a millionaire, the most favored person for the Washington Republicans,” Clinton told a friendly audience in Kentucky last fall. “I get a tax cut every year, no matter what our needs are.”
Indeed, the Clintons — who left the White House with an estimated $12 million in legal debts rung up during the Whitewater, campaign fundraising and Monica S. Lewinsky investigations — are worth an estimated $10 million to $50 million, according to Hillary Clinton’s most recent disclosure form. That is attributable primarily to the speaking fees and to the seven-figure book deals that both Clintons signed shortly after leaving the White House.
The fortune they have amassed gives the Clintons a nest egg for the first time, and it allows them to tap into that wealth for a campaign if Hillary Clinton, as expected, forgoes public financing in her race for president. It also suggests a sometimes close connection between their personal finances and her political career.
Many of Bill Clinton’s six-figure speeches have been made to companies whose employees and political action committees have been among Hillary Clinton’s top backers in her Senate campaigns. The New York investment giant Goldman Sachs paid him $650,000 for four speeches in recent years. Its employees and PAC have given her $270,000 since 2000 — putting it second on the list of her most generous political patrons.
The banking firm Citigroup, whose employees and PAC have been Hillary Clinton’s top source of campaign donations, with more than $320,000, paid her husband $250,000 for a speech in France in 2004. Last year, it committed $5.5 million for Clinton’s Global Initiative to help encourage entrepreneurship and financial education among the poor.

I probably would have ‘enjoyed’ that.
I am NOT a fan of Sawyer, Hillary etc so not much of my ‘invaluable’ time is wasted watching them.
Lest one accuse me of not ‘liking’ females etc, I have the same feeling for most (if not all) the TV ‘Sunday shows’ and most anything from CNN, MSNBC and their ilk - FOX is making that list rather quickly.
And now they’re a couple of the richest people in the world. They’re geniuses!
