Together, Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have earned in excess of $125 million in speech income since leaving the White House in 2001, one-fifth of it in the last two years.

Mrs. Clinton's own speechmaking was a veritable tour through high finance. She gave paid speeches at GTCR, the Chicago private equity firm that the Republican governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, helped found; Deutsche Bank, the German financial services conglomerate; and the investment bank Morgan Stanley, among other companies.

Goldman Sachs alone paid Mrs. Clinton $675,000 for three speeches in three different states, a fact Mr. Sanders has highlighted repeatedly.

"Goldman Sachs also provides very, very generous speaking fees to some unnamed candidates," he told voters at a winery in Carroll, Iowa, on Tuesday.

I still wonder where the Bern invests his loot. In some other country?

At least he brought up this issue even though he has given her a pass on the emails.

Please VOTE in the Free Republic Caucus 01/24/2016.

Thank you.

The fact that she’s a numbingly boring speaker, both in terms of content and delivery, makes it clear that the quality of her speeches isn’t what these companies were paying for.

For a Socialist/Communist, Class Warfare is everything.

Treason? That's a resume enhancer for a Socialist/Communist!

Odd how Hillary's so boring on the stump she can't get 200 people to show up to hear her 'speech' - and it's FREE.. It's a mystery all right...

Bernie Sanders has raised concerns over the $675,000 Hillary pocketed from Goldman Sachs..... an investment bank that has regularly used its influence with government officials to win favorable policies.

THE CLINTONS GO WAY BACK w/ GOLDMAN SACHS--- When Bill Clinton was president, Rahm Emanuel was Bill/s top WH aide AND a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs...at the same time.

YOO HOO BERNIE, THIS IS FOR YOU During one of her $675,000 speeches to Goldman Sachs, Clinton reportedly reassured the G/S crowd......told them that banker-bashing was unproductive and foolish, according to a Politico report based on accounts offered by several attendees.

Hillary and Goldman Sachs have been BFF.

Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine on the Capitol steps.

EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.

EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.

Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Wall Street Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton." The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.

===========================================

EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank.

LAUGH BREAK Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him.

================================================

There's a saying in Congress---"One hand washes the other. You vote for my bill; I vote for your bill." Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank Corzine's "blind trust" owned? And what other Wall Street deals did Corzine make w/ Hillary to enrich himself...and her?

"Bernie, I insist you go first."

ROTFLMAO.
