Bernie Sanders .. if you get paid a couple hundred thousand dollars for a speech, it must be a great speech. I think we should release it and let the American people see what that transcript was."
Of course Hillary Clinton is not only refusing to release the transcripts, while claiming to be the most transparent modern politician, but her arrangement for those speeches required video to be pulled once the campaign began.

I would rather listen to a recording of an alley full of fighting cats than Hillary making any speech. So this was pure graft.
but if there was pay equity, she would have gotten $400,000 per speech.

"I have a schlong and mine isn't curved. chelsea was adopted but her bio parents aren't available for comment."
Good catch.
Greasing the skids for favors. Like the enemies of this country have done with the classified information she sold them on her emails.
It’s a bribe disguised as a speech
No need to Snopes this .Channel 12 in Beaumont Texas did the reporting - Story appears on Beaumont TV station Channel 12. According to the Beaumont newspaper and reports from a couple of Beaumont TV stations this really happened.
Why did Hillary REALLY visit Beaumont, Texas - Got to read this!!
Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop yesterday in Beaumont, Texas. Only six people were there to greet her. Her security detail outnumbered her supporters by quite a bit. She wouldnt talk, wave to or even acknowledge those there to greet her. As bad as that is, its not the real story here. The real story is who she took a private meeting with. After landing, Clinton headed off to a fundraiser in West Beaumont, where she was greeted by around 150-200 Muslims, most of whom were of Pakistani origin. The event was held by Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed and Hillary raised approximately $500,000 by pandering to Muslims, making it one of the top five private fundraiser's Clinton has had in this country. Shes bought and paid for by them. Spread this far and wide. You will not see it on national news but this is what is going on. Sheila Jackson Lee was there as well.
(link) underlining is mine
On this morning’s Chris Plante Show on WMAL, he said that he had heard that reporters have the Goldman Sachs speech transcripts, but are sitting on them, much like the LA Times is sitting on a fundraising speech she gave.
Is the rumor true that in the UAE they would pay people to hear her ‘speeches’... and that sometimes she would speak to a room with only 12 people in it?
Folks in the ME - who live in cultures based around bribery - think the ‘dance’ Americans do who are ‘on the take’ is silly.
Sounds like Al Gore's Buddhist Temple of Cash scam.
No, transcripts will suffice.
if I was in a debate I would bring up politicians who have gone to jail for bribery and how it is different from her getting 100,000 for a speech.
MSM should be focusing more on this, less on trivial comments made - or not made - by GOP candidates.
What's the difference? Something in the sound quality?

Bernie’s a psycho but has some guts.
Huge speaking fees are just another dirty loophole created to allow large transfers of wealth to politicians and the well connected
as payment for, or in anticipation of, political favoritism, contracts, handouts or some other quid pro quo deal.
For publicly held companies it is theft from the stockholders.
For Labor Unions it is theft from the dues paying members.
For colleges, other institutions and businesses receiving government grants or contracts it is simply a legalized kickback.
