Complete Headline: Hillary reveals she earned $1.5million from just SIX speeches last year and $5million in book royalties while husband Bill's speeches raked in a whopping $5 million
- Hillary Clinton filed a candidate financial disclosure form on Tuesday
- The documents show that the presidential hopeful made $5million from royalties for her book 'Hard Choices' in the year before her campaign
- In 2015 she also made $1.5million in speaking fees
- Her highest-paying speech was at eBay, for $315,000
[Snip]
Hillary Clinton's speeches to Wall Street interests between 2013 and 2015 spurred questions about her own lack of transparency, leading to repeated calls from her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, for transcripts of her talks to banks, investment houses and other financial interests.
[Snip]
In all, she made at least 94 appearances before corporate and other special interests between 2013 and 2015, earning more than $21.6 million for her services.

I'm not really concernedwhat her personal earnings were. I want to know what that crooked stinkin "charitable foundation" of theirs earned. Thats where they launder their money through.
And they've got that horse-faced daughter of theirs involved in that one too with that 600k confidence reporter job they got her.

She can’t release the transcripts because there were no speeches.

She also pulls a 250,000 dollar a year salary from her Presidential campaign - the maximum allowed by law.

Donald Trump should demand Congress pass legislation preventing politicians leaving office from receiving this kind of “speaking fee” income for a period of 3-5 years after leaving office.
The situation has really gotten out of control as outrageous “speaking fees” have become de facto quid pro quo retroactive bribe payments for services rendered while in office

Wonder how many books got printed?
Which company handled the circulation?
Did she sign any of the copies....
Hillary Clinton's book “Hard Choices” has sold 280,000 copies copies to date.
The original cover price was $35.00 per copy.
If all copies were sold at the cover price of $35.00 per copy total retail revenues would have been 9.8 million dollars.
FWIW, unsold editions of Hard Choices have been going for 3-7 dollars a copy on Amazon for quite some time.
Hillary was paid a reported book advance of 14 million dollars for the book by Simon and Schuster, which has a pattern of paying the Clintons huge advance payments for books that lose millions and never even have gross retail revenues that recover the advance payment .
In other words, the advance payments are simple sweet heart deals used to legally convey cash to the Clintons

Yup - it's a more polished variation of Wright's scam. The media runs away from making any such comparisons.

"Her book sales were in the tank. That book was never a bestseller.
Exactly. She already had an autobiography, "Living History" that came out years ago.
No sane person would ever buy a SECOND "autobiography".
If someone looked into actual sales, I guarantee they'd find that they are mostly shell purchases by unions.
Probably given away as a souvenir at some SEIU function.
Perfect scheme to get around campaign donation limits.

OK, let’s see the sales records.
Who bought a million books so Clinton could get her $5 million?
Anyone?
Buehler?
