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
[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.

At this point ... what difference does it make?
I would pay money to NOT hear her speak.
Both are smooth con artists. Deliberately deceptive. Both deserve prison.
This is the kind of wealth redistribution approved by all high level influential politicians.
Gargantuan speaking fees are just a money laundering loophole providing a way to pay for actual or anticipated favoritism by politicials and the well connected.
Hillary’s book sales were so poor, there’s no way she earned $5 million off royalties.
The publisher ate a $5 million advance. Her book sales were in the tank. That book was never a bestseller.

If I can find the actual form online, I'll post the link. This is Trump's filing:

Wonder how many books got printed?
Which company handled the circulation?
Did she sign any of the copies....
That document is a lie....no way she sold that many books.
The book, the speeches (if there were actually any speeches) are just a cover for a protection racket. Nothing unusual for government types. The Clintons just run a rather large scale version of the protection racket.
No, it's not. That's her campaign finances.
I'll keep looking for her personal disclosure.
Somebody paid way too much.
I thought they were dead broke?
That aint workin, thats the way ya do it. Get your money for nothing and your checks for free.
Actually, that song line is “...chicks for free”
Which works just as well for both Bill and Hillary ;-o

Oh you’re right. Yes, still fits.
As Shakespeare said, a bribe by any other name is still a bribe.
$5 million in book ROYALTIES? For a book nobody bought and nobody read?
