merrill Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 “Follow the money.” At what point do “contributions” become bribes, “constituent services” turn into quid pro quos and “charities” become slush funds? So what would Washington and Jefferson make of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Mandatory financial disclosures released this month show that, in just the two years from April 2013 to March 2015, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state collected $21,667,000 in “speaking fees,” not to mention the cool $5 mil she corralled as an advance for her 2014 flop book, “Hard Choices.” Throw in the additional $26,630,000 her ex-president husband hoovered up in personal-appearance “honoraria,” and the nation can breathe a collective sigh of relief that the former first couple — who, according to Hillary, were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001 with some of the furniture in tow — can finally make ends meet. No wonder Donald Trump calls her “crooked Hillary.” (TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE) A look at Mrs. Clinton’s speaking venues and the whopping sums she’s received since she left State gives us an indication who’s desperate for a place at the trough — and whom another Clinton administration might favor. First off, there’s Wall Street and the financial-services industry. Democratic champions of the Little Guy are always in bed with the Street — they don’t call Barack Obama “President Goldman Sachs” for nothing, but Mrs. Clinton has room for Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice and their 10 best friends. Multiple trips to Goldman Sachs. Morgan Stanley. Deutsche Bank. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts. UBS Wealth Management. As the character of Che Guevara sings in “Evita”: “And the money kept rolling in.” And all at the bargain price of $225,000 a pop . . . to say what? We don’t know, because Hillary won’t release the transcripts. Bill and Hillary Clinton collected more than $48 million in speaking fees in the past few years. http://nypost.com/2016/05/22/how-corporate-america-bought-hillary-clinton-for-21m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrill Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Even as Hillary Clinton has stepped up her rhetorical assault on Wall Street, her campaign and allied super PACs have continued to rake in millions from the financial sector, a sign of her deep and lasting relationships with banking and investment titans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-blasts-wall-street-but-still-draws-millions-in-contributions/2016/02/04/05e1be00-c9c2-11e5-ae11-57b6aeab993f_story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KneeJerk Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Fabian socialists ARE the banking class. It's not like they don't want theirs ... they just want everybody elses too. kj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drvoke Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well, at least she is a high-priced whore. That's somewhat admirable. What we don't like to admit is that we are all whores to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrill Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 so it is okay for Hillary to be corrupt but not donald trump and the koch boys? is this why voters blindly keep sending back the same faces? then the lions share of voters are equally corrupt....

You spread your legs for him all day, every day, telling lies and trying to trick liberals into wasting their votes on that no-hoper Stein, to help that lunatic Trump get into the White House. Why do you want to harm America? Why are you such a repulsive traitor and asskissing stooge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shintao Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hillary got paid up front. There is no guarantee that she is going to get them off. I can't understand cons attitude about making money. Isn't capitalism about having great skills that produce a maximum of money for services rendered?? They either hate capitalism or are just jealous they can't make that kind of money.
