Bill and Hillary Clinton Got Super-Rich Selling Influence by Stephen Lendman My writing, media work and occasional public talks are entirely pro bono. No one pays me a dime, nor do I expect compensation other than the gratification of knowing doing the right thing is its own reward - a priceless benefit I cherish. Hillary and husband Bill have polar opposite values. They became super-rich selling influence, their net worth estimated at between $100 and $200 million, most of it stashed in tax havens. Unbridled lust for power and greed drive them, despicable wickedness by any standard - their policies reasons among others why America is so feared and reviled. Clintons for sale! Last May, the New York Post published a list of speeches Hillary gave to various organizations (mostly Wall Street and other financial ones), the dates and compensation received, from April 2013 - March 2015 - likely stopping after she announced her candidacy for president, but given her dubious past, who knows. More may come out later. All compensation she received per speech was in 6-figures - only seven out of over seven dozen listed were less than $200,000. Not all of her post-secretary of state addresses were included. Deutsche Bank earlier paid her over $553,000 for one speech, Goldman Sachs $675,000 for another. Wall Street, other corporate interests and various other organizations know ya gotta pay plenty to play. In the 90s, the Clintons sold the Lincoln bedroom for hard cash. In return for 6-figure fees to influential figures like Bill and Hillary, donors get huge returns on their investments in the form of no-bid government contracts, friendly legislation and other dubious favors. Both Clintons amassed super-wealth the same despicable way, including from wealthy donors, foreign countries and organizations to their foundation, a money-laundering racket posing as a charitable NGO - proving beyond a shadow of a doubt they’re world class scoundrels, as well as neoliberal war criminals multiple times over.

Hey, Stephen. Why would anybody pay Hillary or Bill $250,000 to talk for an hour? U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
I wonder how many coughing fits Hillary Clinton went through during her speaking engagements?

Maybe the engagements were just cocktails and blow pow wows...
