Since virtually all mainstream media seem to have “forgotten” how much has been paid to Hillary Clinton by the big money interests she swears she is going to put the wood to if elected President, I thought I’d remind them. And you.
From Robert Yoon’s February 16th article at CNN.com:
Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows.
So when Bernie Sanders and Republicans attacked her for taking all that money and accused her of being owned by the people who paid it, she must have immediately released the transcripts of her speeches to prove they have it all wrong; that she is a tiger, going up against big money, on behalf of the little folks who buy into her “Fighting For Us” slogan, right?
Well, did she? DID she?
No, she did not. What she did do was concoct a half-assed “I’ll only release them if everyone else does” routine – which is nonsensical on its face.
No other candidate can release the transcripts of their quarter million dollar speeches to Wall Street, because no other candidate made them. And even if they did, what would that have to do with whether Hillary Clinton releases hers?
Basic common sense: if the transcripts in any way proved she was telling the truth, she’d release them no matter which other opponent released what.
Billie and Hillie got $153 million for Speeches
and $20 million for Book Advances –
yet, these expensive pontificators
can’t remember, under oath, details of their activities while being officials of the government.
