Here are all the six-figure speaking fees that Hillary Clinton received after leaving the State Department

Hillary Clinton says she had a "restful" time following her tenure as Secretary of State, but that doesn't mean she didn't make a lot of money.

During that time, she made nearly $12 million by charging fees that topped $335,000 for dozens of speeches.

Clinton's speaking fees shed light on the industries willing to shill out big bucks for a few minutes with the former Secretary of State.

As the Washington Post notes, a significant chunk of the money that Clinton made from speeches came from tech companies. eBay shilled out $315,000 for a speech that last 20 minutes, while Cisco paid $325,000 for Clinton to sit onstage with the company's CEO. Salesforce.com brought Clinton back for multiple events.

And for discount spenders, Clinton offered a reduced price for remote addresses via satellite video. The former Secretary of State charged some of her lowest speaking fees to the California Medical Association and Novo Nordisk for video speeches.

1. I don't suppose you could have made that bigger...

... or given context... or a link...

[DesMoinesDem]

6. What's not to understand? Hillary's all about income opportunity. She'll take money from anyone.

[Buzz Clik]

9. And you could not have been honest enough to put that in the OP?

[DesMoinesDem]

12. I thought the OP speaks for itself. Sorry you couldn't figure it out.

[Buzz Clik]

14. Little ol' innocent you? Meh. Your OP smacks of blatant dishonesty.

No links, no comments

A picture that formed the headline for a story from a pro-Clinton site followed immediately by a "table" that was totally hatcheted. No attribution for either.

Pure flame bait.

[RobertEarl]

16. Truth hurts, eh Buzz?

You do seem rather hurt by this truth?

[Buzz Clik]

18. Truth? No. I get annoyed by dishonesty and intentionally misleading OPs.

Shit, it's not like we hadn't seen that friggin' table before. Like a thousand times.

This was nothing but horseshit. Are you defending it? Smells like it.

[DesMoinesDem]

25. There's nothing dishonest about the OP.

It's a table of numbers. I thought the headline fit the table perfectly. You seem to be pissed that you are seeing this table again because you want it hidden. You don't want the truth to be seen.

[Buzz Clik]

27. No. Read carefully this time:

The "headline" came from one source plumping Clinton's record on income equality.

The table came from another source outlining Clinton's massive earnings from big companies/whatever for lectures.

It was INTENTIONALLY misleading.

I'm done with this thread. Have the last word.

[DesMoinesDem]

29. No, it's not dishonest or misleading. The headline fits the table, so I used it.

You think it's misleading because you associate the headline with the other propaganda article. That's your problem. The headline works with the table. Hillary is a lifetime champion of income opportunity, and the table proves it.

[markpkessinger]

30. There's a link at the bottom of the post n/t

[Buzz Clik]

40. So I see. Here's what the original looked like:

[840high]

36. There is a word for that...

k/r

[bvar22]

19. Good thing her bosses at WalMart didn't find out about this HIllary's Secret Populism.

They wouldn't like that.

[upaloopa]

2. Your other post back in February was about

John Conyers missing votes.
He's still around so I guess your batting average will be zero when Hillary gets elected.

[DesMoinesDem]

4. In a thread about missed votes I'm the only one that had the balls to point out who missed the most!

[Buzz Clik]

10. Such courage

[DesMoinesDem]

26. Thanks. I was attacked for posting the truth. Just like in this thread.

Some people on this site hate the truth when it is about someone they like.

[Buzz Clik]

3. Anyone need a translation or some context to this bullshit hit and run?

Here's the original story:

http://correctrecord.org/hillary-clinton-a-lifetime-champion-of-income-opportunity-2/

And the Mr/Ms "Dem" decided to follow that with money Hillary earned for speeches at various locations.

7. I have the context right here. I.E. Cisco and Qualcomm wanted TPP, paid for speeches.

Next thing you know, Clinton doesn't know where she stands.

But it gets worse:

Facilitating arms sales, including biological and chemical agents, to unfriendly nations and then taking money from them:

In its 2010 Human Rights Report, Clinton’s State Department inveighed against Algeria’s government for imposing “restrictions on freedom of assembly and association” tolerating “arbitrary killing,” “widespread corruption,” and a “lack of judicial independence.” The report said the Algerian government “used security grounds to constrain freedom of expression and movement.”

That year, the Algerian government donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation and its lobbyists met with the State Department officials who oversee enforcement of human rights policies. Clinton’s State Department the next year approved a one-year 70 percent increase in military export authorizations to the country. The increase included authorizations of almost 50,000 items classified as “toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents and associated equipment” after the State Department did not authorize the export of any of such items to Algeria in the prior year.

http://www.ibtimes.com/clinton-foundation-donors-got-weapons-deals-hillary-clintons-state-department-1934187

Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments had given millions to the Clinton Foundation.

And then a LOT of those arms manufacture's dollars went back to the Clintons in the form of high priced speaking fees.

20. Hillary has a lot of blood on her hands.

Sometimes you can see the dead children behind her eyes.

[840high]

37. Thank you.

[NYC_SKP]

5. She truly has climbed those steps just like that little $ at the top in the image.

IMO, these speaking engagements have the appearance of a way to launder money, right in plain sight!

Since leaving her post as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton earned millions of dollars delivering 41 paid speeches in the U.S. to a variety of companies and organizations. At least 10 of those groups have been lobbying Congress and federal agencies on trade, an issue that has divided Democrats as the Obama administration pushes for a 12-nation pacific trade deal - and around which Hillary Clinton has remained mum.

Clinton has spoken in general terms on trade, saying in New Hampshire last month that any trade deal "has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security." But the issue pits liberal Democrats against the White House and Republicans, and there's a chorus of Democrats are calling for Clinton to weigh in.

In the weeks since she launched her presidential bid, Clinton has been dogged by questions about whether special interests sought to buy influence while she was secretary of state through donations to the Clinton Foundation and through Bill Clinton's paid speeches. For the first time, Hillary Clinton's financial disclosures provide a picture of the speaking engagements for which she was paid since leaving the State Department and at a time when she was actively considering whether to run for president.

According to the disclosures released by the campaign on Friday evening, the former secretary of state earned at least $2.7 million from speeches at companies backing the trade promotion authority (TPA) that President Obama has been seeking in order to "fast track" approval of trade deals. While that's a fraction of the $25 million Bill and Hillary Clinton earned from paid speeches from January 2014 to present, they nonetheless open the presidential candidate to criticism.

39. ^^^this^^^

[libdem4life]

8. Where was it again that she was listed with Bernie as a Progressive? Then people have the

nerve earlier to suggest that Bernie couldn't manage his money which is why he didn't have much. I'd like to see the list of his paid speaking engagements? Probably "crickets".

Now that's a visual that would pretty much sum it up. Who is for the People, and who is for themselves first. Talk about Trickle-down. This appears to be flood stage up.

[Doctor_J]

13. she's way more liberal than Sanders!!!! The most liberal senator in history!

[Buzz Clik]

15. Most liberal in history? Who keeps such records -- Guinness?

[bvar22]

21. No. Obama is the most Liberal Senator/President in history.

It has already been declared on DU.
They had a parade and everything.

[morningfog]

11. Are there transcripts of what she says for six figures? I'm curious.

Any transcripts of her expensive speeches?

[Exilednight]

22. Nope, and there's a reason for that. If you were selling out your

Constituents, would you want a record?

[morningfog]

23. It's be great for a recording of some of it to surface.

Do we even know the subject matter or her speeches?

[Exilednight]

24. I'm sure they're tailor made for each event. No one is going to pay her that kind of

Money for generic platitudes.

[moondust]

17. $30 million in the past 17 months ain't bad.

(I think that's the Clintons' combined income since January 2014.)

I don't know whether to call her an oligarch or a plutocrat.

[peecoolyour]

28. Ahem.

Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist and a staunch critic of Wall Street, has an estimated net worth of $330,507, making him the poorest candidate currently in the race.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/06/politics/election-2016-richest-presidential-candidates/

[Man from Pickens]

31. That's outrageous!

What's with the discount prices to Canadians and Mexicans? Even at list price she's a bargain, compared to what you get in return.

[JoePhilly]

32. Hey ... can you do a similar chart for the top 5 GOP Candidates???????????

I'm guessing not ... but WOW does this read like a Karl Rove ad.

Karl likes to take what the GOP does, and project it against his opponent.

If you can't provide similar data for the GOP Candidates ... no one on DU should take you seriously.

[DesMoinesDem]

33. No one should take me seriously because I posted acurate information about Hillary's income? LOL

That's how low the Hillary defenders have sunk? Sad. I don't know who the top 5 Republican candidates are right now, but looking at the list of all of them I can guarantee none of them are making $315,000 for a 20 minute speech like Hillary was paid for speaking to ebay executives. Fiorina is probably the most wealthy thanks to hp, though she is probably worth less than the Clintons. Huckabee probably made millions from his show. Jeb apparently is only worth a few million. That's about as far as I'll go for your demands trying to distract from Hillary's income. If you care about the Republicans you can look it up. I'm not interested in them. I am interested in Hillary Clinton because she is running for the Democratic nomination. If all you do is defend Hillary Clinton and attack anyone that posts accurate information about her no one on DU should take you seriously. I know I don't.

[Fumesucker]

34. No one here is planning on voting Republican

If there were serious arguments here that we should vote Republican then yes I see where the data on Republicans would be useful but that is not the case.

DU already agrees that Republicans are worse, that is not even an issue.

[840high]

38. I don't care . GOP will not be

on my ticket.

[NYC_SKP]

41. Please show me just ONE example of a GOP candidate being paid $300,000 for a speech.

I think the Clintons invented this thing.

Bill made $750,000 for just one freaking speech.

In China, of course.

[99Forever]

35. Very informative, thanks.
