Hillary Clinton Bribed $2.9 Million For 12 Wall St Speeches?

Hillary Clinton has received a significant amount of criticism for not releasing the transcripts of her Goldman Sachs speeches. They’re not the only financial institution she’s given speeches to. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders this week assailed rival Hillary Clinton for taking large speaking fees from the financial industry since leaving the State Department.

According to public disclosures, by giving just 12 speeches to Wall Street banks, private equity firms, and other financial corporations, Clinton made $2,935,000 from 2013 to 2015...

Clinton’s most lucrative year was 2013, right after stepping down as secretary of state. That year, she made $2.3 million for three speeches to Goldman Sachs and individual speeches to Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Apollo Management Holdings, UBS, Bank of America, and Golden Tree Asset Managers.

The following year, she picked up $485,000 for a speech to Deutsche Bank and an address to Ameriprise. Last year, she made $150,000 from a lecture before the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.”*

While Secretary of State, her husband was paid over $17 million to speak.
In total, the two have been allegedly paid $139 million to 'speak'....and oddly they legislated in favor of those that paid them....not that they were bribed for their actions or anything......
It seems like they wouldn't need any campaign donations with that kind of income.
