The Clintons made $700,000 from speeches the day after Hillary’s ‘dead broke’ comments

[Decus]

Simple conclusion is that Hillary lied about being dead broke in an attempt to convince poor and middle class voters that she is just like them.

Hillary is a con artist.

She said 'when they left the WH'.

The speech she was paid for was given in 2014.

Now, take off your shoes and count the years between the two.

Hey einstein. $700,000 a day ain't dead broke.

"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt." The former first lady cited legal fees that she and her husband had to pay during his White House tenure. She said she sorry she made the statement but it's accurate. Obviously her financial status has change since 2001

"The day after the comment became public, the couple gave three speeches, grossing $700,000 in fees."

In other words, total bullshit. You only read what you wanted to read from the article.

It's income inequality when a Republican makes money.
It's fair compensation when a Democrat makes money....

I don't think many of you understand the problem with income inequality. It's not that a few people are making massive amounts of money; it's that those who work in their companies and businesses are being underpaid substantially. Companies are registering record profits and paying their top people record amounts because of it, but the average Joe's who are the ones doing the work are not seeing any benefit from any of it.

Furthermore, Clinton earned $450,000/yr for 8 years with almost no personal expenses while he was president. So why was he broke?

 

[bripat9643]

Where is your proof, all you have to do is Google and her lies are all over. See...

Hillary Clinton says she and Bill were dead broke PolitiFact

Their highest possible assets totaled about $1.8 million, while their lowest possible debts were nearly $2.3 million. The most optimistic scenario left them in a hole of about $500,000.

You left out their assets, tool. Just stop, she lied and deep down you know it...or you should.

See the statement.......Their highest possible assets totaled $1.8 million

If they used that money to buy a home, it does nor raise their total assets

"We rate the claim Mostly False"

Clinton's had more liabilities than assetts

What "liabilities?" How did they incur these debts? They had no expenses when they were in the Whitehouse.

a paycheck is not a benefit of working

or insurance is not a Benefit

how about vacation time no benefit

hows about if you think you are getting ripped off

get another jobie job

just saying

 

[protectionist]

Hillary Clinton could well be in jail right now on concealment charges, and probably would be, if the Democrats didn't control the White House and attorney general. She is the most low-life candidate for president I've seen in years.

She lies more than a jihadist Muslim who lives by taqiyya. Even those trashbags could learn something about lying, from Ms Smile All the Time.

You are missing the point that this is bad for our economy. It isn't even about fairness. It's just plain bad for the economy.

Her comment, "We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt." was made in 2014. The $700,000 the Clintons made 13 years after leaving the White House does not prove she lied about her financial status when leaving the White House. This should be obvious to everyone except conservatives.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I have no problem with them making money off these speeches... seriously. But spare us all the poor mouthing and bashing of the rich... you are the rich. STFU already.

The fact is the Clinton's have never been destitute, however, they haven't always been able to live the life as a Royal and those hypocritical liberals love to live the life as a Royal.

 

[Staidhup]

A funny thought, back in the day, when Billy and Hill were at their Ivy league college, sucking up those scholarship bucks provided by affluent alumni, they hated and despised the establishment, what it stood for, corruption, cronyism, the control the establishment had over everyone's life, yet they became the establishment and boy have they adjusted well to the lifestyle and all that power. Funny how that worked out.

 

[Desperado]

Hillary is a liar!

That is an undeniable fact. Unfortunately, it has not hurt other politicians in the past.
Just don't know if it is because Americans are just that forgiving or just that stupid.
My money is on just that stupid.

Like most presidential families, if they weren't wealthy before the presidency, they became wealthy after. Truman is the last president we had that had a net worth less than a million dollars

Harry S. Truman >1 million
Dwight Eisenhower 8 million
John F. Kennedy 125 million
Lyndon Johnson 98 million
Richard Nixon 15 million
Gerald Ford 7 million
Jimmy Carter 7 million
Ronald Reagan 13 million
George H. W. Bush 23 million
Bill Clinton 55 million
George W. Bush 20 million
Barack Obama 8 million

 

[boilermaker55]

Tell us how many times one of your hero's , donnie trump, has filed bankruptcy and shafted those he owes money too.

The obama's are just as bad esp mooch and her multi-million $ vacations on the public dime. And yet democrats paint themselves as the party fighting "income inequality"!!!

The Clintons made 700 000 from speeches the day after Hillary s dead broke comments - The Washington Post

may 22 2015
On January 6, 2014, Hillary Clinton gave a speech on behalf of GE at an event in Boca Raton, Fla. For her time, she received $220,500 -- meaning that, six days into the year, the Clintons' household income was already four times the median American household income for 2014.

As is now well known, that was not the last speech a Clinton gave last year. The Post has tracked those appearances and the fees they generated. We took that data and plotted it by calendar day.

Most of the events were in the first half of the year. On June 9, at the outset of her tour for her book "Hard Choices," Clinton's now-famous comment about being "dead broke" on leaving the White House aired during an ABC News interview. By that point, the two had already made over $11 million in speaking fees for the year. The day after the comment became public, the couple gave three speeches, grossing $700,000 in fees.
