The Clinton Foundation was setup up as mostly a money laundering front to fund the Clinton campaign and enrich the Clinton's. With no more $200,000 speeches to give, how do the Clinton's repay their "pay to play" friends? Awfully lot of pissed off heads of state going to want something back from them. Ought to be interesting. I guess we'll find out more when the trial starts next year.

The price went up for Elvis of Arkansas when Hillionsaire was SoS, it just bottomed out for both of them.

They will both still make money off of speeches but nothing like Elvis made previously.

Blood.

Some of these donors are nasty characters who don't play.

Hillary should've been a better candidate.

She has nothing left to sell. You think people pay $200k for 30 minute speeches because they want to hear her talk?

Hypothetically speaking, she should still be in demand for these same speeches now, seeing as nothing was expected from her in return. Eager to see how her speaking schedule fills up now that she's got a ton of open time.

As a former president Bill will always be in demand. Hillary has nothing left to offer, only liberal universities will ask her to speak paying for it with students tuition $ bc the group that supports her cant afford gala events.

I'd pay to watch her cry and throw things at her campaign staff, but I don't they will command the price they used to charge since they have next to no influence in government now.

I'd give her a rubber chicken lunch to come speak to the local Exchange Club where she could interact with actual Americans who do vote and think she is a piece of shite.

The day Hillary became SoS Bill's speaking fee doubled, do you think what he had to say became twice as valuable because his wife was now SoS?

Or consider this, small company that had never in company's history paid to have someone speak at a event, paid Bill Clinton to speak at a corporate event, not long after the company was placed on a approved State department vendor list.

You can't be so naïve as to think this was anything but a pay to play scheme.

of course their was some pay to play involved, never claimed otherwise, that has always been the case in government

and Hillary's worth as a speaker definitely went down

but I'm quite certain she will still be able to charge a hefty fee for speeches, and will be in demand for some time
