Not bad for a soldier and government worker that was paid less than $300,000 for a few years of government service.

How much of that would you guess came from China? 75%?

Now revisit what Trump said about him in his statement and tell me if he is right or wrong

I'm sure he got millions from defense contractors!

Guy has been out of government for awhile...so lobbying, board of director gigs, speaking gigs, and book deals.....yeah could see how he got to that number...probably could have banked more if he was a complete whore like Biden.

He had a lucrative speaking career. I was present at one of them. It was a very high dollar affair. A large convention with $1000 tickets and 20,000 attendees Id imagine.
Also consider hes a boomer so anything he saved over time saw the Dow go from 1000 to 35,000.

You do know speaking fees are paid for influence, right? He’s not imparting $100k of wisdom in 30 minutes.

It’d be interesting to see what “boards” he sat on.

He had been long retired. 2014ish.
John Huntsman was there too, speaking.
They both gave very good speeches too.

Don't like Colin Powell any better than the rest, but he has written (or had someone write for him) 20 or more books. Even some modestly well known public figures make bank off of books.

His ability to make things happen in the business, and political arena using the connections he had made doesn’t end with retirement.

In Powell's case, a $20 million security convention is paying for headlining speakers to sell tickets, not 30 minutes of wisdom. $100,000 would be cheap. He probably got more than that. People spend more than that on a fricking wedding.

These are all forms of bribery
They occur as part of a quid pro quo.

If all Powell got from the Illuminati was $60 million then he got ripped off.

What do you think Comey is worth? Or any other federal bureaucrat that moves between the MIC and their federal bureaucrat appointments?
