YOU didn't want to read.  That doesn't make "no one".

And do you know how much an ex-president can get paid just to speak?

Quote:Hillary Clinton - $200K

Commanding around $200,000, Clinton recently came under fire for her $250,000 speaking fee at an upcoming UNLV fundraiser. Hilary told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in June that her family was “dead broke” upon leaving White House.

Bill Clinton - $200K

Though he is typically paid around $200,000, there are some notable exceptions. Swedish Telecom firm Ericsson reportedly paid the former president $750,000 for one speech in 2011. The Washington Post published a comprehensive review of the astounding $104.9 million Clinton has amassed in speaking fees since leaving office.

Of course maybe "no one" wants to hear either of them speak?

So while you might not like it they got paid for being themselves and talking.

My wife works for a food bank.  Do you know what they do when a big donor wants to stop in and see the operation?

They make darn sure their schedules open so they can meet with them.

Do know what they would do if the donor asked if the could take the forklift home with him?

Politely, but firmly, tell him no but thank him for the donations and hope they continue.

Every group that has large donors will meet with them.

Every one of them.

That is "obvious grifting".  But I think if the Clinton's released where every dime came from and every dime went and every email with every contact ever some people would STILL call them crooks.

Where there is smoke sometimes its just people smoking funny stuff that makes them think there's a fire.
