On Thursday, Townhall.com<\/a> posted an article about speaking fees collected by Bill Clinton during the time that Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State<\/a>. You have to hand it to Bill and Hillary, regardless of what in the world goes on in their marriage, they know how to wash each other’s hands financially. She had amazing profits on cattle futures while he was leading Arkansas<\/a>, and he had amazing speaking fees while she was Secretary of State. Wow. What an incredible coincidence.<\/p>\n

This is the chart from the article that tells it all?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note the last sentence before the numbers. Company representatives say the speeches were unrelated to any lobbying efforts. Sure they were.<\/p>\n

A recent Wall Street Journa<\/a>l article reports:<\/p>\n

Mr. Clinton also had a large payday from Oracle Corp.<\/a>: a total of $500,000 for two talks given or approved while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state. He gave one in October 2012 as the company was urging the State Department<\/a> to increase the number of skilled-worker visas being issued, lobbying reports show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oracle, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Microsoft Corp<\/a>., whose co-founder Bill Gates<\/a> has suggested eliminating the visa cap altogether, paid Mr. Clinton a total of more than $1.1 million for speeches during Mrs. Clinton\u2019s tenure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. Clinton has long supported increasing skilled-worker visas, known as H-1B visas<\/a>, as did her husband when he was president. The issue has remained mired in the broader congressional debate about immigration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2009, the Biotechnology Industry Organization<\/a> lobbied the State Department to get diplomats to oppose rules against genetically modified foods. In December, Mrs. Clinton sent a cable to diplomats telling them to \u201cpay particular attention\u201d to countries considering biotech regulation and to push an \u201cactive biotech agenda\u201d that would \u201cprotect the interests of U.S. farmers and exporters,\u201d according to a copy released by WikiLeaks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five months later, the biotechnology group paid Mr. Clinton $175,000 to appear at its convention. After Mrs. Clinton left the State Department, she also spoke at the trade group\u2019s convention, earning $335,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously, haven’t we had enough of Clinton scandals? Do we really want to go through this with a President Clinton again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
