Clinton’s Speaking Fees — No Corruption; Quite Generous

Over the negative din of politics, it can be hard to hear what’s positive. Hillary Clinton has given $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity (see below). That’s 26 times as much as she made on her three Goldman Sachs speeches combined, or 50% more than she made on her 51 speeches in 2014 and 2015. Before presenting the details, let me summarize.

Her fees were not the least bit unusual given her stature.
Over 100 lesser known Americans are also in the $200,000+ category.
The Goldman Sachs fees were below her average fee.
She gave $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity.
Charging Goldman Sachs less would have just meant more profits for them and less for charity.

According to the Washington Post, Bill Clinton has contributed speaking fees to their foundation 73 times and Hillary Clinton 15 times. Hillary’s contributions include one address to Goldman Sachs and another to JP Morgan Chase. In total, Hillary donated something over $17.6 million. Contrary to what you may have heard, their foundation is highly efficient with only 11% overhead, and has provided $2,000 million dollars to the poor and needy.

Their foundation projects include training African farmers to get access to seeds, equipment and markets for their crops, reforestation projects in Africa and the Caribbean, renewable energy projects in island nations, and work to lower the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine and scale up pediatric AIDS treatment. And here’s a picture from Oakland (next door to me) from the Clinton Foundation’s “Too Small to Fail” project.

3. Of course, this will be dismissed as

cynicism or "pandering" to charity.

Hillary can never win with some.

5. The Clintons donate lots to charities, this helps many who are in need, good for them.

She was paid for her speeches, she could have kept the money for herself, she did not.

6. She's also paid as much as her male counterparts!

Just like in many things, there is a big discrepancy in sums paid to male speakers as opposed to female speakers at these types of events. Hillary commands an amount in line with her male counterparts. Good for her! She not only fights for equality for women, she demands it for herself. Something we should all be proud of.
