Before Hillary became Secretary of State, Bill's speaking fees averaged 100k. While she was SoS, his fees went up to 700k?

Update:

Did Bill suddenly become a really good speaker in 2008, or is the Clinton Crime Family just really brazen?

    If they'll pay it for a former President, then so what? It's expected that he'll bring in more money to the organization hiring him to speak. Like an athlete with star power and big contract brings more people in to fill the seats.

    It's not out of line with other speakers, even the older Bush got paid a cool million from the Japanese for a speech there about twelve years ago, and no one made a fuss over it.

    So you want to connect her husband to her corruption. That's fine I suppose. But why can we ask about the direct corruption of your candidate who collects money for veterans and does not donate it? Or say he's donated money but it turns out his father did. Or a candidate who pushes others to release their tax returns but refuses to release his own....yeah so bills fees when up....woahhhhhh what a scandal. You inability to focus on the real hypocrisy and BS is incredible. Dimwit.

    Being Secretary of State was apparently a very lucrative job for Hillary.

    That is what they charged for access, pay to play.

    How much will it be if she is president?

    5 million.

    Oh my God, the sky is falling! Does this imply that conservative past presidents speak for free?
