$153 million in Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking fees, documented

Tell me she isn't bought.

(CNN)Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows.
In total, the two gave 729 speeches from February 2001 until May, receiving an average payday of $210,795 for each address. The two also reported at least $7.7 million for at least 39 speeches to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS, with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic 2016 front-runner, collecting at least $1.8 million for at least eight speeches to big banks.

The analysis was made at a time when Hillary Clinton has been under scrutiny for her ties to Wall Street, which has been a major focus of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail.

That's the lamest line I've heard since:

When are we going to get a look at Trump's tax returns? What's he hiding?

At least the people willingly paid to hear the Clintons speak. Trump simply rips people off and declares bankruptcy.

I sensed that to be a throwaway line from Assange, somehow trying to show that he's an equal opportunity hacker.
