Of course they paid willingly.

They are getting political favors from the Clintons worth far more than what they are paying them. It's a bargain for them.

I'm sorry that this subject is so embarrassing for you that you have to try to deflect it and make it about Trump.

Do you have any proof of that?

Because there is plenty of proof that Hillary has been bought and paid for.

Not really. There's proof she and Bill took money for speeches. Even your girl $arah Palin takes $100K and Rudy Guiliani makes $270K per speech.

For that matter, Hillary gets $200k per speech, but The Donald gets $1.5 million per speech. Does that mean he's 7.5X more bought and sold than Hillary?

Dude, I despise Republicans as much as I do the Clintonistas.

But I understand your need to misrepresent me like that as you candidate is indefensible on her own.

Really?

I am unaware of that.

Can you document it?

Of course not. “The Donald earned a staggering $1.5 million per speech at The Learning Annex’s ‘real estate wealth expos’ in 2006 and 2007,” according to Forbes. “Trump appeared at 17 seminars and collected this fee for each one.”

Those advisors might just be beholden to The Donald if he wins.

I've heard that your precious Donny makes $1 million per speech. If he'd release his tax returns like the Clintons have done we would know for sure. How is that deflecting?

That occurred to me too. We'll see.
