$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?

Assange says Wikileaks is working on it.

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

No transcripts?

No tax returns.

That's how I'd play it, and I suspect Trump might do the same.

Do you have any proof of that?

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