Here’s What Hillary Clinton’s Paid Speaking Contract Looks Like

[Fawke Em]

So what exactly does Hillary Clinton ask for when she gives a paid speech, like the ones she gave at Goldman Sachs? A contract for a speech she gave at the University of Nevada Las Vegas provides some answers. The contract was obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal in August, through the state public records law.

For that speech in October 2014, Clinton requested two payments of $112,500:

1. "Recording Clinton’s speech is prohibited"

wtf?

She doesn't understand why people have a problem with that?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. She has nightmares of a --

Romney "47%" moment being splashed across the airwaves if tape existed. And, considering some of her audiences, I can see why she would have been worried.

[zentrum]

36. This one worries me frankly.

I mean worries me anew—now that there's a call for transcripts. What's to keep them from "fixing" up the written words? And taking out the problematic words with no recordings to check against?

Were people allowed to take notes? Were they patted down before entering to make sure they didn't have recording devices? —including cell phones?

[Agschmid]

54. When she spoke at our company it was all over Instagram.

Including videos of her speaking... So in short "no".

[zentrum]

56. Good point.

Unless al that was forbidden too.

[Agschmid]

57. Who knows? May have been but that didn't stop us.

[zentrum]

60. Glad to hear it!

I'm sure that will be the case here too. Somewhere….someone….has a record of something from those speeches.

[pnwmom]

43. Her speeches are her intellectual property, like that of any author. This is standard

language that helps protect her copyright.

When she made these speeches, she was a private citizen and had as much a right to do so as any citizen.

[Cheese Sandwich]

44. OK but it looks pretty shady when public officials take millions from Wall Street creeps

[pnwmom]

46. Was she a public official then? n/t

[Cheese Sandwich]

47. Revolving door?

[pnwmom]

50. So, the answer is no, she wasn't. n/t

[pangaia]

51. !!! ???

[arcane1]

2. "That's what they offer", is it?

[Fawke Em]

6. Looks like she gave them the corporate discount!

[lob1]

9. On local CBS news in LA last night, they said that UCLA asked Hillary to

give a speech. She said it'd cost $300,000. The university asked if Hillary would give them a discount. She said, "That is with a discount."

[arcane1]

11. Yet she tried to pretend the fees were someone else's idea.

I'm starting to disbelieve every word she says at this point. It's the only rational position to assume she's not being truthful.

[lob1]

12. If Hillary said "It's a nice day", I would fact-check it before I went out.

[elias49]

19. So "that's what they offered"?

No. That's what she insisted on. $300,000. Cheap!

[ljm2002]

21. So Goldman Sachs pays $225,000...

...and the University pays $300,000 with the special University discount? That's quite a deal.

Reminds me of chocolate rations for some reason...

[Herman4747]

35. UCLA shouldn't want her. It's a high quality university! n/t

[pnwmom]

45. Which would be paid to the Clinton Foundation. nt

[Mike__M]

3. She claims ownership

So what is there to "look into"?

[dorkzilla]

31. she has to look into the fireplace

where they were burnt after her statement last night.

[Mike__M]

37. Duh...I'm so stupid sometimes (n/t)

[frylock]

39. They'll magically turn up somewhere in a couple years, like those Rose Law Firm documents.

[global1]

4. What Do We Know About The 'Harry Walker Agency'?....

How do they fit into this?

[arcane1]

5. Here's their website. Kind of like a concert promoter, but for speakers

http://www.harrywalker.com/

[PonyUp]

20. Mmmmm..hummus...

When officials at the University of California at Los Angeles began negotiating a $300,000 speech appearance by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the school had one request: Could we get a reduced rate for public universities?

The answer from Clinton’s representatives: $300,000 is the “special university rate.”

The documents show that Clinton’s representatives at the Harry Walker Agency exerted considerable control over her appearance and managed even the smallest details — from requesting lemon wedges and water on stage to a computer, scanner, and a spread of hummus and crudité in the green room backstage.

[arcane1]

24. Yet no mention of her on their website. Interesting n/t

[PonyUp]

61. They scrubbed her page from their website. Must have used a cloth or something. n/t

[Dustlawyer]

32. Sounds just like the rock star concert contracts I used to review.

4 oxygen tanks with a special regulator for one, 20 pairs of new Hanes white Boxer briefs, size medium for another.

[whathehell]

52. Aw, geez..John Boenher's on it!

Nothing like the 'private rewards" from those 'public service' jobs.

[DanTex]

8. Doesn't it look evil? Evil!

[pnwmom]

41. No one here has ever seen a speaker or consultant contract before.

[Jarqui]

10. Scrubbed - Harry Walker wiped link to speaker Hillary Clinton

http://www.harrywalker.com/speakers/hillary-clinton

[global1]

14. Isn't There A Way Of Finding Scrubbed Pages?....nt

[Jarqui]

15. I tried some of the cache links .. gone nt

[global1]

18. Hmmmmm.... What Are They Hiding....

who are they trying to protect? This keeps getting more interesting. I guess we won't see the transcripts either.

[Fuddnik]

30. About 3 days after Hell freezes over.

[Mike__M]

38. Damn. Climate change.

[img][/img]

[jillan]

17. Hmmmm - wondering who anonymous is supporting for potus?

[stillwaiting]

42. If they are supporting Bernie, then NOW is the time to expose anything they might have.

Right now.

Of course, a lot has already been exposed about the differences between Hillary and Bernie.

[global1]

63. When I Clicked On Your Link Here's What I Got....

Could not find the requested document in the cache.

[Mother Of Four]

64. Well I hope someone saved it then

The cache must have updated. The page I had was from 2/04 - Just checked all my cache's and nada

Edited to add - There really wasn't much on there besides a description of her credentials. All the links that were embedded were defunct so there was no way to check fees etc. It wouldn't have done a lot of good anyway.

[ljm2002]

22. That's... interesting...

...yes it is!

I wonder if anyone downloaded it before it got scrubbed.

It shows that Hillary can be extremely efficient when something really matters to her.

[MineralMan]

23. She's not available as a speaker right now.

Why would they list her if she's not available?

[StandingInLeftField]

29. Bill's still represented...

but no SO

[RoccoR5955]

34. The scrubbed it good.

I can't even find it on the Wayback Machine. I can usually find most anything there.

[frylock]

40. Scrubbed? Like with a scouring pad or something?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

49. Bravo

[Fawke Em]

58. Give me some time.... I'm busy tonight, but I'll check tomorrow.

I'll check back here first to see if someone else found it, but there are ways to do it.

[PonyUp]

62. How can anyone support her with all the shit they keep hiding? Ridiculous. n/t

[99th_Monkey]

13. "Clinton requested ..."?? But Hillary said "Well, That's what they offered." nt

[arcane1]

25. Another day, another lie n/t

[Live and Learn]

16. K&R And thanks to our friend. nt

[Bjornsdotter]

26. Thanks to you

...and our friend!

[Helen Borg]

27. What? She has to cover travel expenses with that?

Outrageous!

[whathehell]

53. Well, she could make it flying coach and stayin in a Motel 6 like Bernie does, right?

Naahhh....I guess not. .

[ejbr]

33. ...

[Fawke Em]

59. Oh, I used to LOVE them so much! Martin Gore!

The grabbing hand, grabs all it can. Everything counts in large amounts.

[lostnfound]

55. I don't have a problem with her getting paid a lot to give speeches

I have a bit of a problem with getting paid a lot to give speeches in between holding public offices.

Her time is worth a lot. If she flies somewhere, prepares for the speech, pays her travel and assistants, and puts her name on the line as an affiliation with some company or institution.. Well, in power circles those things are worth a lot. Like sports celebrity endorsements. Just having a famous person as a speaker carries certain prestige.

But public servants ought to be held to a higher standard.
