Wall Street has made Hillary Clinton a millionaire


As Clinton tries to talk tough about how she will stand up to America's biggest banks, her Democratic rivals are likely to remind voters just how cozy she's been with Wall Street.

Clinton made $3.15 million in 2013 alone from speaking to firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and UBS, according to the list her campaign released of her speaking fees.

"Her closeness with big banks on Wall Street is sincere, it's heart-felt, long-established and well known," former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has said on the campaign trail.

While Clinton has given paid speeches to many groups, Wall Street banks and investment houses made up a third of her speech income.

2. And tens of millions more have flowed from the Saudis and Gulf states.

These are states that are notorious for bribery of western politicians on a huge scale. Google: al-Yamamah

9. well, in the 2008 campaign Mark Penn wanted HRC to model herself after Margaret Thatcher. nt

14. New Labour was also on the pad as was Clifford and some other worthies

Hence, the Poodle burying the Major Crimes investigation of BAE slush funds and kickbacks to Bandar.

But this really goes back to 1976 and the Safari Club deal between outgoing DCI Bush, Princes Adnan and Turki and the heads of 4 or 5 western intel agency to spinoff and privatize black operations to the Saudis and BCCI. Hillary did a good job when Stephens lawyered up after the Worthing National Bank takeover by BCCI. Bill was useful to the Iran Contra operation, another BCCI program.

Hell they all practically adopted each other: Poppy, the Clintons, Bandar and Bill's roommate at Georgetown, Prince Turki, and the Poodle.

I would say that earning fees from speeches is a good sight more honorable than intentionally defrauding a large bank by listing a one million dollar endowment as an asset on your college's balance sheet when you know darn well that the person who left the endowment is still alive. And then accepting a $200,000 golden parachute after the loan goes south, and the college damn near fails. Just saying. . . .

10. Precisely. Thank you. n/t

16. Does Hillary have a dandruff problem?

17. Bernie supporters are now diagnosing medical conditions?

WOW .. just WOW

18. No-I was just asking as I see her dusting off her shoulder a lot in these HRC posts.

4. And then again, how much of an uptick did the "Charity Foundation" that Bill C oversees

Experience while Senator Hillary Clinton helped out Wall Street?

How is it that the one and only Clinton offspring, Chelsea, has the ability to be a hedge fund manager, and so, she was in a position to oversee billions of dollars in Corporate Investment Accounts.

For their continued services rendered.

8. Hey, she was "flat broke" when she left the Whitehouse!

What did you expect her to do?

[NorthCarolina]

11. I would tend to think that even Hillary supporters know the score, even

if they don't publicly acknowledge it. It's pretty undeniable because the numbers are the numbers. The difference is, they don't care.

12. Good for her. You people should learn that hating causes premature aging.

[merrily]

13. In the first 7 years after leaving the White House, she and Bill had income of over $100 million.

Repeat: that's income, not total net worth.

15. It's just because they have so much respect for women and support a women's rights crusader ...

Women At Merrill Lynch Were Instructed To Seduce Their Way To The Top, Lawsuit Alleges

New details have emerged from a bias lawsuit filed by three former employees of Merrill Lynch against the company, which alleges that during training they were instructed to read a book called “Seducing the Boys Club: Uncensored Tactics From a Woman at the Top” and emulate its advice.

The tips in the book, published by New York Magazine’s The Cut, are truly shocking. “I play on [men’s] masculine pride and natural instincts to protect the weaker sex,” says a section of the book advising women on how to get men to do their work. “Unless he is morbidly obese, there is no man on earth who won’t puff up at this sentence: Wow, you look great. Been working out?” suggests a portion on diffusing tense situations.

...

These demeaning and rather tragic pieces of advice might well be a reality for many women on male-dominated Wall Street. It’s a known Boys’ Club, and Wall Streeters have a track record of using women as scapegoats, instead of treating them as equals. Women are vastly underrepresented in the finance industry — much more so than in other areas — and hold only 8.6 percent of executive officer jobs. Women also earn less than men in finance; the top six jobs with the biggest pay gaps are financial.

19. She's Wall St. all the way

I guess.

20. Wow! Good thing the next debate is scheduled for the opening weekend of Star Wars...
