Where Was the Outrage for the Hillary Clinton Speaking Fees?

Stupid Millerscum conveniently ignored the difference between a speaking fee paid to a private citizen and a huge (yuge!) gift given to a sitting President.

    Bullshit - she knew she would be running for President and had resigned as Secretary of State and did the money grab prior to the election with the knowledge that the money would ensure she would do favors for the companies she spoke at. -- DERRY, New Hampshire — Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton struggled Wednesday night to answer a question about why she took more than $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year. “Well, I don’t know. That’s what they offered,” she said when asked about the fees by CNN host Anderson Cooper in a forum televised by the network with less than a week away from the Granite State’s first-in-the-nation primary. --  Clinton had a lucrative turn on the paid speaking circuit after she stepped down as secretary of state -- https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/hillary-clinton-struggles-explain-600k-goldman-sachs-speaking-fees-n511041

Im waiting for you to get to the "illegal" part.     You did a good job showing the desperate, false equivalency part.  I'm putting illegal part below.  Note how nothing Hillary did falls into either article....but Trump's most certainly does.

 

And I'm cutting you some slack, David, because I understand you were building a bird house in shop class while the smart kids were learning about the Constitution.

What is the Emoluments Clause?

There are separate emoluments delineations in the U.S. Constitution. Both are aimed at preserving the independence of the president from influence from outside entities, including Congress, states and foreign governments.

 

Article I bars anyone holding government office from accepting any present, emolument, office or title from any “King, Prince, or foreign State,” without congressional consent.

 

Article II deals with domestic emoluments, noting that Congress can’t increase or decrease the president’s compensation during his term in office, and prohibits the president from receiving any emolument from the states.

     Well, moron, President Trump has not officially accepted the airplane, he IS waiting for congressional approval. Save your asinine outrage until there is verifiable reason for such. Now, go crawl back under the rock from whence you slithered from ....


You said his plane is the same thing as Hillary's civilian speaking fees.    Just clearing things up, sweet cheeks.

 

smile.  You learned something today.    Stop getting your info from social media and you might learn even more.    Tomorrow I can explain  how the square peg doesn't go in the round hole.

  I never said "the same" - don't put your lying words in my mouth. Try telling the truth - for once.

What a weasel. You didn't use those exact words, but that was exactly what you meant with your post. You said that Democrats should be outraged by both Trump's bribe and Hillary s fees.

 

You have no honor, weasel.

  Thank you for confirming what I actually said. Unlike you, I don't "infer" - I state exactly what I am saying - and unlike you lying liberals, I do not twist and make up false naratives about what others have said. I also never said "You said that Democrats should be outraged by both Trump's bribe and Hillary s fees"- you and other liars keep putting words in my mouth. Here is a suggestion - find a second or third grader to explain what others say before you respond with lies.
