$260,000 speaking fee from the New York chapter of the American Camping Association ?

Camping Assoc., Seriously? Seem the Hill was doing some speaking to finance ger testing of the waters" for her campaign(even tho she and everyone else knew she was running).

"..During this period, Clinton collected $674,500 for three speeches in Canada on Jan. 20 and 21, 2015 (one of them paid for and two of them co-sponsored by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.) On March 11, 2015, she received $315,000 for a speech to eBay employees in San Jose. That was followed by a $260,000 payment from the New York chapter of the American Camping Association for a talk in Atlantic City on March 19, her last speech before her April 12, 2015, formal announcement that she was a candidate. (Clinton began writing checks to her campaign the next day, on April 13.)..
..But she said the most problematic talk appeared to be the final speech before the camping association. The group is a small nonprofit whose $260,000 payment to Clinton (more than the $225,000 she received for talks to the Bank of America or Morgan Stanley) amounted to more than 10 percent of the group’s $2.1 million budget."

260 grand from a camping group!? WOW! oh wait, maybe this explains it

"..The key figure who arranged the talk was the group’s former president, Jay Jacobs, a prominent summer-camp entrepreneur. He is also the Nassau County Democratic Party chairman, a million-dollar donor to the Clinton Foundation and a Clinton campaign bundler who is throwing a major fundraiser tonight at one of the six camps he owns, the North Shore Day Camp, in Glen Cove on Long Island."

I know it's not illegal, shady, maybe a bit slimy, but not illegal.

I live in Nassau county. The only thing slimier that Jacobs and the Democratic Party are Nassau Republicans. The Republican Leader of the State Senate, Nassaus own Dean Skelos was just convicted of many counts of corruption. The Republican County leader and his cadre are under investigation by so many groups- the FBI, NY State, Nassau DA and the SEC that they are fighting over who gets first bite of the apple. One of the leading patrons is sitting in jail, supposedly singing his ass off, and another just survived an assassination attempt, shot in they eye in the driveway of his Castle.The road into his castle has several cameras, and there are four red light cameras on the main road within a half mile of Oheka Castle. His security system malfunctioned just before the shooting, and in an amazing co-inky-dink- the red light cameras went out at almost the exact same time. Jacobs and the Democrats have their own issues, but as they aren't in power, their abuses are of a lesser magnitude. A couple of years ago, the County Legislature agreed to allow day campers from NYC use parts of our parks a few days a week. It turned out those camps were all controlled by Jacobs. He was set to profit over a half million dollars by leasing our parks to his camps. All a big misunderstanding. He has his hands in so many day camps he didn't realize the camps in question were his.
NY Politics is a contact sport.

Only $260,000? Boiler reported on this same topic a few weeks ago and stated she receives three times that per price speaking engagement, somewhere around $700,000 per speech.

Boiler came back and admitted his error. He also listed the Clinton's total speaking fees, which I can't recall, but it was something close to $150,000,000 from 2007-2014. No one corrected me on that number.

Hillary's a crook, Bill's a crook, Mushy knows it, and Mushy doesn't care. Hillary's a liar, Mushy knows, and Mushy doesn't care.

Mushy Don't Care.

Damn this is a funny thread.

And Boiler you can understand why I wouldn't have returned to a thread that kicked off with such wild exaggerations. So if you corrected yourself I wouldn't have seen it.

So Hillary and Bill collected over $150 million in an 8 year stretch on speaking fees averaging $211,000 per talk, and you claim that my suggestion that she collected $700,000 in some talks was way out of line. How funny you are.

Absolutely. I mean the difference between $211,000 and 700,000 is a rounding error.

I'll talk to the campers for a few bucks, airfare and a good meal. Can't beat that.

It's just that we did this exact same thread a few weeks ago but at triple the speaking fee.
