So far nobody has substantiated the assertion that Hillary Clinton gave all her speaking fees (the ~$25million recently declared) to charity.

Q. Did Hillary Clinton donate all monies received from speaking fees to charity? [View all] delrem Jun 2015 OP

Her Charity Corporation. orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #1

Charity being the Clinton Global Initiative or whatever... Jumpin Jack Flash Jun 2015 #3

Can you prove that she gave all her speaking fees to the Clinton Foundation? delrem Jun 2015 #6

no. here cali Jun 2015 #9

I don't know what that means and don't consider it an answer. delrem Jun 2015 #4

LOL treestar Jun 2015 #65

no, she didn't. I posted a Vox piece about recent speeches she made for a cali Jun 2015 #2

That answer won't satisfy NanceGreggs. delrem Jun 2015 #5

no amount of proof would satisfy her, but here is the link about Hillary's fat pay days cali Jun 2015 #8

I think everyone knows about the fat pay days. delrem Jun 2015 #12

but all you have to do to blow that out of the water cali Jun 2015 #13

Yah well - did you scan the thread? delrem Jun 2015 #15

that makes no sense. when her speaking fees are for the foundation they go directly to it cali Jun 2015 #17

That's what I believe, and I think any normal person would believe. delrem Jun 2015 #18

it's bullshit and just kind of sad that anyone needs to deceive herself like that cali Jun 2015 #21

Do you have a link ... NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #29

Not conflating Bill and Hillary BainsBane Jun 2015 #32

That wasn't part of my question. I asked about Hillary's personal income only. delrem Jun 2015 #39

No problem. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #46

Let's reduce this to the issue in my OP. The question I asked. delrem Jun 2015 #47

You tell it, brother! NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #48

Are you going to provide a link to back your assertion about the IRS? peacebird Jun 2015 #63

Nope. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #73

In other words you assert something as FACT with no proof to back your words. Guess I don't need peacebird Jun 2015 #74

I didn't "assert" that HRC donates her speaking fees. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #75

Got nothing? Protip: you can use fewer words the next time you have no suitable response. DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2015 #71

No. Your claim was about Hillary's speaking fees. delrem Jun 2015 #52

Okay. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #50

Yes, I made a mistake on that particular. delrem Jun 2015 #51

Clinton herself waving $100 bills in front of Nance shouting "It's MINE all MINE!!" jeff47 Jun 2015 #69

.. Purveyor Jun 2015 #7

So a negative means a positive??? Gman Jun 2015 #10

Here you go. She made a lot of speeches for personal profit cali Jun 2015 #11

Your link ... NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #59

She declared it as income! delrem Jun 2015 #14

Money earned has to be declared okasha Jun 2015 #16

So you, too, claim that Hillary Clinton donated all her speaking fees to charity? delrem Jun 2015 #19

I don't claim anything beyond knowledge of the IRS rule. okasha Jun 2015 #20

Really. Then reread my OP, please, so you'll know what the issue is. delrem Jun 2015 #23

The OP you're responding to ... NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #33

I gathered as much. okasha Jun 2015 #36

I agree with you okasha. That form Hillary filed is almost identical to the one politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2015 #34

You do know that her tax returns are online, correct? leftofcool Jun 2015 #62

You can bet the the repukes will have a 'full accounting' if and when she becomes the nominee. Purveyor Jun 2015 #28

They look like fools Gman Jun 2015 #35

This isn't about the Clinton Foundation. delrem Jun 2015 #40

Why? Does it matter? Gman Jun 2015 #41

Yes. delrem Jun 2015 #49

I'm sure you'll find Gman Jun 2015 #68

Why would she? RB TexLa Jun 2015 #22

That wasn't the question either. delrem Jun 2015 #24

If you cared about that BainsBane Jun 2015 #31

Still no proof of the assertion. delrem Jun 2015 #37

My irony meter just flipped off its scale! leftofcool Jun 2015 #61

To those that say: "Well, it's her money!", here is my response. Bonobo Jun 2015 #25

So long as you realize that "it's her money" doesn't address the issue raised. nt delrem Jun 2015 #26

It is perceived as a defense. I am pointing out that it is no defense in my book. nt Bonobo Jun 2015 #27

The Clintons are worth billions? okasha Jun 2015 #44

You're right! It's ONLY 50 million. I was far off. Bonobo Jun 2015 #45

The poster just lost her husband BainsBane Jun 2015 #30

That doesn't repond to my question. delrem Jun 2015 #38

I can't believe she played that card. m-lekktor Jun 2015 #42

I thank you heartily for that reply, BB. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #43

Please provide a link ... NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #53

I already did. But you don't bother reading. delrem Jun 2015 #54

Uh, nice try. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #56

Bye. delrem Jun 2015 #57

Oh, no! NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #58

She does not donate the money, the money was never hers to donate. Exilednight Jun 2015 #60

Except she declared the income from those speeches. jeff47 Jun 2015 #70

Then it's still a donation. NanceGreggs Jun 2015 #76

... lamp_shade Jun 2015 #55

Doesn't matter what she did with it treestar Jun 2015 #64

Yes, she gave it all to charity. She amassed her fortune working at a Chipotle. Scuba Jun 2015 #66

+ 1000 Well Put !!!!!! orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #67

I'm no fan of either Hillary or giving speeches, but . . . Vinca Jun 2015 #72
