Now I Know Why The SOS Hillary Doesn't want Her Transcripts Released - Case in Point

[pnwmom]

16. Transcripts of paid speeches have never been released by any male candidate, but tax returns

have been released by all of them for decades.

And, no, it isn't true that no male candidate in the past has ever had a paid speech. No one ever cared about a man being paid for his speeches. That's just a special requirement for Hillary.

Until 1990, it was even legal to take money for speeches while you were sitting in Congress. Kerry and many others did.

WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kerry took a small amount of political action committee money during a race for the House three decades ago, and later collected more than $120,000 in speaking fees from companies and lobbying groups as a new senator, records show.

Between 1985 and 1990, the year Congress outlawed speaking fees, Kerry pocketed annual amounts slightly under the limits for speaking fees by lawmakers, according to annual financial disclosure reports reviewed by Associated Press.

The fees came from interests ranging from Democratic groups and unions to oil companies and liquor lobbyists.

Kerry's ethics reports show he made more than 90 paid speeches between 1985, when he first took office, and 1990, when Congress began the move to end honoraria.
