Do you think Big Banks would pay a person 250k-600k to hear about world affairs & Bin Laden raids ?

4. I would be glad to read the transcripts

but I don't think the content would much matter.

I think that the former SOS is probably not far off the truth in saying she gave a bland version of her experiences. I can't imagine that she gave salacious red meat evisceration diatribes against the middle class or any such horned beast type nonsense.

What matters, and what we're maybe all thinking, is that the hushed "thank yous" and "you're welcomes" that were uttered when the money actually changed hands, or perhaps when the speaking engagement was arranged, is of much more substance.

After all, we're implying that the fees were payment for influence. It's that simple. She needn't give a speech on how she's "totally going to hook it up for the big banks" in order for that to be true.

I could be wrong but I think that the fact that she hasn't denied taking the fees or their amount is enough.

I don't need to see any transcript to make my decision.
