Except never while in office. Also public speaking is pretty lucrative if you are good at it.

See, that’s how bribes and corruption often work. Corporations give you a bunch of money while you’re not in power, and then when you are in power you enact policies that favor them. Also, the sky is blue.

That's an interesting argument. So you think the corporations paid her above a reasonable rate in the hopes that she would (1) be later elected to office and (2) would return the favour? And you have evidence of this? Because Republicans tried *very* hard to find some during her 2016 campaign.

Do you really need me to explain bribery? It is clear that the Dems were/are in bed with Wall Street--look at the bailouts Obama orchestrated during/after the crash in '08. Look at the people they appoint to the Treasury/Fed? Nearly all have major corporate ties to banking/finance. GOP bad 2.

Weird how I asked if you had evidence and you offered to explain bribery. I've heard the conservatives claim Clinton is corrupt for decades, and they never seem to have any evidence either.

Evidence she collected millions from Wall Street for "speeches" after she left office? Do you not know how to use google? As for evidence it influenced her decision making, we know that's not possible because she was such a disliked candidate that she lost to a goon like Trump.

So no evidence of corruption. Well I guess the search continues.
