THE ACCOUNTANTS COMETH – AT 12:20 P.M. ET:   And they have Bill and Hill's numbers.  From CNN: 

(CNN) Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows.

In total, the two gave 729 speeches from February 2001 until May, receiving an average payday of $210,795 for each address. The two also reported at least $7.7 million for at least 39 speeches to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS, with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic 2016 front-runner, collecting at least $1.8 million for at least eight speeches to big banks.

The analysis was made at a time when Hillary Clinton has been under scrutiny for her ties to Wall Street, which has been a major focus of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail.

"What being part of the establishment is, is in the last quarter, having a super PAC that raised $15 million from Wall Street, that throughout one's life raised a whole lot of money from the drug companies and other special interests," Sanders said at Thursday's Democratic debate hosted by MSNBC.

COMMENT:  The Clintons are a business.  Those huge fees aren't paid to hear wisdom and advice.  They're paid to buy influence.  And you may be sure they've bought it.

Of greater concern are the huge "donations" made to the Clinton Foundation by foreign countries, especially Mideast dictatorships.
