Want a MUCH more accurate term for Bill Clinton's 'speeches'? Here it is! (Includes bonus irony)

Newly released emails from Hillary’s time as secretary of state show some major “pay to play” coordination between Clinton’s State Department staffers and personnel at the Clinton Foundation. The examples are many:

$1.4 million for two speeches, paid for by an ally of the Nigerian president. https://t.co/rNY3uX6riA pic.twitter.com/XDRMMN380h

Nothing to see here!

Recall the State Department praising the progress of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan as the president’s ally invited Bill Clinton to give two speeches in exchange for $1.4 million dollars. The State Department’s generous assessment of Jonathan’s human rights record stopped after the last speaking gig for Clinton.

Referring to them as “speeches” just doesn’t quite do it justice:

Stop calling it "speeches" and start calling it what it really is: bribery dinner theater.https://t.co/yFacEvaweg

Maddeningly perfect!

And the bonus irony?
