They're not buying favors. They're buying access just like any lobbyist. The relevant thing to understand about HRC is that she's been heavily in the access selling business for about 25 years now.
Think about how much that would warp your worldview if a large bulk of the people you meet day-in and day-out for decades paid six figure sums to talk to you?
- pdabbadabba 11y agoThere's a lot right here, but I think you've got one crucial detail wrong. The recipients of Clinton's speeches hardly constitute the "large bulk" of the people she deals with every day. I think the more accurate phrase would be "tiny fraction" in the context of the rest of the Obama administration, professional advisers, staff, people met at official State Department functions, etc.
