Former Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has decided to return to the public eye and tour around the country giving speeches.
According to the New York Post, Clinton signed on with the Harry Walker Agency, an agency that has gotten her at least $200,000 per speech in the past.
In 2016, The Daily Caller reported that the former secretary of state received a standard $225,000 for a short, 20-minute speech.

And according to the Advocate, the former Democrat presidential nominee has booked two appearances so far.
Her first appearance will be in mid-February in Manhattan , when the U.S. Postal Service uses New York’s annual Fashion Week to unveil a new series of stamps to honor fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. In late May, Clinton is scheduled to give the commencement address at her alma mater, Wellesley College.
But how credible is the former first lady after a failed presidential campaign and an FBI investigation? One would think that she would book more than two speeches in one year.

That might be why Clinton is also attempting to make money by writing a book. According to The Associated Press, Clinton was working on a book to be published in September that’s built around a compilation of favorite quotations she’s collected over her career.
“These quotes have helped me celebrate the good times, laugh at the absurd times, persevere during the hard times and deepen my appreciation of all life has to offer,” Clinton said in a statement, according to the AP.
But Clinton might have lost her credibility for millions of Americans when businessman Donald Trump was elected the 45th president by the American people. It will be interesting to see who is willing to pay money to hear advice from a corrupt politician who ran a failed presidential campaign that cost twice as much as her opponent spent.
With that kind of record, the proposed speaking tour looks like just a Clinton scam in the making — a woman with nothing worthwhile to say charging willing suckers big bucks just to listen.
