A List of Hillary Clinton’s Demands to Accept $300,000 for a University Speech

WapO used a Freedom of Information Act request to get an inside look at just what it takes to get Hillary Clinton to come speak at your university, beyond her fee of  $300,000, which is apparently the “special university rate.” 

Other demands included:

·        On the stage: lemon wedges, room temperature water, a carafe of warm/hot water, coffee cup and saucer

·        A computer, mouse, printer and scanner

·        Spread of hummus

·        Chairs with two long, rectangular pillows and two cushions to be kept backstage in case the former secretary of state “needed additional back support”

·        A teleprompter and “2-3 downstage scrolling monitors”

·        A special podium (her team rejected the podium that had been set up for her use)

·        Coffee

·        Tea

·        Room temperature sparkling and still water

·        Diet ginger ale

·        Crudité

·        Sliced fruit

·        Approval for any promotional materials

·        Recording is permitted “for archival purposes” and only a two-minute highlight video can be uploaded to YouTube

·        “Prestaged” group photos so that Clinton doesn’t have to wait “for these folks to get their act together.” The former secretary of state “doesn’t like to stand around waiting for people.”
