"No. I don't think so," Clinton said in an interview with Bloomberg TV when asked about staying on the paid speaking circuit were his wife to win. "Because once you get to be president, then you are just making a daily story."

But Clinton added that he would not stop speaking publicly altogether: “I will still give speeches on things I’m passionate about.”

Meeting with lobbyists is much more profitable anyway.

If Hillary does win the WH, we’re all doomed. No need for speeches.

“Bill Clinton will have some tough decisions to make if Hillary Clinton wins White House, including whether to continue his lucrative paid speaking career.”

If Hillary doesn't win the White House Bill will be making a lot fewer $750,000 speeches. Few will pay Billy Jeff that kind of money if he and she doesn't have the shakedown power.

“Bill Clinton Might Stop Giving Paid Speeches If Hillary Wins The White House”

Nothing personal to you Oldeconomybuyer but this is nuts.
He would be totally wasting his time giving speeches when
there are literally billions to be made selling influence.
He would be the ultimate godfather.
