Do you think Hillary should release the transcripts for her Wall Street speeches?
First of all, I'd bet that it's 90+% the same speech each market segment. It would be logical for anyone to give basically the same speech to all bankers, to all commencements, to all groups in the same industry.
Next, the price is what the market bears. Hell, Lewis Black gets up to $150,000 for corporate events. Jon Stewart would get more. Hell in 2012, Keanu Reeves got paid a minimum of $250,000 for a personal appearance (

Trump gets $1,500,000 for a speaking engagement.
The concept that Hillary charged an outrageous amount of money is ludicrous.
It's also ludicrous to think that for $225,000 anyone would get extra access when anyone with the money and an event could have hired her for evening. Plus, due to the insane CU ruling, she'll be raising multiple billions for the race. $225,000 is 1/50th of 1% of $1B.
