(June 4, 2016, 8:45 a.m.) -- The June 16, 2015 article on Politico.com at this link speaks for itself: "Clintons Charge Big Fees To Small Groups" -- stating in its opening paragraphs:

[Politico.com full text here.] When Condoleezza Rice headlined a 2009 fundraising luncheon for the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach, she collected a $60,000 speaking fee, then donated almost all of it back to the club, according to multiple sources familiar with the club’s finances.
Hillary Clinton was not so generous to the small charity, which provides after-school programs to underprivileged children across the Southern California city. Clinton collected $200,000 to speak at the same event five years later, but she donated nothing back to the club, which raised less than half as much from Clinton's appearance as from Rice's, according to the sources and tax filings.

LBREPORT.com wonders if the Sanders campaign, or the Trump campaign, will mention this, or if any other news outlets will ask about this, because Mrs. Clinton is (according to Long Beach City College communique to students/faculty) scheduled to come to Long Beach [Long Beach City College] on June 6, just hours before polls open in the nationally-watched CA presidential primary. [Caveat: no official confirmation from the Clinton campaign press office of the LBCC event as of 8:45 a.m. June 4.]
