Boom......that right there tells you so much about Hollywood....
and the conscienceless Democrats that sucked-up to the Monster-Stein.
Weinstein Company Board Member —— Marc Lasry —— resigned today in the wake of Thursday’s devastating New York Times report that outlines a pattern of Weinstein’s behavior stretching back at least two decades. Lasry is a billionaire hedge fund manager, CEO of Avenue Capital Group and a co-owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

<><>Chelsea Clinton’s first job was w/ Lasry’s hedge fund.
<><> Lasry got Chelsea’s hubby’s hedge fund off the ground.
<><> Lasry’s son, Alexander, worked for Obama’s Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett.
<><> Lasry’s daughter, Samantha, was a staffer for Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
(NOTE: Emanuel later became a top Clinton aide AND a Goldman Sachs lobbyist at the same time. Emanuel became Obama’s COS AND ran the Dept of Treasury at the same time......now he’s Chicago mayor.)
NY TIMES 2015 report——”For the Clintons a hedge fund in the family.”
EXCERPT When Chelsea’s hubby, and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.
The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton. Some have also contributed to the family’s foundation.
Identifying who put money into Eaglevale, a roughly $400 million fund that has had underwhelming returns for much of its brief history, is difficult because hedge funds do not publicly disclose their investors.
Still, the overlap between at least some of Eaglevale’s investors and backers of the Clintons illustrates how politics and finance can intersect and shows the fine line the Clinton family must navigate as their charitable and business endeavors come under scrutiny in an election cycle.

Mr. Lasry, a co-founder of the big hedge fund Avenue Capital and a longtime friend and financial backer of both the former president and Mrs. Clinton, said he invested $1 million in Eaglevale.
In an interview in his Park Avenue office, adorned with many photos of him with the former president, he said that he recommended that his relative by marriage, Craig Effron, another hedge fund manager, also invest in the fund.
“I gave them money because I thought they would make me money,” said Mr. Lasry, whose $13 billion firm was one of the first places Chelsea worked after graduating from Stanford.
A number of other investors reached by The Times declined to be interviewed.
Perhaps, it is appropriate time for a deep biographical summary covering each of the board members of the Weinstein Company.
It’s going to be a challenge for the Democrat fund raisers to navigate through the maze of third-rail bad-boys.
I’m kind of happy about the whole Harvey Weinstein affair, in the same way the liberals are happy about the Vegas shooting or any dead Soldier. Rats love it when they have a crisis to leverage, especially if it involves dead conservatives. Luckily, this one doesn’t involve any conservatives at all.
“It’s important to note that the Weinstein Company did not fire Harvey b/c
they just found out about their CEO’s serial abuse of women. They fired
him because the rest of us found out about it. Big difference.”
Ain’t it the truth. The tragedy is that Republicans view things in exactly the same way as Democrats. The RINO-rich GOP will not assault its own criminal element unless/until the American people find out about it.
