Clinton sought secret info on EU bailout plans as son-in-law's doomed hedge fund gambled on Greece

Hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky had friends in high places when he bet big on a Greek economic recovery, but even the keen interest of his mother-in-law, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wasn't enough to spare him and his investors from financial tragedy.

In 2012, Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs. The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared “protected” State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

That America’s top diplomat kept a sharp eye on intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank is not a problem. However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper. Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable.

That's just a nice way of saying that Clinton is a crook and a thief through and through.

I wonder if the $250,000,000 loss happened because sweet mother-in-law was too busy stealing $5000 worth of state department furniture? You can never have too many lamps...

A bailout, especially one that nobody else knows about, would increase your investment’s value tremendously. Buy low on the doom and gloom, sell high after the ‘unexpected’ bailout.

Thank you for the explanation.

Which shows how stupid Libs are, everyone knew that giving more welfare to a welfare state wasn’t going to produce anything.

[Jonty30]

Buy low. Sell high.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

When you look at all the things Hillary has done, and the wanton disregard for the law, it seems a joke that Martha Stewart and Leona Helmsley went to prison.

[RockyTx]

the strategy was to buy bonds at 10cents on the dollar(or euro),
and sell at 50 cents when the bailout materialized

It's a variation on Hitler's BIG LIE - "if the lie is big enough people will believe it because no one would lie on that scale."

The Clintons are running the BIG CORRUPTION... no one can believe they can possible be THIS CORRUPT.

But they are... they really are...

IMHO Money grubbing's a mental illness at this level of compulsion..

There isn't enough money in the world to satisfy Hillary's lust for it... The stealing to prove she can get away with it.. the thrill she can outsmart and outfox the rubes at State who don't have the power to take her on - - is an illness.

I'm guessing Hillary enjoyed going after Bill's women... she enjoyed taking down the 12 year old rape victim. There's something very twisted in her...

She's nuts.

And that's why she who has millions would steal from the State Department. It's why she took the furniture. The rules don't apply to her and if you think they do she'll steal your furniture to show you you're wrong. That's why she would risk all for money she doesn't need...

Fish swim. Birds fly. Clintons steal.

Did she e-v-e-r once consider the interests of the US?

Secy Hillary kept a sharp eye on valuable US intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank b/c her SIL’s hedge fund was heavily invested in Greece.

Consider that Hillary was likely colluding w/ her SIL’s financial backers——and her political backers -—— Goldman Sachs. SIL is just too dumb to finesse the Greek debacle for profit by himself.

Not incidentally, Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable.

I hereby declare Hillary persona no grata.......and an enemy of state.

[jazminerose]

If you’re Hillary, you need a good supply of spare lamps for throwing.

[GOPJ]

Did she e-v-e-r once consider the interests of the US?

Probably not... she's an odd duck.

I’m going back to sleep... nighty night Liz...

Secy Hillary kept a sharp eye on valuable US intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank b/c her SIL's hedge fund was heavily invested in Greece.

And don't forget Hillary sucking-up to Mideast oil billionaires for her SIL...as the bodies of four Americans lay brutally murdered in Benghazi.

============================================

(Excerpt) Read more at judicialwatch.org ... On September 15, in a telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, Secy Clinton emphatically portrayed the “stupid, very offensive film” as the root cause of the Benghazi violence.

Clinton told Amr, “I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film… But we have to exercise more self-discipline… otherwise we’ll be in a vicious downward circle against everyone who has ever felt offended, particularly on the internet….”

After referring to Benghazi, Secy Clinton’s telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr also contained a curious reference to what the former secretary referred to as a “very successful investment visit led by my deputy Tom Nides, and on the very day they left, this series of incidents began to unfold.”

According to the Washington Post, Nides, who was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, was at the same time responsible for “communications with donors” to the Clinton Foundation.

Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.

Were they part of the cause for ever propping the Greeks to the brink?

This is nuts.
