No, her problem was the she could NOT be admitted to the bar because of her past criminal conviction, so she could only work as some sort of a "consultant" or a "paralegal", or, as it turned out, a tenured Professor of Law who was in constant contact with Steven Koch of Credit Suisse.

Thomas Ayers died June 12, 2007, but before then was a guru in IL politics which shocked me. He and Valerie Jarrett’s mother, Barbara Bowman were friends through the Erikson Institute. They also lived in the same neighborhood.
Soros has been funding the Shadow groups for sometime it seems. As of August 2004, the husband-wife team of George Soros and Susan Soros had contributed $13,120,000 to Shadow Party groups and operations, second only to Soros’ longtime friend and collaborator, insurance mogul Peter B. Lewis ($14,175,000). The third leading donor was Jane Fonda ($13,085,750), followed by Hollywood producer Stephen Bing in fourth place ($9,869,014). Other major funders of the Shadow Party include the Tides Foundation and the Open Society Institute.
During the 1990s, Soros had grown close to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Their ascension to power gave him easy entreé to Washington elites of a sort he had long coveted but never enjoyed. Soros became the Clintons’ unofficial envoy to Russia and to other former Communist states. The assignment proved lucrative for him. Soros made a fortune in the so-called “Russiagate” phenomenon – the orgy of backroom “privatization” deals and Russian junk bond issues which Clinton officials such as Strobe Talbot, Al Gore and Lawrence Summers helped foster in the former USSR.

There is a lot of background on that site that connects some dots but what is missing is the Minow family and Steven Koch which needs tied into the picture. I have this horrible feeling these are all part of the puzzle pieces that are dropping in faster now.
Tom Ayers and Minow were good friends and served together on the Northwestern Board of Trustees (Ayers was also head of the Board at one time) and found this:
best guess is that it would have been Tom Ayers who vetted Obama to Sidley and that would have helped him get the attention of someone like Newton Minow. (And that would come in very handy later in Obama’s career as Kaufman suggests but not just because of the fund raising that Minow could help with but perhaps also helping with an introduction to the Kennedy family, whose recent endorsement of Obama came at such a critical moment in his campaign.)
You have Ayers, Minow, and Koch all involved at Northwestern University along with Bernadette Dohrn. My guess is that Northwestern may be the tie that binds a lot of this together.
I’m a bit tired and bleary-eyed, so I’m kind of just skimming it. This appears to be a GOOD one! I’ll ping the list... thanks, FRiend. :o)
These people have contacts with one another which go back decades.
Thank you for your research, and welcome to FR, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo.
Thanks for the heads up on this thread, Bigg Red.
PING to FRiends: Take it viral - Pass this info onto everyone you know!
Read. Not a ping for the list.
Thanks for the ping!

Thanks Ernest and STARWISE.

SAAD has put together an interesting thread. I always wondered why Goldman Sachs lived and Lehman Brothers died. Also so many former GSers in the Fed and Treasury Maybe the answer lies in this post.
It's probably there somewhere... But now that we know all this, so what? The flaw in the logic here is that we know Ayers and Co. want to destroy the American way of life. But Goldman and Co. want to keep their own gravy train going. Where is the connection? Doesn't that gravy train depend on Americans and their hard work, creativity, and independence that Ayers is trying to destroy? Or are they all simply trying to establish an autocracy where they can live off the spoils for the rest of their lives?
Second question is what can we do about it? The vast majority of voters have no clue about this stuff. Even if they did, who would they vote for? Why would their vote matter at all?
It’s going to be a LONG three years ...
Thanks for the ping! Welcome to FR Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo! I look forward to reading all of your links.
You’re welcome, thecodont.
Bump.
Can anyone explain dark pool trading in very simple layman’s terms? I get lost on technical explanations of investment/trading lingo, although I do understand the basics. I think this may be something that we all need to be more familiar with in the coming months.

Here are some things I put together over time that I considered to be relevant in some manner or another and Soros is at the very bottom:

Now when I look back to late 08, I see a lot of interesting things:

To this very day, I feel there is something strange about the Paulsen advice to Bush to do the first bailout. Paulsen is a Goldman Sachs guy and so is Schumer. (They are both Democrats) Remember Schumer caused a run on IndyMac late June of 08. I don’t think he is a dumb guy.

I see Goldman Sachs made out like a bandit in the outcome of all of this. I do not know for sure, but I look backward and forward to now and it all makes me wonder. I just did a Google search and found this:

Is Goldman eyeing failed IndyMac?
Per Rep Paul Kanjorski, Democrat, Pennsylvania:
On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.
Published September 23, 2008 at 2:26 PM
With Goldman Sachs Group Inc. converting itself to a bank holding company to strengthen its future, the New York-based financial institution is said to be on the prowl for deposits, but not necessarily an entire bank. Such speculation has led some in the media to ask whether Goldman could be looking to acquire the assets of failed IndyMac Federal Bank, which has fallen under the control of the FDIC.
