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

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.

Improper?? For the Clinton’s to be doing something improper is like the sun rising at day break.

Gambling on bailout of Greece. That is gambling.
Greece needs to be cast off and figure out how to survive on their own.

No wonder GB wants out of the EU.

[Farmer Dean]

And old Sid’s right in the middle of the action.Again.

Without the MSM protecting them, the Clinbtons are nothing.

But because the MSM is protecting them, they can get away with everything.

[Brian Griffin]

The Greeks enjoyed spending all that money.

If the EU would be so kind as to give Greece about 20 billion Euros more, the Greeks will give the EU back half and spend the rest on German cars and other goodies.

The Greeks are more than willing to help lower German unemployment.

Yup. Whenever there is a Clinton misdeed in action Sid Vicious is always there.

Is it possible that all of the Clintons/Medsvinskis will get indicted?

Be still, my heart!

[AppyPappy]

Everyone lies about sex. Let’s move on

[Brian Griffin]

There are limits to German banking stupidity.

Clinton avarice has no limit.

More solids for the cesspool that is the Clinton Crime Family ping

I think Chelsea’s wedding was arranged. They didn’t want a person of integrity screwing with the family’s “Business”. Mezvinskys old man was a corrupt DemRat Congressman that did time, the Apple didnt fall to far from the tree.

Congratulations Barry, you now have a full on Banana Republic to add to your very short resume.

The House Benghazi committee thinks Hillary's the greatest.

But the Democrat minority report, fatuously entitled, “Honoring Courage, Improving Security, and Fighting the Exploitation of a Tragedy,” failed to include the conversation Hillary had post-Benghazi.

This is classic Clinton MO-—combining investments and death and destruction. Profiting off a tragedy-—it’s what the Clintons do best. Read on.

(EXCERPT) On September 15, in a telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, then-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.”

NOTE: According to the Washington Post, Nides, (1) was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, and, (2) at the same time, Nides was responsible for “communications with donors” for the Clinton Foundation.

Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Secy Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of Chelsea’s husband, her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky. (hat tip Judicial watch)

True, but it would have to be coordinated with Obama-— a handpicked candidate who would preserve/protect/further Obama’s “legacy” -— Biden/Fauxcahontas the obvious designated hitter.

Honest ta God...anymore of that "Clinton Solidarity" and I'll puke.

THE CLINTON SOLIDARITY ACT CAPTURED ON FILM
One Clinton lies and the other swears to it.

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

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

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
the VRWC." Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.

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

NOTE---Pres Clinton was a tax-paid employee using tax -paid offices .....
but the sucker claimed it was his business what he did there (groan).

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

Goldman Sachs was Hillary's prime target in the US Senate. more below

No worries. Chelsea doesn't care about money. So what if her husband emerges penny less, convicted and discredited? They still have LOVE, don't they?
