Board of directors
As of February 2016, the board of directors is:
Jeff Bezos, President, CEO and Chairman Tom Alberg, Managing partner, Madrona Venture Group John Seely Brown, Visiting Scholar and Advisor to the Provost at University of Southern California Bing Gordon, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Jamie Gorelick, partner, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr Judy McGrath, former CEO, MTV Networks Alain Monié, CEO, Ingram Micro Jon Rubinstein, former Chairman and CEO, Palm, Inc. Thomas O. Ryder, former Chairman and CEO, Reader's Digest Association Patty Stonesifer, President and CEO, Martha's Table Wendell P. Weeks, Chairman, President and CEO, Corning Inc.
Even RINOs are 'very close to Soros,' so that's a no-brainer.
Anyone who knows more than you cares. WTF kind of idiot are you anyway?
I’m saying that Gorelick got the job because of Soros. Why else would Bezos want such a radioactive loser on his company’s board?
Point well taken. That is the kind of thing that made me so interested in this factoid. Almost everyone else on that board is a corporate CEO who brings (presumably) real world business expertise to Amazon’s board.
Gorelick is the only obvious “political” appointment there, and with no evident qualifications except political influence among Democrats.

Jared Kushner, Beware of Jamie Gorelick
The article concerned Jared Kushner’s appointment as adviser to his father-in-law Donald Trump.
The appointment did not trouble my friends. What troubled them was the Post’s casual mention that Kushner’s attorney was none other than Jamie Gorelick, deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton. Observed the Post, Gorelick “is confident that the anti-nepotism statute does not cover Trump’s appointment of Kushner.”
Nepotism was the thrust of the article. The Post made no allusion to the concerns my friends and I have about this relationship. I assured them that Kushner probably does not know Gorelick’s history. I write this to make him aware of why bloggers have taken to calling Gorelick, “The Mistress of Disaster.”
Some recent highlights. In 2014, it was revealed that the George Soros-funded Urban Institute had an officially sanctioned role in the vetting of non-profits that seek tax-exempt status through the IRS. Gorelick was the vice-chairman of the Urban Institute board.
In 2011, she represented Duke University in its attempt to squash a suit by lacrosse team members whose lives had been turned upside down by false rape accusations that the university aided and abetted. In 2010, Gorelick represented BP in the Deepwater Horizon oil mess. It gets worse, much worse.
In 1993, as deputy attorney general under President Clinton, Gorelick served as “field commander” for the horrific government assault on a religious community in Waco, Texas, that left more than eighty dead, twenty of them children.
In 1995, she went on to pen the infamous “wall” memo that prevented the FBI and CIA from sharing information in the run-up to September 11. At the time, a dismayed FBI investigator wrote a memo to headquarters which included the sentence, “Someday someone will die — and wall or not — the public will not understand why we were not more effective.”
In 1996, Gorelick stepped up her game, taking a lead role in the investigation of the TWA Flight 800 disaster. This was the 747 that inexplicably blew up off the coast of Long Island in July 1996 killing 230 people.
As deputy attorney general serving under a feckless Janet Reno, Gorelick’s assignment was to rein in the FBI. Five weeks into the investigation, she summoned FBI honcho Jim Kallstrom to Washington and served up a dose of political reality. To be sure, no account of the Aug. 22 meeting provides any more than routine detail, but behaviors began to change immediately afterwards.
Six years and an incredible $25.6 million later, having done her share to wreck the American economy, Gorelick responded to the call of duty once more and took just one of five Democratic seats on the 9/11 Commission.
During the 2004 Commission hearings, CIA Director George Tenet first addressed the “wall that was in place between the criminal side and the intelligence side.” Tenet made that barrier sound impenetrable.
“What’s in a criminal case doesn’t cross over that line. Ironclad regulations,” he insisted. “So that even people in the Criminal Division and the Intelligence Divisions of the FBI couldn’t talk to each other, let alone talk to us or us talk to them.”
In her response to Tenet, Gorelick acknowledged the wall and claimed to have used “brute force” in her attempt to penetrate it, but she took no responsibility for its creation. The task of assigning credit was left to Attorney General John Ashcroft.
“The single greatest structural cause for Sept. 11 was the wall,” said Ashcroft. “Full disclosure compels me to inform you that its author is a member of the commission.” That author, of course, was Gorelick, the same official who oversaw the cooperation of the FBI and the CIA in the corruption of the TWA 800 investigation.
As the nation learned in the aftermath of 9/11, the “wall” that was breached all too easily to protect the secrets of TWA 800 held much too firmly when it came to the secrets of our enemies.
Jared, don’t trust her! If need be, I would be happy to sit in a room with Ms. Gorelick and hash this out.
Trump trusts them.
“Time to boycott Amazon.”
I made the decision to do that last year. Never been a Starbucks customer and don’t have a Facebook account either.
Don’t feed the beasts.
Yeah, well, he shouldn’t. They are liberal Democrats. Liberals who had the terrible judgment make the loathsome Jamie Gorelick privy to much information she shouldn’t have.
