Oh what to make of it all...

Akin Gump's corporate and securities practice is among the firm's largest, numbering over 150 lawyers firmwide. The group handles a variety of sophisticated corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, international transactions, corporate finance and securities, venture capital and corporate restructuring, and also represents clients on general corporate matters. The firm's public law and policy practice is one of the largest and most diverse in the country. Clients include small businesses, non-profit corporations and Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. and abroad. In 1997, the firm's energy and corporate practices played a central role in restructuring The Caspian Pipeline Consortium in order to finance a $2.2 billion project to build a pipeline from Russia to the Black Sea—the largest privately funded infrastructure project in Russia's history.

Here is some more..

Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1945, and has considerably expanded geographically since that time. With over 280 lawyers, the Washington office is the largest of the firm's eleven offices. All the offices have been strategically integrated over the past several years to create the tenth largest firm in the nation. Akin Gump's D.C. lawyers are well-connected in both major political parties, and many have distinguished themselves in governmental service. Not surprisingly the firm does significant work in the public law and politics area. The firm's big name partners include founder Robert Strauss, former chair of the Democratic National Committee and Ambassador to Russia; Vernon Jordan, close personal confidante of President Clinton and former President of the National Urban League; Don Alexander, former Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service; Bill Paxon, former U.S. Representative from New York; and Don Livingston, former General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

search for MDS Capital. Read about the company, who is on the board...senior officers...etc. Then read this.

After that, then search google for
MDS Capital Clinton

There is an islamic site that mentions MDS, but in a different context. It is here

You could spend days trying to read all this...

Akin Gump is a huge, huge law firm... they are involved in everything from IP to Environmental Law to Corporate Law, you name it. It is hard, if not impossible, to peg them ideologically, regardless of Vernon Jordan's being a part of it.

it was repped by the best-connected law firm in Washington, Vernon Jordan's Akin Gump.

Vernon Jordan? That impeccable man of superior character? That charitable, lend-a-hand whenever there's an intern in trouble Vernon Jordan? Vernon Jordan the high-profile black attorney in Washington who was a close personal friend of Bill Clinton? I don't believe it. Racism.

...does this REEK or what?

Where else do these names lead, one wonders...
Perhaps there's a verifiable connection to MoJo White, Teamsters ie RCarey & if we're lucky?
The Jackpot: Terry "The Scoop" McAuliff.

Although I'm just a country boy, & wouldn't have so-much as a best-guess as to just how this pack of theives would've married together; other than, the Democrats, their DNC & the power to make our laws the Leftist criminal enterprise wielded for eight very long years??
