The Clinton Scandals will provide endless TV entertainment, which may be more like a reality TV show with the Kardashians. Most people think it will be Donald Trump. He may give us some frank insults that are badly needed now and then to keep people focused, but the Clintons will provide never ending intrigue and scandals. Now we have the new one involving Hillary’s hedge fund manager son-in-law who is the husband of Chelsea Clinton, who set up in 2012 a Greek bond fund with a special arrangement with none other than Goldman Sachs expecting a bailout to boost Greek debt values. Yep! Now hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky placed a huge big bet on a Greek economic recovery based upon political expectations of a bailout for Greece would go through. His Secretary of State mother-in-law allegedly seems to have been sharing classified information to help her son-in-law.
The 2012 Mezvinski $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners 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. His exclusive Greek debt fund suffered near-total losses with inside political info. Newly released emails from 2012 show that Hillary 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 who allegedly no doubt passed it on to their son-in-law who set up none other than a Greek bond hedge fund. Sharing such sensitive information with friends and family once again show how the Clintons work. Of course that is illegal and the SEC would normally throw such a hedge fund manager in prison and strip him of his license for none other than Insider Trading. You can bet he too gets a pass by the SEC as does Goldman Sachs if there is any connection with the Blumenthal emails. This just never ends.
Well Chelsea is a director of the Clinton Foundation. Hillary says she is the only one with a plan to deal with Wall Street, which we must assume is to give them inside information to trade with to offset any pretend fines while making the fines tax deductible (nobody else gets that privilege). The upside, if they keep betting that government deals and manipulations will win, well they may go broke because the free markets are not always acting as the insiders expect. Oops! Sorry about those Greek bonds.
Just maybe Bill Meeting with Lynch was not about the Hillary indictment, which is already fixed and made no sense. The Justice Department is ALSO investigating the Clinton Foundation. The Sidney Blumenthal emails are revealing a different layer. Bill may have been trying to head off that investigation into the Foundation, which could taint New York Bankers and other family members. The assumption it was all about the Hillary indictment is probably nonsense for there is no way they would have allowed Hillary to run for President if there would have been an indictment. That has all been fixed by Obama. There is the Blue Code where cops do not rat on cops; well Democrats have the same code in this case which has become notorious. If there was any possibility of an indictment, she would have to be on bail. Come on. No possible way Hillary gets indicted. That has been fixed to allow her to run. Obama will not torpedo his own party.
From the outset, Hillary was not well liked. Biden was under pressure to jump in. But as Hillary gained support, she was also creating her own get-out-of-jail free card. If she could muster enough popular support, it would become impossible for a Democrat to indict her. She could have killed the Pope sending a missile claiming it was for IS that went off course and it would be acceptable. All you have to do is listen to people like Cory Booker defend Hillary to see through the total BS.
This Bill Clinton meet with Lynch was about something else. My bet it was the Foundation and what is emerging from the Blumenthal emails.
It takes a special kind of stupid to drop that much cash trading on good inside information ...
I’m afraid after the FBI’s press conference this morning, we will be taught that the Clintoons never commit their crimes “intentionally”. They are just, “sloppy, sloppy, sloppy”. Just a bunch of incompetent oafs.
Chels and hubby are living the lifestyle of urban potentates. You know it’s taking a lot of Clinton Ca$h to keep that party going.
I so disagree...on the incompetent oafs part. They became sloppy just like every criminal that remains un-touched for decades. Eventually, they make a mistake.
Incompetent...hardly. The Clintons were able to build a political machine few ever dream of. These people are very dangerous. They have no true ideology, they seek power, money, position. Altering the message when and where the wind blows....to remain in power.
I truly believe their biggest downfall...not yet realized, will be their foundation and the money laundering through it. Like has been said, “It's not the crime, it's the coverup”.
That’s what I was thinking! Wow!
I’m afraid you’re exactly right.
Chelsea's FIL, Ed Mezvinsky, is a former Democratic congressman; he sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He was outspoken, saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and the nation and should be impeached.
Later, Mezvinsky served seven years in a federal prison for stealing money from his friends, family and associates through a series of crude Nigerian-based scams. Sap-happy Mezvinsky was targeted as a likely subject for the infamous Nigerian black ink scam.
Edward, a lawyer, was married when he met Chelsea's MIL, Marjorie----they soon got married---but divorced after Edward got conned into several notorious Nigerian-based email financial frauds guaranteed to make you rich.
In his haste to get rich quick, to raise money to get in on these "heaven-sent" investment schemes, Edward defrauded many of his friends and business contacts.....including Marjorie's mother.
Alas, when the Nigerians got their hands on Ed's money, they did a 23-skidoo. Having failed to come up w/ payback, Edward got nabbed by the long arm of the law. Mezvinsky pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony counts. He did hard time----spent 7+ years in a federal prison w/ no chance of parole, and still owes $10 million in restitution.
Democrat Congressional 2014 candidate Marjory Margolies is also no stranger to the dollar disease. Because of her husband's felony convictions, she filed for bankruptcy. But the court would NOT discharge her of her debts, finding that she could NOT explain where some $1 million in assets had vanished, in the previous 4 year span...during Mezvitsky's crime spree.
In their heyday, Ed Mezvinsky and then-wife Marjorie, herself a former Democratic congresswoman from Pennsylvania (an ex-TV reporter---and recent election loser), were part of the political and social elite in Philadelphia.
The Mezvinskys were close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at the White House. Prosecutors say Mezvinsky exploited his ties to the Clintons, including his son's relationship with Chelsea, to woo investors to contribute more money to the Nigerian schemes.
In an interview with Des Moines Register from prison in 2003, Mezvinsky said he found the notoriously fraudulent Nigerian Black Ink scam "convincing."
"The Nigerian man came out with a chemical, threw it on the money, and it all turned to $100 bills. He gave me 10 to have them tested back home. And they were real," Mezvinsky told a reporter.
LOSSES GALORE: 2014 candidate Marjorie was flacked by the Clintons but lost her bid to get back into Congress.
=======================================
REFERENCE Mezvinsky, who married Chelsea Clinton in 2010, founded the investment firm Eaglevale Partners two years later with the help of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter. Billionaire investor and Democratic megadonor Marc Lasry was also an early investor in Eaglevale.
The firm, which manages about $330 million in total, is down 1 percent on the year, which is slightly worse than average for hedge funds. Since its inception, Eaglevale has posted what the New York Times described as “uneven performance.” Mezvinsky’s financial trouble is unlikely to concern wife Chelsea, who has said she could never bring herself to care about money. That didn’t stop her from turning down a $600,000 annual salary at NBC News to do basically nothing except interview the Geico gecko from time to time.
The money-losing couple lives in a luxury $10 million luxury condo in Manhattan’s trendy Flatiron District.
I sincerely hope the two Clinton grandkids can grow up to be honest and trustworthy people. It’ll be a hard task with corrupt parents and criminal grandparents in their lives.
Clintonian = corrupt to the core
How embarrassing would it be to lose tens of megabucks insider trading and end up in prison to boot. Ooops... but then again, look at that face!
Well, I think she IS sloppy, but the poster meant they have wriggled out of many messes by using it as an excuse. Like Sandy Berglar who “forgot” he had put incriminating documents in his socks because he’s sloppy and absent minded.
He always looks like he hasn’t had a shower in weeks!
Who says it was lost, or even invested? It could be a madoff type situation.
It should be investigated
>Depending on what the meaning of IS...is.
>What, like wipe it with a cloth?
>I did not send or receive any messages marked classified.
They do play the stupid game. Their base sucks it up hook, line and sinker. Speaks to the voters intellect does it not.
Remember when Hillary stood before a black crowd...I believe in a Southern black church and put on this dumb @$$ chitlen and hog jowl black accent.
“Ain't nobody told me no” “I ain't no wayz tired”
The crowd cheered her. Doesn't give one a warm fuzzy about the electorate now does it?
For a couple hundred grand I would have told the kid that the Greek bailout wasn’t going to happen. :-)
Chelsea’s hubby may end up sharing a cell with his prisoner Daddy.
There’s just no end to this bitches corruption.
Traitors are surrendering US land to Russians, Uranium for speaking fees!
Charlotte Hubbell-Mezvinsky has an interesting set of forebears.
Two of her grandparents are convicted felons.
Plus an impeached POTUS as step grandad.
And of course granny Hillary should be in the slammer too.
