AND THIS---(Excerpt) Read more at judicialwatch.org ... On September 15, in a telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, 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.”
According to the Washington Post, Nides, who was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, was at the same time responsible for “communications with donors” to the Clinton Foundation. Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.
===============================================
Mezvinsky's $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners hedge fund lost tens of millions of dollars. Mezvinsky's exclusive Greek debt fund suffered near-total losses....and ended up shuttering the disastrous hedger.
It takes a special kind of stupid for Mezvinsky to drop that much cash trading on good inside information from Hillary and the State Dept gofers. Then again, "special kid of stupid"....sure does describe the Mezvinsky family. Read on.
=================================================
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.
Liz, I read the whole post. When Hillary tells the Egyptian that she’s had an investment of unknown kind, I immediately wondered if it had to do with Libyan gold reserves? We’ve focused so much on arms smuggling, but Hillary’s biggest love in life is wealth. Any info about this?
