IF THIS IS TRUE…

….Hillary Clinton should not be looking for a running mate, she should be an inmate.

Excerpted from Peter Byrne’s article at foxnews.com:

In 2012, (Mark) 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.

A former Goldman Sachs broker himself, Mezvinsky formed Eaglevale Management with two ex-Goldman Sachs partners in October 2011. As a “global macro” firm, Eaglevale’s strategy is to seek profit opportunities in politically volatile situations. Mezvinsky set up several funds in the Cayman Islands, a secretive tax haven, with Goldman Sachs serving as Eaglevale’s prime broker and banker. The giant brokerage firm has a checkered history of manipulating the value of Greek debt to the detriment of Greece.

Could this stink more rancidly?  Let’s review the allegations:
 
-Hillary Clinton gave privileged – classified – information to her son in law and her husband which potentially could have provided them with windfall profits. You can stop right there. If she did, she should not be campaigning, she should be plea bargaining;
 
-Her son in law and his pals are from Goldman Sachs – the company that Hillary assures us she will rein in, even as she makes quarter-million-dollar-a-pop speeches to their people, the contents of which she refuses to make public (and media do not demand it. How nice of them);
 
-And her son in law set up funds in the tax-haven Cayman Islands; exactly the kind of tax-dodging Ms. Clinton assures anyone who will listen that she is dead against and will make life hell for anyone who does it.
 
Let me say it again. If this is true – and keep in mind that Mr. Byrne tells us this is not speculation, but can be found in newly released emails – Hillary Clinton should not be running for President, she should be consulting with legal counsel and trying desperately to cut a deal.
 
Politically, this is nothing short of a thermonuclear story.
 

Now: how will mainstream media cover it?

I have the tiniest sliver of hope that it will be covered properly…

…but full expectation that it won’t be.

We’ll see.

    Hillary Clinton should not be running for President, she should be consulting with legal counsel and trying desperately to cut a deal. ——- No need to, she is not a Republican.

    Now: how will mainstream media cover it? —– They won’t, she is not a Republican.

    Democrats don’t have to follow the law or answer for what they do.
    Just more examples of how powerful the media are. When you control what the majority of people believe, you can do just about anything.
