In a hacked email, ex-Clinton aide Doug Band claims Marc Mezvinsky traded on family ties to help his fund.
Chelsea Clinton's husband used his connections to the Clinton family and their charitable foundation to raise money for his hedge fund, according to an allegation by a longtime Clinton aide made public Sunday in hacked documents released by WikiLeaks.
Marc Mezvinsky extended invitations to a Clinton Foundation poker event to rich Clinton supporters he was courting as investors in his hedge fund, and he also relied on a billionaire foundation donor to raise money for the fund, according to the WikiLeaks documents. They also assert that he had his wife Chelsea Clinton make calls to set up meetings with potential investors who support her family's political and charitable endeavors.
The documents — a memo and an email — were written in late 2011 and early 2012, respectively, by ex-Clinton aide Doug Band. They were sent to family confidants including John Podesta, who is now serving as Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman, and Cheryl Mills, who was Clinton's State Department chief of staff.
Comment: While the U.S. has gone on endless tirades about Russian hacking, anyone with two firing neurons knows that it is the NSA who is the world's premier cyber-terrorist. Yet, we don't see Russia flailing and thrashing away about NSA hacks. In fact, they don't even mention them. This underscores the Russian way of how they deal with their problems, which is the opposite of how the world's drama queen, the United States, inflicts crisis upon their people.
