Goldman Sachs Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving... To The Clintons

Tyler Durden's picture

By now we all know that Goldman Sachs is the gift that keeps on giving to the Clintons. Whether it's paying millions out for speeches, investing in family member's failing hedge fund ventures, or donating hundreds of thousands to the Clinton Foundation, Goldman seems to be keeping a close relationship with the family.

What's a more fun development to watch (other than to see Lloyd Blankfein lose money invested with a Clinton son-in-law) is how persistent The Intercept is being with Hillary about Goldman. Every chance it gets, The Intercept has a reporter asking Clinton about Goldman related items, and of course they never get an answer.

Earlier this year The Intercept caught up with Hillary and asked if the transcripts of the speeches given to Goldman would be released. Clinton's response was just to laugh of course, because as we all know, those will never be released... on purpose anyway.

The Intercept: "Hi Secretary Clinton, will you release the transcript of your paid speeches to Goldman Sachs?"

Clinton: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

At a Clinton campaign rally in San Francisco last Thursday, The Intercept's Lee Fang caught up with Clinton again and this time wanted to ask about Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein's investment in her son-in-law Marc Mezvinsky's hedge fund Eaglevale Partners.

The Intercept: "Hi Secretary Clinton, do you know how much money Lloyd Blankfein invested in your son-in-law's hedge fund?"

After being ignored multiple times, Clinton's traveling press secretary Nick Merrill stepped to ask just what Fang was trying to find out more about.

Merrill: "Hey buddy how are you. What's your name?"

The Intercept: "Lee Fang"

Merrill: "Hi I'm Nick, I'm her spokesperson. What are you trying to find out more about?"

The Intercept: "I want to know how much money Lloyd Blankfein invested in Marc Mezvinsky's hedge fund. Do you know how much money Nick?"

Merrill: "I don't know has it been reported?"

The Intercept: "No it hasn't. Could you find out the amount for me?"

Merrill: "I don't know what the amount is. You wanna give me your contact information?"

The Intercept: "So you're gonna get back to me?"

Merrill: "I'll email you right now"

* * *

Of course Merrill never got back, but that's to be expected as the entire campaign continues to dodge any questions around the matter. The enjoyment that can be gained from watching The Intercept dog Clinton for answers is priceless however, and it's nice to see that Goldman is the gift that keeps on giving to Clinton, especially as an inconvenience on the campaign trail.

 Goldman Sachs' and the Clintons’ mouths are permanently attached to each other’s assholes.

It’s called “Hyper-Money-Loop  ;-)

"Earlier this month, Mezvinsky was forced to shutter one of the investment vehicles he launched under Eaglevale, called Eaglevale Hellenic Opportunity, after losing 90 percent of its money betting on the Greek recovery."

Hahahaha, what on earth was he smoking? One of his father in law's cigarettes AND inhaling?!

Howzabout some transcripts $hillary?  Are there any?  Getting $225,000 per non-existent speech is about the easiest & most lucrative "work" I could imagine.

Maybe some R-Team member at Goldman would leak such a transcript ot video?  Hmm?  Pretty please?

According to this SEC Form D, the minimum investment in the Eaglevale Hellenic Opportunity Fund LP was $2,000,000.

http://edgar.secdatabase.com/2819/91957414003588/filing-main.htm

Marc Mezvinsky was a GP of the fund along with Bennett Grau and Kenneth Mallon II. The CFO/COO of the GP was Gary G. Tynes. Grau was a former Goldman currency trader. Tynes was formerly with Cumberland Associates.

12 initial accredited investors put in $13,465,000, therefore the minimum investment of $2,000,000 must have been waived for a few investors.

The initial filing was made on 5/29/2014. One year later a subsequent filing was made on 5/28/15 disclosing 21 investors and $24,015,000 raised.

http://edgar.secdatabase.com/2255/91957415004690/filing-main.htm

Eaglevale also had a related offshore fund in the Cayman Islands, EAGLEVALE HELLENIC OPPORTUNITY OFFSHORE FUND LTD. which was seeded by one investor for $1,500,000.

Cumberland Associates was implicated by an Advanced Micro Devices executive as receiving insider information during Tynes's tenure at Cumberland.

However these guys never invest their own money in these schemes. Yet..

Chelsea Clinton is no stranger to Wall Street. Her husband, Marc Mevinsky is co-founder of the hedge fund Eaglevale Partners. In December, a conservative watchdog group called for an investigation into the former secretary of state's communications, claiming while Mrs. Clinton served in that position, she gave special government access to one of Mr. Mevinsky's Wall Street friends.

Why doesn't the Intercept arrange to get hair samples from Chelsea and Bill? in Bill's case, pubic hairs are left everywhere so it shouldn't be too difficult?

After she's denied the nomination, we all know she won't go to prison, she'll be given a high ranking post at GS.

SirBarksAlot's picture

Either that or a low-ranking position, below the building.

A little off topic, but that's got to be the most ugly family picture of all time. Makes me depressed just looking at it.

Maybe some clever New Yorker could swipe some genetic material (from a water glass, etc., easy!) and have it checked out at 23andme?

Depending on the results, THAT would be very newsworthy!

Expect a visit at 3am from guys in a unmarked Black SUV

The intercept: "will you tell me off the record if Goldman's in a criminal conspiracy with the Clintons"

Merrill:"No"

The intercept: "Do you believe you have to be accountable to anybody for anything to hold elected office?"

Merrill:"are you offering a campaign donation?"

The intercept: "No"

Merrill:"then the answer to your question is no"

How do you define pathological? Clinton!

This seems more a gift to Donald Tump. 

Wow is Chelsea hard on the eyes, she'll look even more like that the wicked witch of the west than her mother does.

This is one time I'm glad for my cataracts.I'm not going to squint to see her full uglyness.

Just as ugly inside as well with that pedigree.

Maybe GS had to pay that as a dowry.

Chelsea looks more and more like her biological father, Webb Hubble, every day... despite those plastic surgeries...  Google it, the pics leave NO doubt... wife swaps?  Or maybe Bubba's sterility...

This Memorial Day, let us remember and honor those who have fought to protect us and our constitutional rights that have been annihilated by George W. Bush and Barack Obama and almost every senator and congress person, excluding Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingold. See the list who opposed the end of our freedom here:
http://freakoutnation.com/2011/12/the-only-senators-congress-persons-who...
They have violated our security in our persons, papers, houses and effects without warrant or probable cause.They have used police brutality, tear gas, and billy clubs on us when we have peacefully assembled. They have placed us in free speech zones and denied us the right to be heard in the public square. The Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act, are acts befitting of tyrants!Hillary Clinton supports ending the bill of rights. We have an obligation to future generations to make sure that she never sits in the Oval Office again!
Bernie Sanders has exposed the entire DNC for the fonies, fraudsters, and tricksters that they really are, vile, repugnant, contemptuous pond scum!
Taps lyrics:
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

God damn...two dogs in that photo, and it's not the two dudes.

Kinda like the old days where royalty (Goldman Sachs) marries with other royalty (Clinton clan).  I'm sure that marriage was out of true love.  Riiiight.

This country is sick.

Note the shifty cross eyes of Chelsea's baby-father ( probably her dad's kid ). Pure evil in this family and the sooner Bill departs this mortal soil , the better. Any relationship with Goldman disqualifies you from office.
