[Kirsten Gillibrand] 1/4
Did some digging on the Sen of NY and found some interesting things. I'll give her background and basic info on her connections with NXIVM. But there is much more to her for sure… "Follow the wives"
Born in Albany, parents Douglas Paul Rutnik and mother Polly Rutnik (Noonan). Both lawyers and father a well connected lobbyist. Went to school at Dartmouth and UCLA, and interestingly enough became good friends or was roomates with Actress Connie Britton when studying abroad in China for Asian Studies.
Worked at a couple big corporate law firms in NY before running and winning a house seat in a historically red district. She could only win that district by being a conservative democrat, a Blue Dog. Also with the help with her fathers well connected lobbying, and two appearances from Bill Clinton. Seems to have been an important selection from the dems and part of a longer plan perhaps. (also interesting, weeks before that election, the incumbent had false accusations of domestic violence spreading, which his wife had denied. Seems these Roy Moore like fake news before elections not only designed to sway voters, but give also give credence to why a democrat won a historically red district (also Alamabama), Would help hide any election rigging from the public's eye.)
Won the house seat and was selected by the Dems to replace Hillary’s senate seat when she became Obummers sec of st. She won the special senate election, and again in 2012 (by the biggest margin of victory in NY across state voting)
