James Costos & Mike Smith digz.
James Costos was Obama's gay ambassador to Spain.James was formerly an executive for HBO. Mike Smith is his "husband" and Michelle Obama's personal decorator in the White House. I started digging on Mike because I found this chandelier made from trash that he hung in the Obama girls bedroom. It was made by an art group called Magpie Collective, four white men from South Africa.
In October 2013 the Spanish government summoned him (James Costos) to address allegations that the National Security Agency had recently collected data on 60 million telephone calls in Spain
When the Obama's left the White House the first place they stayed was with Costos & Smith in California before going to the Virgin Islands to stay with Richard Branson.
It's very interesting that James Costos now sits on the board of directors of Grifols a Spanish pharmaceutical company working on blood plasma treatment for Covid.
Grifols, S.A. is a Spanish multinational pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturer. Principally a producer of blood plasma-based products, a field in which it is the European leader and largest worldwide, the company also supplies devices, instruments, and reagents for clinical testing laboratories.
