Current notables or all historical notables?
I need one sentence, one question, that is the topic for a limited research project.
Need to pitch 95% of the stuff off my plate so I can see what I'm researching.
Otherwise the research goes off in 100 directions and never gets written up or concluded. The topic is too broad.
Thank you fren. Will try to focus there and cee what's up with that.
First obvious connection between CF and SDNY is Epstein. Am finding stuff. >>9698371
Clinton Foundation and Southern District of New York
Look for CF connection to SDNY.
Dirt Money Always leaves a mess.
"Attorneys for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein touted his close friendship with Bill Clinton and even claimed the billionaire helped start Clinton's controversial family foundation in a 2007 letter aimed at boosting his image during plea negotiations." [2]
In a 2007 letter from Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers (Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt) to the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of Florida, Epstein claimed he was part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). CGI was renamed the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation in 2013. The 2007 letter aimed to boost Epstein’s image and may have contributed to his successful plea bargain on the charge of using underage girls in a sex ring. The letter says Epstein hosted Bill Clinton on a 1-month trip to Africa regarding the AIDS crisis. [1]
Whether Epstein was an actual founder of the foundation or exaggerated his role in a phony effort to appear altruistic is not clear. He is not cited in official paperwork filed by the Clinton Global Initiative as a founder or director. Bill Clinton publicly credited longtime assistant Doug Band as conceiving of the idea. [2]
Epstein supported the Clinton Foundation financially. In 2014 a whistleblower released the names of super-rich individuals who held Swiss accounts at HSBC. Pursuing the whistleblower's data, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists then documented transfers of $81 million from HSBC Swiss accounts to The Clinton Foundation. This $81M included money from Epstein (and presumably from others). [2]
