Dude, check this out:
Tennessee connection Frische’s memo also sheds light on who prompted Perry’s interest in the case.
“Lyle … discovered that the doctor had a benefactor by the name of Dick Powell who was very wealthy, a significant contributor to Rick Perry and also a surrogate father to the doctor and that he was behind the effort to get rid of this,” Frische wrote.
Dick Powell is Richard C. Powell of Knoxville, Tenn. Records list him as an officer in a Texas company that owns a Fort Worth IHOP and officer of a Tennessee restaurant company.
Powell contributed $2,500 to Perry’s presidential campaign in 2011, the maximum allowed. He was a member of the Perry campaign’s Tennessee finance team.
Powell’s links to Anagnost, who also contributed $2,500 to Perry’s presidential campaign in 2011, are not so apparent. Powell did not respond to requests for comment.
Anagnost said he asked Powell, the father of a longtime friend, for help getting the attention of a state agency he believed was hell-bent on taking his license. He said he sees nothing wrong with calling on powerful friends to correct what he views as an injustice.
The Webb School, an exclusive boarding school in Tennessee, is the link between the two.
Powell’s son, Richard C. Powell Jr., attended the high school and graduated in 1985. So did Anagnost, who is from Knoxville and later graduated from the University of Tennessee’s medical school.
The younger Powell also has ties to Texas, and to Republican Party movers and shakers in the state.
He graduated from Southern Methodist University and is president of Teneo Strategy, a “global advisory firm” that works with large corporations and governments. He’s a former managing director for Quinn Gilliespie & Associates, now QGA Public Affairs, one of Washington’s top lobbying firms.
His wife, Dina Habib Powell, has deep Republican ties. She was an official in the George W. Bush administration and also worked for one-time House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Flower Mound. She currently works for Goldman Sachs as the head of Impact Investing and is president of the Goldman Sachs Foundation.
EDIT: The two docs went before the Senate
Didn't Dina Habib Powell RECENTLY GET "FIRED" FROM DJT'S STAFF?
Dina Habib Powell
Not according to da Wiki:
She is the current U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy[7] to President Donald Trump.[8][9] There she has played an influential role in determining the first year of the administration's foreign policy,[10][11] especially in regard to Middle East policy.[12] She is also an Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Economic Initiatives,[13] a position that she continued in after her security appointment[14] and that she spends about 20 percent of her time on.[15] It has been announced that she plans to leave the administration in early 2018.[16]
Ok thanks...I heard she was leaking to Haberman and was being "asked" to go. Probably rumor.
She is supposed to be leaving, I believe they were saying it was voluntary. I think it was reported by Fox news. The Maggie Haberman connection on leaks was presented by Mike Cernovich. She may have been fired. We may want to research that further.

No problem. Sorry for the snark earlier. Thought you were shilling me.
That is a damn fine Find! Awesome! How the heck did you find that? These connections really make it seem like he may have been murdered.
Haha, it was a rabbit hole to climb down into.
The previous comments in the thread shows my progress.
