Clinton told Amr, “I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film… But we have to exercise more self-discipline… otherwise we’ll be in a vicious downward circle against everyone who has ever felt offended, particularly on the internet….”
After referring to Benghazi, Secy Clinton’s telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr also contained a curious reference to what the former secretary referred to as a “very successful investment visit led by my deputy Tom Nides, and on the very day they left, this series of incidents began to unfold.”
According to the Washington Post, Nides, who was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, was at the same time responsible for “communications with donors” to the Clinton Foundation.
Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.
I wouldn’t invest in foolhardy, MILLION-TO-1 chance of Greece miraculously pulling off an abrupt, Hail Mary economic turn around, you know..?
But if I were told I’d have secret and direct access to the people in charge of Greece/American relations..?
Yeah, that would probably make me think about it for another second or two.
It would.
