2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton’s Tutor in War and Peace [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)54. Rather than the CT strawman, show where I've posted something in error.
If you want to go to the heart of the matter: Start with UBS, where these two work in the Swiss bank's Wealth Management department for the once rightwing Sen. Phil Gramm.
After his exit from the US Senate, Phil Gramm immediately found a job at Swiss bank UBS as its Vice Chairman. Gramm today works in the Wealth Management department, where he brought on, among others, former President Bill Clinton, former pretzeldent George W Bush and one James Carville.
See for you'self.
It's a Buy-Partisan Who's Who:
President William J. Clinton
President George W. Bush Heh heh heh.

James Carville

Who would have thought President Clinton and Sen. Gramm -- the two key figures in repealing Glass-Steagall -- would work together in Wealth Management at a Swiss bank?
Since the New Deal, Glass-Steagall had protected the US taxpayer from the Wall Street casino by law. After its repeal, the US taxpayer got put on the hook for, among other things, the most recent $16 trillion Wall Street bailout.
In September 2008 on DU2 I described the situation: Know your BFEE: Phil Gramm, the Meyer Lansky of the War Party, Set-Up the Biggest Bank Heist Ever.
Those interested may also enjoy what Robert Scheer thinks about Phil Gramm.

Until the Panama Papers, this information wasn't much interest to the USA's "news media." They don't like to disturb their owners and operators any more than they have to.
