The message for PM Tsipras would be a version of the following (though we'd also gladly develop more robust paper/talkers if helpful): 1) The PM should stay calm and engaged even if his interlocutors at times seem to make unreasonable demands. 2) An underscoring of the importance of staying in Euro for both geopolitical and economic reasons. 3) A recognition that debt re-profiling is an important win for Greece and for growth. 4) And a reminder that it is important to be mindful that Merkel and other European leaders also have political challenges in their democracies and need reforms to be credible.
When Mr. Mezvinsky and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.
The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton, who is widely expected to run for president again in 2016. Some have also contributed to the family’s foundation.
