Another person with extremely
close ties to Hillary Clinton has died a mysterious death.
Houston,
Texas trial lawyer and Democrat mega donor Steve Mostyn died in what authorities are saying was a “suicide”.
Mr. Mostyn was only 46. He left behind a wife and several children. He
announced earlier this year that he was going to be stepping away from politics
to spend more time with his family.
Details about how Mr. Mostyn “allegedly”
committed suicide are slim. However, his family said that it happened after he
“suddenly” became afflicted with some sort of mental illness then took his own
life, although they weren’t clear as to what type of mental illness he suffered
from.
It is worth
noting that Mr. Mostyn had never suffered from mental illness in the past,
according to his family, further raising suspicions over the manner in which he
died.
Mr. Mostyn was a progressive powerhouse who was
heavily involved with politics throughout his career. He made his fortunes off
of suing insurance companies after hurricanes ravaged his state, and used his
wealth to fund numerous Democrat and progressive causes, including the Super PAC “Ready for
Hillary,” which he and his wife co-founded with Susie Tompkins Buell, a
radical environmentalist and member of George Soros’s Democracy Alliance.
Mr. Mostyn’s
wife, Amber, was also a member of the Democracy Alliance and a close friend of
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was the keynote speaker at a
2010 Annie’s List event honoring Amber. The
Mostyns were close to the Clintons in general, having held numerous high-dollar fundraisers for Hillary’s failed 2016 presidential
run at their Houston home.
However, their
relationship came under stress in 2015, when ethics watchdog group Foundation
for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a formal complaint against
Hillary and her campaign for illegal coordination with the Ready for Hillary
Super PAC.
FACT
has asked other federal agencies to investigate the Clinton campaign’s dealings.
FACT sent a letter to the
IRS asking it to investigate a $350,000 payment that the Clinton Foundation
made to Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign for an email list of potential
donors.
FACT
has also asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether Clinton’s
campaign illegally obtained an email list of 4 million names from the
pro-Clinton super PAC, Ready for Hillary. FACT asserts that the list swap should be considered an
in-kind donation — which would constitute illegal coordination between the
campaign and PAC.
FACT
has also asked the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to look into an April 21
meeting in which Clinton campaign aides attended a weekly meeting of Senate
Democrats. FACT asserts that the meeting violates campaign rules.
This wasn’t the first time the Clinton and
Mostyns found themselves being questioned over unethical practices. In 2010,
Hillary Clinton’s State Department pushed through a multi-billion dollar deal
for Boeing in Russia, and just two months later the company gave nearly a
million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
A short time
later, Boeing’s top lobbyist and former Bill Clinton aide Tim Keating partnered with
Mr. Mostyn’s Super PAC to do a joint fundraising venture for Hillary’s planned
presidential campaign.
Fox News reported:
A
sales plug in Russia in 2009, though, may have proved especially fruitful.
While touring a Boeing plant, Secretary of State Clinton said, “We’re delighted
that a new Russian airline, Rossiya, is actively considering acquisition of
Boeing aircraft.”
In 2010, Boeing landed the Russian deal,
worth $3.7 billion. And two months later, the company donated $900,000 to the
Clinton Foundation.
But
the financial connections don’t end there. Boeing also paid former President Bill Clinton $250,000 for
a speech in 2012. It was a speech that was approved by the State
Department’s Ethics Office — which according to an Associated Press report
often approved the ex-president’s speaking engagements within days.
And in another potential trouble spot,
Boeing’s chief lobbyist and former Bill Clinton aide Tim Keating hosted a
fundraiser for Ready for Hillary, the political action committee raising money
to help fund a run for the White House. Boeing took no issue with Keating doing
so.
Mr.
Mostyn’s seems to have been a major player in their inner circle for years, and
the timing of his death is especially concerning as Hillary Clinton has once
again found herself at the center of scrutiny for alleged dirty dealings during
her time as Secretary of State.
Whether or not
Mr. Mostyn killed himself or was “suicided”, we probably will never know.
However, he was undoubtedly close enough to the Clintons to know enough
incriminating information to put them away for a long time, so that gives him
quite a bit in common with others who’ve been “suicided.”
