Voat posts re Bridgewater Associates:

Comey/Clinton connected to Costa Rica/Australia plane crashes this week

After he left government, Comey spent three years being grilled, or “probed,” as an executive at Bridgewater Associates.. It looks like James Comey basically worked for Bridgewater before he worked in the FBI under Obama, and Bridgewater's Associates Executive Bruce Steinberg was killed this week with his whole family in a Costa Rica plane crash. The Clinton's are actually connected to the death of Compass Group CEO Richard Cousins who also died this week along with four others in a plane crash in Australia.

The Compass Group provided full-service LEED recertification consulting to the Clinton Foundation to assist them with achieving LEED-EB Platinum recertification for the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, located in Little Rock, AR. The153,779 sq. ft. William J. Clinton Presidential Library, a part of the National Archives, has been designated as one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly places to work in the United States by the U.S. Green Buildings Council under its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Program.

A Vanderbilt that 'seeks to help Chinese orphans'?! We should look into this.
