Email Chain Regarding James Comey and Marc Rich Pardon (File 025163)

Email correspondence between Jeffrey E. and Tom Pritzker discussing James Comey's alleged animus toward Hillary Clinton stemming from Marc Rich's presidential pardon, with references to foundation pledge requirements.

Summary

This email chain from November 28, 2016 discusses a theory about James Comey's motivations regarding Hillary Clinton. Tom Pritzker forwards an article from Israeli press suggesting that Comey, as a DA, was hunting Marc Rich for indictment, but Clinton pardoned Rich after Ehud (Netanyahu) intervened on behalf of Mossad. The theory proposes Comey has harbored resentment since then and used it as motivation against Clinton. Jeffrey E. also mentions that Comey knows someone named Denise needs to pledge $500,000 to a foundation, and references meetings with people in Palm Beach.
