Billionaire Republican Who Mocked Hillary Clinton's Marriage Had an Ashley Madison Account

Source: Gawker

A billionaire hedge fund investor and GOP donor who publicly mocked Hillary Clinton this year for being married to “a liar and a cheat” had an account on the cheating site Ashley Madison, according to data released by hackers calling themselves the Impact Team. The name and email address of Dan Loeb, founder of hedge fund Third Point LLC and prominent contributor to the Romney campaign, appear in the company’s database of users, and Loeb confirmed in a statement to Gawker that the account is authentic.

Once an Obama supporter, Loeb has since turned into a very generous supporter of Republican candidates and conservative Super PACs—he gifted $1,000,000 to the right-wing American Unity PAC and a quarter million to the Ending Spending Action Fund just last fall, along with tens of thousands of dollars straight to the Republican Party.

More recently he’s become a vocal detractor of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In June, he posted a joke to his Facebook page that described Clinton as a put-upon spouse trapped in a loveless marriage with a cheating husband who thinks she’s a lesbian.

He has gotten to be the proverbial big swinging dock since then.

He is known for his vicious letters to company management he writes when he becomes an activist investor.

Who apparently did no cheating herself. What's the justice in that?

And it's another IOKIYAR--I've never heard them bash Republican wives who were forgiving. Nothing but admiration for them...

Linky, linky

Jason Doré acknowledged that his name is on the list released by hackers this week, according to The Times-Picayune. But he said he used the account strictly for “opposition research.”

“As the state’s leading opposition research firm, our law office routinely searches public records, online databases and websites of all types to provide clients with comprehensive reports,” he told the New Orleans newspaper.

He didn’t say who the account was for, though he did say that “it ended up being a waste of money and time.”


That's probably gonna be the new reich wing excuse du jour.

i doubt it was 'strictly'

But much of online infidelity is fertile ground for seeking 'dirt'

It's a widespread network of locals in every community

Divorce lawyers, politicians, any professional person, anyone of
any import is a potential target or interested in information

Separated spouses might want to reserve their dating freedom
until the divorce is finalized

Assume 80% of ads are fake

Its GOP people that are creepy with no family values: they
love money first, and people second.

GOP like instant gratification, while Dem like long term investment.

The Clintons aren't quitters, the are fighters, maybe they think
marriage at least their is worth fighting for, or maybe they
just like being together.
