Dianne Feinstein leaves stunning properties to her and billionaire husband's feuding daughters

[NYP] Dianne Feinstein was one of the Senate’s richest members throughout her trailblazing career — thanks to her billionaire husband.

While others in Congress struggled to make ends meet, sleeping in their offices to save on rent, Feinstein commuted from San Francisco aboard a Gulfstream G650 jet (pre-owned, the aircraft averages $61,815,000), sported expensive jewelry and flitted from one mansion to the next.

Her last disclosure, in May, put her net worth at $69.4 million.

For much of her wealth, Feinstein — who passed away Thursday in her Washington DC home, aged 90 — could thanked her second husband, Richard Blum.

He was an astute investor and the founder of Blum Capital Partners.

But this year, after his death in February 2022, and as her own health publicly failed, an ugly dispute among the couple’s children cast new light on their fortune and raised the prospect of a court battle over the estate.

#3 /\ .....that Sold Spyware to U.S. Military

The "U.S. Miliary" was it? That should appear somewhere as a 'line item' in the Program Operating Memorandum (POM). Can we please have a look ?

No, we cannot... have a look? I thought not.

#8 Chinese Wall

"A Chinese wall or ethical wall is an information barrier protocol within an organization designed to prevent exchange of information or communication that could lead to conflicts of interest. For example, a Chinese wall may be established to separate people who make investments from those who are privy to confidential information that could improperly influence the investment decisions. Firms are generally required by law to safeguard insider information and ensure that improper trading does not occur.[1]"

#9 Yes. A ~~successful~~ notorious example of a Chinese wall would be the one that facilitated the occurrence of the 9/11 attacks.
