The Board of Directors of the Silicon Valley Bank includes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Several Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) boards of directors have donated thousands of dollars or have direct ties to prominent Democratic politicians such as Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Federal investigators are currently investigating the board’s role in the sudden collapse of the bank, as board members were unable to prevent its collapse.

Although the board has 12 members, some of them are under scrutiny due to their donations and ties to Democratic politicians.

For example, director Kate Mitchell is a mega-donor to Clinton, who prayed at the temple after Clinton’s 2016 defeat by former President Donald Trump.

“I prayed that I and we would overcome our grief and shock and figure out how to connect and listen to what happened and get back together,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell also donated $50,000 to the Clinton victory fund. New York Post reported.

Next on the board of the Democratic SVB donor is Garen K. Staglin, who owns a vineyard less than 15 minutes from the Pelosi family’s Napa Valley estate.

How New York Post in detail:

He gave the Biden Victory Fund $10,000 in 2020, sent $54,000 to the Hillary Clinton Victory Fund in 2016 (on top of $25,000 the previous year), supported Obama with $35,800 in 2011, and gave the Democratic National Committee a 10 000 dollars last year.

Some board members have also made donations to the political action committees of Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia), who sits on the Senate Banking Committee. Mail reported.

Another SVB board member with ties to prominent Democrats is Mary J. Miller, who served two years as Obama’s Deputy Secretary of the Interior in the Treasury Department.

How Mail As noted, “the only real banker” on the board of directors of Silicon Valley Bank is Tom King, the new director of the board. King brings to the board of directors 35 years of investment banking experience from years at Citigroup and Barclays.

Mail also reported that Democratic donations were part of the SVB’s business model. “Everyone knew this was the best bank for CEOs,” one source told the publication. “They knew their political alliances were aligned. The SVB companies lending money to everyone had an awakening agenda.”
