Wow...Denis McDonough is CIA big time. He was mentored by Cleveland Cram. His wife Karin Hillstrom is the daughter of two Chicago banksters.
The former college football star from the small town of Stillwater, Minnesota arrived in the nation’s capital in the mid-1990s to attend a master’s program at Georgetown University. He was mentored early in his career by CIA legend Cleveland Cram — a fellow St. John’s University alumnus who was by then the agency’s in-house historian. Getting his foot in the door on Capitol Hill as an intern for the House Foreign Affairs Committee, McDonough rose quickly, serving as committee staffer, advisor to committee chair Lee Hamilton, and then foreign-policy aide to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
