Clare Bronfman may be above US law in Buffalo or Albany, but not NYC, not the EDNY DOJ

By Frank Parlato

It is believed by numerous sources that Clare Bronfman is paying Keith Raniere’s five attorneys.

Clare Bronfman is also likely paying Allison Mack’s three attorneys:

Bronfman is also likely paying for the medical malpractice attorneys who are representing  human fright experimenter Dr. Brandon Porter and human brander Dr. Danielle Roberts. They’re from Abrams Fensterman (Michael S. Kelton is the lead attorney).

Bronfman may also be paying India Oxenberg’s attorney, Carla DiMare, who has been retained to sue India’s mother and others connected to her.

As a condition of her release on $5 million bond, the US District Court forbid Allison Mack to contact NXIVM members except through her attorneys. Sources claim Mack is in direct contact with Clare Bronfman.

Some say Bronfman believes that, due to her enormous wealth, she is above US law. The prohibition against Mack communicating with NXIVM members would not apply to Bronfman, she may think, for, after all, she has enough money to buy and sell any of the lawyers for the EDNY DOJ three times over.

Bronfman, herself, has hired a criminal attorney. He is Dennis Burke. He “took the fall” [by resigning as Arizona’s US Attorney during the Obama administration] for the ATF/FBI gun-running criminal enterprise in Mexico/Arizona called Fast and Furious. He went into private practice and was rewarded by an appointment to a top advisory committee for Attorney General Jeff Sessions. An advisory committee spot is a wonderful aid for getting high paid legal business for defendants who assume he can peddle his influence with the DOJ to get clients off the hook. If they have enough money, this may be true.

With Bronfman retaining Burke – who himself seemingly committed felonies as a US Attorney – Bronfman may think she has signaled the judge and the DOJ in the NY EDNY that she is untouchable and that there may even be punishment exacted upon them by Burke, the darling of the CIA, FBI and Main Justice DOJ, Washington DC.

It may not be far fetched, given Bronfman’s arrogance and destructive, vindictive nature, and her innate stupidity, that she may think she can intimidate the EDNY DOJ, just as she may have intimidated, lulled, cajoled and/or possibly bribed certain officials of the Western District of NY DOJ [Buffalo DOJ & FBI] and Northern District of NY DOJ [Albany FBI & DOJ] into backing down on the prosecution of numerous Bronfman-Raniere crimes.

But the Eastern District of NY is different from Buffalo or Albany. That the entire Department of Justice harbors corrupt officials has become a matter of public knowledge. They prosecute the innocent, play political favorites, and let the guilty go free. They are driven by convictions not justice. More and more, people understand this every day.

I know from personal experience. I am the victim of charges in a case fomented by Bronfman-Raniere – brought by a corrupt official of the DOJ – now retired Assistant US Attorney Anthony Bruce. He worked hand-in-hand with his friend, Bronfman lawyer, William Savino, to corrupt the system and get me indicted, while turning a blind eye [while suborning perjury] to the vicious crimes of Bronfman-Raniere.  Because of these two men, some 50 women were branded and/or sex trafficked.

Former Assistant US Attorney Anthony Bruce ignored evidence of Bronfman-Raniere crimes and chose to go after whistleblower Frank Parlato on trumped up charges. Because of this, Bronfman-Raniere were free to continue to commit crimes and wound up branding and sex trafficking scores of women. Bruce may face indictment himself before this is over.

This will come out at or before my trial. As Raniere is in prison, I expect Bruce, and possibly Savino, will join him. Bronfman, of course, will go to a women’s prison.

But why? Why, you ask, why should a Bronfman be subjected to the same laws as common people?

Because the EDNY is different. They are known for independence. This is most unfortunate for Bronfman.  Had this happened in Arizona or Buffalo, by now the whistleblowers – the Jane Does – the victims of sex trafficking – would have been indicted. Just like the New York State Police and the Albany County District Attorney, P. David Soares, conspired to indict and prosecute three other NXIVM whistleblowers: John Tighe, Joe O’Hara and Toni Natalie.

Karma is a curious thing. Some call it a law. The law of karma. If something is really a law, it can’t be broken.  And, no Clare, we are not in Buffalo or Albany, any more.

Puhleez, grow up. You don’t work for your lawyer, your lawyer works for you. The problem is most of them are frauds, criminals, and control & money whores and addicts themselves which is what actually gets in the way.

The Bronfman sisters are not your average fucking dumb. They’re top tier dumb. After all, it’s not everyday you inherit hundreds of millions of dollars and then blow $200 million on the whims of a conman whose college GPA is barely above average and who is such an egomaniac he thinks that if Bill Gates or Abraham Lincoln branded women and started a master/slave sex cult no one would care. Good job girls.

I hope all these legal teams prove a massive drain on the Bronfmans’ purse and that, once more, the sisters get to truly earn something on their own merits even more substantially deserving than those precious sashes, an entire suit of standard prison-wear! Oh and most importantly, a room [almost] of one’s own, in any one of your state penitentiaries. Good work Gals! Best use everyone while you can, because no-one will be there when the money runs out.

Does the respectable white shoe law firm of Willkie, Farr and Gallagher not want to be associated with the legal defense of Allison Mack, a woman accused of torture and sexual slavery?

White shoe, gray shoe, black shoe? They don’t care about their color of their shoes, lawyers only care about the color of the money. I doubt that most attorneys even like the majority of their clients.

Then why is Donald Trump, President of the United States, having such a hard time hiring and retaining attorneys?
BTW you’re 100% right on one point.
Many defense attorneys think their clients are as guilty as sin.
But many law firms with female clients as well as female lawyers and office staff don’t want to be associated with a client who tortures and enslaves women.

To answer shadowstate1958’s question of why Trump has difficulty in finding attorneys —

Lawyers may not care if they have white, gray or black shoes, but they definitely don’t want to have DOG TURDS smeared on their shoes. Trump has a reputation for stiffing lawyers on their bills, refusing their advice to keep his mouth shut, publicly shifting blame to them when he screws things up. What law firm wants a client who has a reputation for causing problems for the lawyers?

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
