Mary Jacoby hails from Little Rock Arkansas. Her family is pretty plugged in and has been for decades, dating back to when Bill Clinton was governor. Indeed, Mary Jacoby's relationship with the Clintons goes back to the Rose Law Firm. I love it when dots connect:

"But on a separate head: what a payoff from doing a little spadework on Mary Jacoby. She and Glenn Simpson were married in 1994, and at the time, the Washington Post had a little blurb on that event (Jacoby was a reporter at Roll Call at the time):
* Roll Call newspaper will be dispatching a contingent of reporters down to Little Rock this weekend, but not to cover any congressional campaign. Seems that scribes Glenn Simpson and Mary Jacoby are getting hitched tomorrow in the Arkansas city.
Why Little Rock? Because Mary Jacoby, an Arkansas native, is the daughter of Jon E.M. Jacoby, a long-time executive at Stephens Inc. – the Little Rock, Arkansas investment firm whose connections to the Clintons have come up over and over again in investigations of their varied and often questionable financial dealings.
The relationship was confirmed in a 2003 article by Garance Franke-Ruta for The American Prospect, who recounted that Mary Jacoby, the daughter of Jon Jacoby, a senior executive at the “Clinton-allied Stephens Group,” had left a reporting job with the (then) St. Petersburg Times to sign on as press aide to Wesley Clark, the retired general and Arkansan, who was gearing up for a 2004 campaign. Here are some interesting facts mentioned by Franke-Ruta:
Clark’s new Arkansas press aide Jacoby quit her post as a reporter for the St. Petersburg Times to work for Clark; Jacoby’s father, Jon Jacoby, is a good friend of Clark’s, according to Spell, and knows him from Little Rock, where he is a director and executive of the Clinton-allied Stephens Group, Inc. and a senior executive at Stephens, Inc., the investment firm where Clark worked after returning to civilian life. Mary Jacoby has never worked on a political campaign before — though she did once work as a file clerk at Hillary Clinton’s Rose Law Firm, subject of the Whitewater investigation, according to 1996 reports — and has extensive experience as a political reporter.
Jon Jacoby, for his part, was 51 in 1990, and had joined Stephens in 1963, early enough to be a key player in major Stephens accomplishments like launching the Wal-Mart IPO (1970) and building Alltel out of a handful of successful Stephens companies. I promise, there’s a reason you want to know this.
The Fortune brief in 1990 (link above) called Jacoby “Jack Stephens’s right hand.” According to the Stephens Inc history, Jacoby introduced Stephens co-founder Jackson Stephens in 1968 to the proprietor (Walter Smiley) of a hopeful startup, Systematics, which became one of the firm’s early big successes. It was ultimately bought by a major holding of Stephens, Alltel.
And why does this matter? Because the Rose Law Firm represented Stephens – one of its biggest clients – for many years. Stephens was involved with virtually every familiar name from the multifarious Whitewater investigation: Worthen Bank, Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI), Mochtar Riady, the Lippo Group, Harken Energy (and those are just the big ones; see next link).
And in 1977, Hillary Rodham herself was involved in representation for Systematics – shepherded into Stephens by Jon Jacoby:"
