Business dealings of Hillary Clinton's brother raise new questions
Fox News ^ | 3/25/2015

Posted on 03/26/2015 7:36:23 AM PDT by Beave Meister

The latest baggage threatening to dog Hillary Clinton’s expected bid for the White House comes in the form of her brother, who allegedly got help from the Department of Homeland Security in smoothing a business deal.

The department’s inspector general found that Tony Rodham was given special treatment by DHS’ No. 2 in securing visas for foreigners connected to a deal.

Rodham was CEO of an electric car company owned by another longtime Clinton pal, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, when he got help from DHS official Alejandro Mayorkas securing the visas for investors in the firm. It is not clear that Clinton played any role. But the determination could, at least, fuel new questions about what was contained in the thousands of emails sent and received on Clinton's private server while she was secretary of state -- many of which she says were deleted.

Is anyone else amazed at the number of negative stories related to Hillary which all of a sudden are being reported in the MSM???

So many have said that Obama was the media darling due to being a black president, and that the media would similarly push Hillary on us to be the first woman president. But the media are being tough on the Clintons recently. It makes you wonder what’s happening behind the scenes.

Raise new questions? Hillary’s brothers are crooks. RICO should have put them out of the influence peddling business back in the ‘90s when they were selling Billy Jeff’s pardons to the highest bidder. The Roddam clan is a crime syndicate.

It could be some sort of sabotage to make way for a more progressive candidate, or it could be to report all of these stories when people are barely paying attention. That way the "old news" defense can be brought up later during the actual campaign.

Well, that is classic Clinton. It is classic Clinton to say something is old news if it’s ever brought up again. Maybe the Clintons are happy to get this bad news out now for that very reason.

Family Ties Put Rodham Brothers in Spotlight Clinton Pardon probe shows ex-president's relatives used connections for themselves and friends.

EXCERPT---Tony and Hugh Rodham lived simple, anonymous lives in Miami.Tony was a private investigator and process server. Hugh was a public defender. Neither was a political player. All that changed when Bill Clinton became president and their sister Hillary Rodham Clinton became first lady.

<><> These days (2001) , Tony Rodham is a Washington consultant who travels around the world in search of business opportunities. He has recently been to Taiwan, Dubai, Cambodia and the former Soviet Union. Hugh is a lawyer in Fort Lauderdale who works on class-action lawsuits and moves in political circles.

<><> The Rodman brothers' activities became a focus of attention 2001 as a congressional committee examined the controversial pardons and commutations President Clinton granted before leaving office in January. The House panel cited $434,000 that Hugh Rodham collected--and subsequently repaid--for lobbying the White House on behalf of two felons seeking presidential clemency.

<><> Friends cite Hugh's fees in the two clemency cases--which Hillary Clinton publicly called last month a "terrible misjudgment"--as an aberration. Both Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton said they were unaware of his fees and demanded he return the money.

<><> By most accounts, Tony Rodham, 46, has been the most active in seeking business opportunities since the Clintons moved into the White House.In the last four years, he has sought deals all over the world, sometimes using his political contacts. "I just bring different peoples together. I help them negotiate deals. I solve problems for people," Tony Rodman said on CNN.

<><> In August 1999, Tony and Hugh traveled to the Republic of Georgia to set up a $118-million hazelnut company. Tony had met his partner in the deal, Stephen Graham, through the Democratic National Committee, where Tony went to work in the mid- 1990. After U.S. officials complained that the deal was causing diplomatic friction, Hugh dropped out but Tony remained an active player.

<><> In 1998, Graham and Tony Rodham traveled to Cambodia in search of new business, meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen. "It was just a trade possibility," Graham said. That visit worried the State Department, which had been critical of the Cambodian government's human rights record.

<><> Last June 2000, Tony and Hugh Rodham traveled to Taiwan, where they met with Vice President Annette Lu and other government officials over lunch. "They were looking for some business opportunities," said Parris Chang, a member of Taiwan's national assembly who attended the meeting. "The trip was considered very hush-hush. Nobody wanted to talk about it because their BIL was the president--because if China knew about the trip, they might raise issues." Chang said no deal materialized.

Not to worry. By November 2016 the so-called “news” media will brush this off as “old news” as it sells her “inevitability” to the Low Information voters.

Maybe she doesn’t want to reveal the e-mails where she ordered the visas be issued to benefit Tony Rodham because in those same emails she was also sharing recipes with Tony and discussing her latest Zumba class. You know, “private” stuff.

There was a huge fight for control of the party when Clinton ran against Obama. Obama side of the party has had control for 8 years....that is a long time to establish connections and control in the media.
