A court-appointed bankruptcy trustee asked a federal judge this week to schedule a new court date in a case against Tony Rodham, the brother of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., accused of failing to repay $109,000 in loans from a carnival company whose owners received controversial pardons issued by President Bill Clinton in the last hours of his presidency.

According to documents filed in the case, Rodham received the loans, before and after the pardons were granted, from United Shows of America, Inc., owned by Edgar Gregory and his wife, who had been convicted of defrauding several banks.

I think the MSM will start in on Hillary because they know she is not electable.

Barack Hussein Obama is the one who they will push!

Read the responses to the blog.

I've been involved in political letters to the editor campaigns and similar damage control drills, so I know one when I see one.

This is Hillary's spin machine kicking into full gear.

No, it will be Bill Richardson.

Hussein-Obama is not electible, either.

From the blog you linked to:

Finally an investigative story covering the
other side of the political aisle. But I agree with the
other readers, Hillary should not be held
accountable for Bill's screw-ups.

So a suspicious pardon of people that Hillary's brother's owes money to is merely a "screw up" for which all should be forgiven.

The utter contempt that Hillary supporter's, Dems in general, and liberals specifically have for the law, for what is right and for the American people who disagree with them is almost unfathomable.

The sooner this ............ person's political career is over, the better off America will be.

At the time, the Gregorys said they saw nothing wrong with seeking Rodham's help to get their pardons, which were issued over objections from the Department of Justice.

How can she spin this? This is her (Rodham's) brother.

Who do we suppose asked Billy Boy to pardon these folks?

DUH

Let us not forget she benefited from some of those pardons too.

Bill Richardson scares me the most.
The MSM are not pimping for him, yet.

Scared of him, why?

He is going nowhere. He at best can hope for a Cabinet position and to be a high paid lecturer on the rubber chicken taco circuit.

I agree.

The DNC convention is just up the road from New Mexico.

The dem's already have a lock on Illinois and 85% of the black vote. Obama brings NOTHING to the table for Hillary.

You don't consider ABC News to be MSM?
