NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee lawsuit against the brother of US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to be settled before the trial begins next Thursday.
The suit accuses Tony Rodham of failing to repay debts to a Tennessee carnival operator.
The case could have revived stories about how Clinton's brothers accepted money from people pardoned by her husband, President Bill Clinton.
Rodham is accused of failing to repay $107,000 plus interest to the bankrupt estate of Edgar Allen Gregory Junior and his wife, both of whom received a presidential pardon in 2000.
The Gregorys received pardons for a bank fraud conviction from President Clinton about two years after Rodham became a paid consultant to United Shows of America, a carnival business the couple owned.
Rodham claims in court documents the money he received from the Gregorys was for consulting services, but the trustee for the Gregory estate claims it was a loan.

His butt is not as big as Hillary Rodham’s.

Can’t find a good picture of Tony but I guess he’s not a lardass like his brother. Just a crook.
Which one of them had to be forcibly removed from his digs at the White House on January 20, 2001? They are disgusting, disgraceful people and my tagline applies to the whole lot of ‘em.
Billy didn’t want to leave the White House?
Do tell
Bankruptcy actions do this all the time...you can be a vendor who sold your product to the troubled company; they sold it and you got paid; but if it's within that window deemed by the court, you have to literally give the "estate" your money back.
This happened many times during my time in the seafood sales business...we'd lose not only the consumed product, but every damned cent it cost us, let alone any profit that might have been there.
He is lucky he didn't have an accident of some sort or commit suicide!
So you’re saying he’s a victim?
Don’t think that he’s a victim. This “load” was his fee for getting their pardon petition before slick willy. It was never meant to be repaid. The only reason it came to light was that when the estate was going into bankruptcy, the “loan” was listed as an asset.
“load” = “loan”
Carnies, eh? Why am I not surprised?

So he’ll have to pay back the money he took for getting the pardon? That’s rich. (No pun intended.) And it’s funny as hell.
How much do you want to bet that big sis is paying it off to make the issue go away?
