Very interesting, but not surprising.
I remember the female journalist who was killed in Haiti while investigating at this stuff.
Hillary and Hugh Rodham were Tony’s older siblings.
He was married to Megan Madden, whom he wed in 2005 following a divorce from his first wife, Nicole Boxer, daughter of then Sen Barbara Boxer.
Rodhamnever graduated from college....he had several jobs, including stints as a prison guard and private detective, according to the The New York Times. After Bill Clinton became president, Rodham became a consultant and a deal broker, the outlet reports.
At a party in East Hampton, New York following the 1992 Democratic National Convention, Rodham met Nicole Boxer, daughter of the U.S. Senator from California, Barbara Boxer, and the two began dating.[11] On May 28, 1994, Rodham and Boxer were married in a ceremony at the White House attended by 250 guests;[12] it was the first White House wedding since Tricia Nixon married Edward Cox in 1971.[12] The couple had one son, Zachary, born in 1995[13][14] (who later held a unique distinction in that he was simultaneously the grandson and nephew of sitting U.S. senators).
By then, Tony Rodham had left his position at the Democratic National Committee and described himself as “a consultant ... [in] all kinds of businesses. I’m a general consultant. I just bring different peoples together. I help them negotiate deals. I solve problems for people.”[13] In 1997, Rodham tried to arrange meetings between Paraguayan President Juan Carlos Wasmosy and President Clinton,[15] and also powerful Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and the President.[8] In 1998, he paid a visit to dictatorial Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia.
In each of these cases, there was criticism that he was giving an unauthorized impression of White House approval to these foreign figures, or was seeking financial gain for himself.
In 1999, Tony and brother Hugh Rodham entered into an $118 million venture to grow and export hazelnuts from the Republic of Georgia.[16] The U.S. State Department and National Security Advisor Sandy Berger became upset, however, when the Rodhams’ local business connection in Batumi turned out to be Aslan Abashidze, a major political opponent of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, then a key U.S. ally in the region.[8][16] Moreover, Tony Rodham flew to Rome to become godfather to Abashidze’s grandson.[8] After initial resistance, Berger and the Clintons prevailed upon the Rodham brothers to drop the deal.[16] Tony Rodham would not state what his financial stake in the venture was.
Episodes such as these led Hillary Clinton’s White House staff to refer to Tony and Hugh as “the Brothers Rodham”,[17] extending the American tradition of troublesome presidential siblings to the brother-in-law category.[8] One senior White House official would be quoted as saying, “You never wanted to hear their name come up in any context other than playing golf.”[17]
Tony and Nicole became separated by 2000[18] and then got a divorce around 2001.[11] Although the situation was difficult, both sides of the greater family continued to work together politically and be involved in Zachary’s life.[11]
In March 2001, it was revealed that Tony Rodham had helped gain a March 2000 presidential pardon for Edgar Allen Gregory, Jr. and his wife, Vonna Jo, a Tennessee couple in the carnival business who had been convicted of bank fraud.[19] The pardon was granted over the objections of the U.S. Justice Department.[19] Rodham acknowledged talking to President Clinton about a pardon;[13] he said he received no money for his work, but he did have financial ties to the couple as a consultant.[19] His actions gained much public focus and criticism, as they came on the heels of the general Bill Clinton pardons controversy and his brother Hugh’s own involvement in taking money for work done towards pardons.[13] Hillary Clinton, who had strongly criticized Hugh’s involvement and requested he return his money, said that Tony Rodham was not paid for his work.[20] The Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigated the matter and concluded that Tony Rodham had in fact been paid.[20] One aspect of the case dragged out into 2007, as Tony Rodham battled a bankruptcy court’s order that he repay over $100,000 in loans from the now-deceased Edgar Gregory.[20]
In August 2001, Tony Rodham was involved in an assault at the multi-generational Rodham family summer cottage[7][21] at Lake Winola in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania.[22] A man who claimed he saw Rodham having sex with his girlfriend broke into the cottage and assaulted him; Hugh Rodham and the woman restrained the attacker.[22] Both Tony Rodham and the attacker received some injuries.[23] At a hearing on the case in November, 2001, Tony Rodham testified that he might have smoked marijuana with the attacker several hours before the incident.[24] The man subsequently entered a plea of guilty to trespassing, assault, and making terroristic threats.[21]
By 2002, Rodham was in disputes with his former wife over child support payments, with Nicole Boxer saying he had not paid them in six months.In the summer of 2005, Tony Rodham married Megan Madden of Vienna, Virginia.
I can just imagine how many of Hillary’s missing emails show her enabling the illegal activities of her brothers.
whose brother said? Bill (Client) has a nose like a Hoover? Referring to his cocaine usage.
