When Hillary Clinton's Brother Got In on the Circus Act

Tony Rodham signed a contract in June 1998 with the Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory's circus company, United Shows of America, Inc., and several related businesses to serve as their "independent consultant." Perhaps not coincidentally, the Gregorys negotiated the contract with Hillary Clinton's youngest brother at the same time they began pursuing presidential pardons. Years earlier, Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory pleaded guilty in a banking fraud case. Edgar received five years of probation and Vonna Jo three.

The Gregorys were no strangers to the Clinton clan. They donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the political campaigns of Bill and Hillary Clinton and to various Democrat political parties during Bill's eight years as president. In the two years leading up to their pardons, the Gregorys, their children, and their company and key employees contributed nearly $300,000 to political campaigns, with nearly all of it going to Democratic causes.

The campaign checks were not the only checks the Gregorys wrote. From the time he signed on as an independent consultant, Tony Rodham was paid $244,769, including a $25,000 signing bonus, and he received health care benefits and use of a 1995 Chevrolet Suburban.

Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory were keen to get pardons because their felony convictions were preventing them from bidding for government-sponsored fairs and circuses. They needed to have their criminal records wiped clean.

I wonder if he is really dead and not just living on an island somewhere so he wouldn’t be under the microscope when hrc runs again.

Being a State of Alabama bank examiner in my first career, Ed Gregory was a name well known to the examination staff when I went to work for them in January 1980. In the 1970s, he owned control of 3 banks that failed in South Alabama. I know one of them was in Notasulga.

I ran across an article describing the bankruptcy trustee suing Rodham to settle Gregory’s bankrupt estate. I knew immediately what had happened. The clintons are even bigger crooks than Ed Gregory was.
