I wonder what the real story is with this murder-suicide.
DAVIE, Fla. -- A prominent Democratic fund raiser and his business partner were found shot to death Tuesday in a banquet hall they owned, police said.
Jerome Berlin and his business partner, Michael Pecora, were found dead in a locked office on the second floor of the Signature Grand banquet hall in Davie, police said. Police believe the deaths were a murder-suicide.
Dating back to 1997, Berlin aided such well-known Democratic senators as Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Bill Nelson of Florida, according to Federal Election Commission fund-raising records.
He was acquitted in 1991 of federal charges that he and another lawyer conspired to defraud a securities investment firm in 1985. Full story
Hmmmm...very interesting. Good morning, all. Can't believe it's the last day of April!
Interesting connections there. Makes you go, "hmmmmmm."
That's interesting. If they were partners, how did Berlin have the authority to "fire" his partner's wife from the business they jointly owned and operated? Maybe this isn't another of the x42-related "suicide by shotgun to the back of the head, twice"-type of incidents, after all! Do you have to be emotionally unstable to be a Dem supporter? Anyway, here are some of the late Mr. Berlin's diverse and mostly crooked beneficiaries, according to the FEC:

Think maybe this statement by the stinky one may pertain to the murder/suicide story you posted?
Not sure exactly what the heck she means by this, but when I saw the story last night, I wondered if another Arkincide had taken place. How many people involved with the Clintons' have died now I wonder?
