Hillary's brother barred from bank account

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother Anthony D. Rodham has been barred from accessing his bank account while a bankruptcy trustee demands that he repay more than $100,000 in loans from a carnival company whose founder was pardoned by President Clinton, filings in federal bankruptcy court in Alexandria show.
Mr. Rodham, one of Mrs. Clinton's two brothers, received $107,000 in loans from United Shows of America Inc. after its owners obtained the presidential pardon over the objections of the Justice Department.
United Shows went bankrupt in 2002, and control of its finances was placed in the hands of court-appointed trustee Michael E. Collins, who has sought to garnish Mr. Rodham's wages.
A consent order filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia said Mr. Rodham is barred from taking money out of a bank account containing about $142,000, pending a hearing next month.
Last year, Mr. Collins won a default judgment against Mr. Rodham in a complaint filed in bankruptcy court in Nashville, Tenn. The trustee sought repayment of the loans, plus more than $40,000 in interest.
Mr. Rodham "received the benefit of the loans without making any repayment," said a document filed last year in Nashville.
Mr. Rodham, known as Tony, declined to comment yesterday on the United Shows matter. The Vienna, Va., resident questioned the relevance of the case as a news story.
"I just happen to be the brother-in-law of a person who became president," he said. "I'm not a public figure."

Is this Barbara Boxer's ex-son-in-law or was that the other brother?
Nancy, your Culture of Corruption alarm just exploded.
That the RNC doesn't leap on this stuff instantly is a shame. They don't know how to fight.
funny.. herd the phrase "Hillary Rob'um Clinton" for the first time today... One has to wonder....
The clinton carnival goes on.....
Wherever the Rodhams/Clintons,like the Kennedys,go..trouble seems to follow.
Translation:
"I'm just a minor player in the Clintonista crime family."
"But that was not really a loan. It was a payoff for my brother in law giving him a pardon. I was never supposed to repay that money. Just ask my sister. She set it all up."
Let's see how this works. Klintoon pardons the founder of United Shows. Anthony Rodham, Hillary's brother, receives $107000 in loans from United Shows and no payments after the pardon. Hmmmmm. Typical dimocRAT transaction. Now the MSM will look the other way on this.
yes they do
The MSM will look the other way because the story is ancient and isn't sexy for today's news.
Could hurt Hillary campaigns though and for that reason I do think she will flip the bill, or Bill will pay and write it off.
Good debate, very informative.
This stuff writes itself, doesn't it? A CARNIVAL company? I knew the Dems were a bunch of freaks but, who knew?
