Hugh Edwin Rodham (not to be confused with Huge Rodham) is an American businessman and politician who is the brother of New York Senator and former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hugh is a Democrat.

Rodham is the son of Hugh Rodham, Sr., a Chicago textile wholesaler, and Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham. He has one younger brother, Tony Rodham. Rodham attended Pennsylvania State University, graduating in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Health and Human Development. While attending Pennsylvania State University he joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Rodham ran for the United States Senate in Florida in 1994, winning the Democratic Party nomination but losing by a wide margin to Republican Connie Mack in the general election.

Received around $400,000 for services regarding the pardon of Glenn Braswell and the commutation of Carlos Vignali [1] [2] In 1983, Braswell was convicted of mail fraud and perjury in relation to false claims about a baldness treatment and sentenced to three years in federal prison. He was later pardoned by Clinton in January 2001, on Clinton’s last day in office.

[edit] IRS and FTC investigations
In 2003, Braswell was arrested again and charged with owing the Internal Revenue Service $10.5 million in taxes. His company Gero Vita has also been taken to court by the Federal Trade Commission. His activities have been documented for many years by Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch.[1]

[edit] Death
Braswell (at age 63) was found dead Saturday, October 26, 2006 in his condo by his employees. The cause of Braswell’s death has been labeled “unclassified pending more tests,” according to the Miami-Dade medical examiner’s office.

Carlos Anibal Vignali had his federal prison sentence commuted by President of the United States Bill Clinton just prior to leaving office, as a part of a group of commutations and pardons. At the time, he was serving the 6th of 15 years in prison for organized cocaine trafficking.

And lets not forget Marc Rich!

Is this woman trying to be funny? When did the Clintons ever consider themselves subject to the law? We’d better hope and pray that those two ______s don’t get back in the White House.

Unlike Bubba's cronyism and pardons for sale. No wonder that woman waited so long to say something about the Scooter commutation!

"He is a good man," The President said. "He has worked his heart out for this country." Clinton on Sander Bergular

Hillary's silence on Sandy Bergular's wrist slap is deafening.

Yes, it’s disgusting. But it’s what her moonbat base wants her to say, and she knows it.

If (and I don't grant the point, except on illegal immigration) Bush is above the law, the Clintons were clearly *beneath* it.

Cheers!

This is the same woman who had subpoenaed Rose law firm records sitting in the White House private quarters.

WOW! Boy, did she open herself up with that one after all her husband did! Are the republicans from the White House down NOT going to remind the country about this woman’s husband? WHEN is the republican leadership going to start fighting these people back?

Is telling when Mrs. Clinton can get away with criticizing ANYBODY who got out of jailtime for purgery
