His ties to Bill Clinton and his entourage have been well-documented; the charismatic Follieri, whom Vanity Fair has “likened to an ambitious nineteenth-century protagonist from a Balzac novel, ingratiated himself to President Clinton and aides by posing as a mega-donor to the Clinton Global Initiative. He also formed an investment partnership with California business mogul and Clinton donor Ron Burkle to develop surplus real estate properties owned by the Catholic Church, which Follieri claimed to represent. Burkle later sued Follieri for $1.3 million in misappropriated funds”.
Looks like it didn’t hurt Clinton since I don’t remember the scandal but you’ve got to wonder what McCain was doing hanging around with a known con man after he scammed the Clintons.
They are talking about events from 2 years ago. I don’t think Follieri had been found out yet had he?
