How do you buy all of that real estate....2 in the US and 1 in Ireland making $125,000-$150,000 per year?
I’d like to know. The man had virtually no assets in 1992...and all of a sudden by 2002..he had all of this property and rentals!
PIRATE OF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER!!
DEMOCRAT CULTURE OF CORRUPTION!
So sick of the media covering for these scumbags!
Wow, I have to say that that house is drop-dead gorgeous, elegant, and in beautiful taste. How nice it is to be the King of Thieves. Any more pics of this lovely abode?
LOL..PERFECT!!

THE OTHER DODD - A FORMER EXPORT-IMPORT BANK EXECUTIVE NOW STANDS RELUCTANTLY IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS HER HUSBAND MAKES A RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
Hartford Courant, The (CT) - Sunday, July 8, 2007
Author: DAVID LIGHTMAN; Washington Bureau Chief
Chris Dodd first noticed Jackie Clegg on the Senate floor one day about 20 years ago.
She was young and attractive, but the congressional aide was not about to get close with a U.S. senator.
``I was a staff person,’’ she said. ``I was rather deferential.’’
But Dodd had asked her boss, Utah Sen. Jake Garn, about her, and when Garn organized a charity ski event in Park City, Clegg , coincidentally, was designated as Dodd’s ski instructor.

Jackie Marie Clegg Dodd, now 45, had the all-American upbringing, growing up in a place named Utah Valley but known as Happy Valley in Orem, Utah, a middle child among six — ``that meant I could hide most of the time,’’ she said. Her father was a staunch Republican, a role model of a man who had been a history and economics teacher, but became a real estate broker and home builder when the third child arrived.
(snip)
During the second Clinton administration, she was a star at the Export-Import Bank, which wasn’t always a popular role.
The bank helps finance and promote U.S.-made goods and services in other countries. Clegg ‘s toughest challenge came from inside the bank, where the sight of a younger woman dashing about, setting the agenda, was not always welcome.
(snip)
Under Garn, Clegg , who had a master’s degree in national security studies from Georgetown University, specialized in a number of areas, including national security, foreign policy and trade.
She was the classic Washington staff member, anonymous to the media and invaluable to her boss, one of those people you see in the halls, all business, briefed to the teeth and ready to spill it all out to the senator.
After their meeting in Utah, Clegg ‘s and Dodd’s relationship became Washington’s worst-kept secret when the two began showing up at Clinton White House state dinners. She was by his side in Connecticut when Dodd announced he would seek re-election in 1998.
They married quietly in June 1999. ``I didn’t want it to be a big thing,’’ Jackie recalled, and it wasn’t. They wed in the backyard of Dodd’s East Haddam house overlooking the Connecticut River in a quiet ceremony in front of 60 friends and family.
(snip)
Most of her time these days is spent raising their children, Grace and 2-year-old Christina. And it’s when talking about them that she gets most serious, even steely.
She still works, sitting on five corporate boards and running a consulting firm, working from home and steering free of conflicts. Virtually no one, even in this age of instant Internet reaction to everything, has raised questions about the wife of the Senate Banking Committee chairman engaging in such activity.
Jackie Dodd volunteers answers to the questions anyway. The Chicago Board of Trade’s business goes through the agriculture committee, not the banking committees in Congress. The rental giant Blockbuster does give her discounts on rentals — she chuckles at the thought — but somehow that doesn’t seem likely to incite a major scandal.

Jackie M. Clegg was appointed as a director of Blockbuster in July 2003. She serves as Managing Partner of Clegg International Consultants, LLC, an international strategic consulting firm she founded in September 2001. In July 2001, Ms. Clegg stepped down as Vice Chairman and First Vice President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, financier to foreign buyers of U.S. goods and services, after serving in that role since June 1997. She also served as its Chief Operating Officer from January 1999 through fiscal year 2000. Ms. Clegg also serves on the board of directors and audit committees of Brookdale Senior Living Inc., Cardiome Pharma Corp. and Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (chair). In accordance with the listing standards of the NYSE, Blockbuster’s Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Clegg’s simultaneous service on Blockbuster’s Audit Committee and on the audit committees of the foregoing public companies does not impair Ms. Clegg’s ability to effectively serve on Blockbuster’s Audit Committee. She also serves on the board of directors of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
So what is Dodd...about 70?
Yuke....LOL!!
How convenient these Senators have wives to hide their ill gotten gains on.
MSM never reports on negative news for the RATS. Outrageous that Dodd gets away with this type of behavior.

TOWN NEWS BRIEFING
Hartford Courant, The (CT) - Friday, July 25, 2003
EXCERPT
U.S. Senator Buys Boat;
Proceeds Go To Towns
CHESTER — U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd of East Haddam is the new owner of a motorized boat that was purchased in the summer of 2000 for a joint Chester-Deep River police patrol on the Connecticut River.
The boat was purchased for $14,000 with a mix of town funds and private donations. Deep River First Selectman Richard Smith decided to discontinue his town’s involvement in the river patrol earlier this year after Chester and Haddam received funding from the Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant to acquire a larger boat to patrol the riverfront in the two towns.
Smith and Chester First Selectman Martin Heft decided to sell the boat and split the proceeds equally between the two towns. Heft said Dodd ‘s bid of $5,500 was the higher of two bids received in two rounds of bids for the boat. The other bid was $4,700.
Heft said Dodd , who heard about the boat from a friend in Chester, has already taken possession of the craft. ``He’s already been out on the river in it,’’ Heft said.
I bet the boat actually cost more than that when it was bought too. Notice they give no information on what kind of boat it was....(eye roll).
These dirty rats are always milking the taxpayer in order to live high on the hog. They have never produced anything in their entire lives!!
