Meet Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky’s Dad, Marc Mezvinsky
By Erin Dooley

Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky has been dubbed “the Clinton baby,” but Chelsea’s new bundle of joy is also part of the Mezvinsky family – and Bill and Hillary Clinton aren’t her only interesting grandparents. Chelsea’s husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is heir to a once-powerful political dynasty.
His father, Ed Mezvinsky, was a two-term Democratic congressman, representing Iowa’s first congressional district from 1973 to 1977. But in 2002, the former congressman pleaded guilty to swindling more than $10 million from family and friends in a Ponzi-esque scheme.
Ed Mezvinsky himself also fell prey to a number of get-rich-quick schemes, including a “black money” scam in which a Nigerian man allegedly sold him a chemical that was supposed to remove ink off of $100 bills. Authorities say scammers probably used plain black construction paper.
His wife, Marjorie Margolies, who divorced Ed in 2007, also served a term in Congress.
Her election to Pennsylvania’s 13th district seat in 1992 came on the heels of a 25-year career in broadcast journalism, including a stint at NBC’s “Today Show.” On the hill, Margolies cast the deciding vote for President Clinton’s controversial 1993 tax bill, a move that cemented her friendship with her future daughter-in-law’s parents but likely cost her reelection in 1994.

Forgive me for taking this seriously in any way, but what would be the point in removing the ink from $100 bills? To make $500 bills? Good luck transacting those.
The child was innocent while in the womb but, now and sadly, just hours after birth, is on her way to being a typical libtard KKKlitoon.
The baby daddy isn’t hiding out in Jackson Hole anymore?
I thought that daddy seahorse would be expended after dealing with the ovipositor.
Why did they give the baby the middle name Clinton? What’s up with that??
If you plan to print counterfeit $500 bills, you may as well print the $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000 bill (good old Salmon P. Chase). They were all discontinued in 1969.
Then once it's out of the country, the bills can be soaked in a magic fluid that will remove the black ink, but keep the original ink in place.
They say that conmen are the easiest to con. I guess this is an excellent example.
Scoundrels and scalawags, their families epitaths.
Ya, that’s what I thought, that all bills over $100 were discontinued years ago.
What would a counterfeiter do with $500s or $1000s?? I mean, if you try to do money laundering or just try to deposit them in a bank, such bills will be studied very carefully, precisely because they aren’t in circulation anymore.
All of the denominations greater than $100 sell to collectors for a for a sizeable premium above the face value of the bill.
As a result, it's extremely rare than anyone would try to spend one of those bills. If one of those bills hits a bank, then it's taken out of circulation. If it hits a merchant who is savvy, it's taken out of circulation.
Any collector or a bank is going to scrutinize any denomination above $100. I imagine many merchants refuse to accept them.
$10,000 bills were only printed in 1928 and 1934. Only about eight 1928 $10,000 bills are known to exist. Most of the 1934 $10,000 bills known to exist came from the hidden underground vault on the property of Lonnie "Ted" Binion, the son of "Benny" Binion, of Las Vegas Benion's Horseshoe fame. Binion's 1934 $10,000 bills are in poor condition.
A poor condition $10,000 bill has a retail value of about $30,000, last I know.
Webb Hubbell is alive, well, and a proud grandfather.
No public comment yet from Bubba, I see.
Watch, she will grow up to be a Republican.
Marjorie wrote a book “They Came To Stay” back in the 70’s (I read it) about when she adopted 2 Vietnamese girls as a single mom when she worked at a news station. Always wondered what happened to those 2 girls.....she was ready to ship them back. Anyone know?
The knives are out for Clinton. Who will ABC be rooting for?
Odd that Chelsea would marry into this family since it would not help her Mom’s run for POTUS.
Oh!! He'll fit right in!!!
I’m guessing Elizabeth Warren will be hog tied and forced into running!!!
