It takes a special kind of stupid to drop that much cash trading on good inside information ...
I’m afraid after the FBI’s press conference this morning, we will be taught that the Clintoons never commit their crimes “intentionally”. They are just, “sloppy, sloppy, sloppy”. Just a bunch of incompetent oafs.
Chels and hubby are living the lifestyle of urban potentates. You know it’s taking a lot of Clinton Ca$h to keep that party going.
I so disagree...on the incompetent oafs part. They became sloppy just like every criminal that remains un-touched for decades. Eventually, they make a mistake.
Incompetent...hardly. The Clintons were able to build a political machine few ever dream of. These people are very dangerous. They have no true ideology, they seek power, money, position. Altering the message when and where the wind blows....to remain in power.
I truly believe their biggest downfall...not yet realized, will be their foundation and the money laundering through it. Like has been said, “It's not the crime, it's the coverup”.
That’s what I was thinking! Wow!
I’m afraid you’re exactly right.
Chelsea's FIL, Ed Mezvinsky, is a former Democratic congressman; he sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He was outspoken, saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and the nation and should be impeached.
Later, Mezvinsky served seven years in a federal prison for stealing money from his friends, family and associates through a series of crude Nigerian-based scams. Sap-happy Mezvinsky was targeted as a likely subject for the infamous Nigerian black ink scam.
Edward, a lawyer, was married when he met Chelsea's MIL, Marjorie----they soon got married---but divorced after Edward got conned into several notorious Nigerian-based email financial frauds guaranteed to make you rich.
In his haste to get rich quick, to raise money to get in on these "heaven-sent" investment schemes, Edward defrauded many of his friends and business contacts.....including Marjorie's mother.
Alas, when the Nigerians got their hands on Ed's money, they did a 23-skidoo. Having failed to come up w/ payback, Edward got nabbed by the long arm of the law. Mezvinsky pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony counts. He did hard time----spent 7+ years in a federal prison w/ no chance of parole, and still owes $10 million in restitution.
Democrat Congressional 2014 candidate Marjory Margolies is also no stranger to the dollar disease. Because of her husband's felony convictions, she filed for bankruptcy. But the court would NOT discharge her of her debts, finding that she could NOT explain where some $1 million in assets had vanished, in the previous 4 year span...during Mezvitsky's crime spree.
In their heyday, Ed Mezvinsky and then-wife Marjorie, herself a former Democratic congresswoman from Pennsylvania (an ex-TV reporter---and recent election loser), were part of the political and social elite in Philadelphia.
The Mezvinskys were close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at the White House. Prosecutors say Mezvinsky exploited his ties to the Clintons, including his son's relationship with Chelsea, to woo investors to contribute more money to the Nigerian schemes.
In an interview with Des Moines Register from prison in 2003, Mezvinsky said he found the notoriously fraudulent Nigerian Black Ink scam "convincing."
"The Nigerian man came out with a chemical, threw it on the money, and it all turned to $100 bills. He gave me 10 to have them tested back home. And they were real," Mezvinsky told a reporter.
LOSSES GALORE: 2014 candidate Marjorie was flacked by the Clintons but lost her bid to get back into Congress.
=======================================
REFERENCE Mezvinsky, who married Chelsea Clinton in 2010, founded the investment firm Eaglevale Partners two years later with the help of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter. Billionaire investor and Democratic megadonor Marc Lasry was also an early investor in Eaglevale.
The firm, which manages about $330 million in total, is down 1 percent on the year, which is slightly worse than average for hedge funds. Since its inception, Eaglevale has posted what the New York Times described as “uneven performance.” Mezvinsky’s financial trouble is unlikely to concern wife Chelsea, who has said she could never bring herself to care about money. That didn’t stop her from turning down a $600,000 annual salary at NBC News to do basically nothing except interview the Geico gecko from time to time.
The money-losing couple lives in a luxury $10 million luxury condo in Manhattan’s trendy Flatiron District.
I sincerely hope the two Clinton grandkids can grow up to be honest and trustworthy people. It’ll be a hard task with corrupt parents and criminal grandparents in their lives.
Clintonian = corrupt to the core
How embarrassing would it be to lose tens of megabucks insider trading and end up in prison to boot. Ooops... but then again, look at that face!
Well, I think she IS sloppy, but the poster meant they have wriggled out of many messes by using it as an excuse. Like Sandy Berglar who “forgot” he had put incriminating documents in his socks because he’s sloppy and absent minded.
He always looks like he hasn’t had a shower in weeks!
Who says it was lost, or even invested? It could be a madoff type situation.
It should be investigated
>Depending on what the meaning of IS...is.
>What, like wipe it with a cloth?
>I did not send or receive any messages marked classified.
They do play the stupid game. Their base sucks it up hook, line and sinker. Speaks to the voters intellect does it not.
Remember when Hillary stood before a black crowd...I believe in a Southern black church and put on this dumb @$$ chitlen and hog jowl black accent.
“Ain't nobody told me no” “I ain't no wayz tired”
The crowd cheered her. Doesn't give one a warm fuzzy about the electorate now does it?
For a couple hundred grand I would have told the kid that the Greek bailout wasn’t going to happen. :-)
Chelsea’s hubby may end up sharing a cell with his prisoner Daddy.
There’s just no end to this bitches corruption.
Traitors are surrendering US land to Russians, Uranium for speaking fees!
Charlotte Hubbell-Mezvinsky has an interesting set of forebears.
Two of her grandparents are convicted felons.
Plus an impeached POTUS as step grandad.
And of course granny Hillary should be in the slammer too.
