HillRod and ethics issues just don't seem to go away. We reported about a member of her staff facing charges for spying on a former associate. Now, her brother has surfaced again in terms of nearing a settlement for not paying back a carnival operator. I always said Hillary and Clinton Inc. were sideshow phonies. Heh. Anyway, here is the skinny, from FoxNews:A lawyer for the brother of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said he's confident he can avoid a trial next week and settle a lawsuit that accuses Tony Rodham of failing to repay debts to a Tennessee carnival operator.
That should be a relief to Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign since the case could have revived stories about how her brothers accepted money from people pardoned by her husband, President Bill Clinton.
Rodham is accused of failing to repay $107,000 plus interest to the bankrupt estate of Edgar Allen Gregory Jr. and his wife, Vonna Jo, both of whom received a presidential pardon in 2000.
Rodham claims in court documents the money he received from the Gregorys was for consulting services, but the trustee for the Gregory estate claims it was a loan. Rodham was reached by telephone Thursday at his home in Vienna, Va., but declined to comment.
In court filings, Rodham says the Gregory estate actually owes him money. He said he was owed $130,000 for his work between June 1998 and August 2002.
Collins said in January that he had tried to get Rodham to repay the loans for almost two years.
Collins had Rodham's accounts frozen in 2005 after Rodham failed to respond to an initial complaint. A judge ruled that Rodham was in default on the loans, but later released the accounts after Rodham appealed.
The Gregorys received pardons for a bank fraud conviction from President Clinton about two years after Rodham became a paid consultant to United Shows of America, a carnival business the couple owned.
Rodham has said he talked to his brother-in-law, who was then president, about a pardon for the Gregorys
After Clinton left office, the Republican-controlled House Committee on Government Reform found that United Shows paid Rodham $240,000 for undocumented consulting services and that President Clinton was interested in the pardons solely because of his contacts with Rodham.
Now, what about ethics and Presidents, Mrs. Clinton? Where is the true culture of corruption? In your bedroom perhaps?
I KNOW NUTTZING!!!!NUTTZING!!!!!!!!!
