Teflon Tony Rodham, the Clintons’ Shady Id
National Review ^ | May 28, 2015 | BRENDAN BORDELON

Sitting in a courtroom three years ago, after skipping out on a sizable legal bill, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s youngest brother struck a reassuring tone: Don’t worry, the money is coming.

“I deal through the Clinton Foundation,” Tony Rodham said, according to court transcripts uncovered by the New York Times. He gave his word that Hillary and Bill were setting him up with Haitian-government permits to build a $22 million housing development in the earthquake-stricken country.

“I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from,” Rodham explained, promising a $1 million check once the Haitian-government paved the way, enough both to cover the outstanding legal fees and take his family to Disney World.

The construction deal fell through, but Rodham managed to settle his debt. And the next year, he got another crack at making money in Haiti’s heavily-regulated economy when he joined the advisory board of a company, VCS Mining, which was developing a gold mine on the island. He’d met the company’s CEO at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. “I go to see old friends [at the meetings,]” Rodham told the Washington Post, “but you never know what can happen.”

“... you never know what can happen.”
The most accurate statement ever uttered about America’s First Crime Family.

Exactly... there are people in slam, sweating out hard time for crimes less flagrant than what the ‘Clintons’ do DAILY, and have been doing for DECADES!

Good find. The weakest link is very shaky.

He’s the type to not just spill the beans, but dictate a novel with minimal pressure.

Its almost time to bring back the water board for a boatload of similar dem grifters.

There’ll be more screeching than a room full of cats in a room full of rocking chairs.
