Future Chelsea Clinton In-Law in Jail
Rumors have been heating up that former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are heading for the altar. If true, the father of the groom would likely be conspicuous by his absence – he’s behind bars.
Ed Mezvinsky, a former Iowa Congressman, was sentenced in January 2003 to nearly seven years in jail after pleading guilty to 31 fraud-related counts.
After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky, now 65, moved to the Philadelphia suburbs with his wife Marjorie, a former TV reporter who won a seat in Congress herself.
The Mezvinskys were friends of Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners, ABC news reports.
Prosecutors said Mezvinsky, an international business deals broker, used his Clinton connections to convince people to hand over more than $10 million. Among his investors were friends, clients and even his mother-in-law.
At the same time, Mezvinsky himself was victimized by several Nigerian e-mail scams that cost him more than $3 million.
Federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told ABC’s "20/20” that Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of Africa-based scam we’ve ever seen.
"He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle.”
Yikes! She's as ugly as Hitlery herself!
Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
Both sets of parents ---Frauds.
He should ask Congressman William Jefferson of Louisiana to open his refrigerator door.
yitbos
Will Chelsea run for the house or the senate in her first stab at political office?
Interesting website....too bad a site like that has to exist...and these are only the guilty ones that have been caught!!!!!
But a dead ringer for Webb Hubbell.
yitbos
Of course she wouldn't be dating a Republican.........that’s a given. Never-the-less biased reporting is biased reporting.
Hilary and Bill hooked her up in a high paying job as soon as she left college. Maybe she wont get into politics. Most politicians take up the law. I guess so they can figure out ways around it. It always worked for Mom and dad.
(Dean-scream)
I've been following this speculation for years.
I see the resemblence...but what would Hillary see in Webb Hubbell? Just money?
I thought she wanted to claw her way out of Arkansas.
What would have been her motive?
What do expect from a MSM Liberal rag like Newsmax.com.
His daddy is in jail. Her daddy should be in jail. They were made for each other.
I remember this case .. he blamed it all drugs he took
Also .. the Mezvinsky's are very tight with the Clinton's
IIRC Chelsea went to the prom with their son Marc (her current boyfriend)

Drug of no choice
In March, the day after a federal grand jury in Philadelphia handed down a massive fraud indictment against him, former U.S. Rep. Edward Mezvinsky sued his doctor, his drugstore and the pharmaceutical giant Roche Holding, claiming the reason he got into trouble with his investment business was because the anti-malaria drug Lariam fogged up his thinking. Mezvinsky, who took the drug for business trips to Africa, was charged with 56 counts, totaling $10.4 million, based, said the government, on a series of lies to banks and clients, including his mother-in-law.
I remember Marjorie!!!! She was the last Congrescritter to vote on a highly controversial tax increase, and voted FOR, breaking the tie. That loyalty to Clinton cost her her seat in '94. Something poetic about the families inter-marrying like Hillary's brother with Boxer's daughter (that didn't last long, did it ?)
She use to be my Congresswomen .. we now call her One Term Margie
She swore up and down that she wouldn't vote for that tax increase of Clinton's ..
Clinton didn't have the votes and called Margie and pulled some favors and she flipped
The voters never forgave her for that stunt
My liberal sister to this day still talks about that vote .. she was really ticked off because Margie gasp lied
"Pulled some favors"??? Probably had the goon squad right outside the door in case they were needed.
Maybe they'll let the father of the groom out for the wedding for a few hours. Like Johnny Sack on "The Sopranos."
