Ain't that sump'n? Rahm makes friends so easily----betcha he was voted "most likely to succeed."
After Mr. Emanuel left banking to run for Congress, members of the securities and investment industry became his biggest backers, donating more than $1.5 million to his campaigns dating back to 2002, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
How much did Ponzi Madoff, and that ilk, donate to Rahm?
With Rahm in the WH, Madoff might be dreaming of a presidential pardon........not a White Christmas.
Madoff’s victims are starting to call for a bailout!
“then went on to make more than $18M in just 2 1/2 years”
Rmember the outrage when Newt made 4 mil on his book deal? What exactly do you trade for this kind of loot?
I know, Terry McAuliffe! That's how much he sucked out of Global Crossing before it went belly up. He did it a year sooner than Rahm but Terry did pony up 100k to prime the pump, so to speak.
Well, now that we've set the price, too bad Blago didn't just ask for $18M himself instead of all that long, drawn out haggling that gave Fitz enough time to nail him.
Hey, how much did Madame Secretary-elect make on those cows?
This continues to cascade...
Rahm’s story (and he’s sticking to it), is that he cut off the tip of his middle finger in a meat slicer. Guess he should have stuck with ballet — her trained at the Joffrey Ballet, but reportedly turned down a scholarship there.
I’m convinced that most people become politicians for their own personal enrichment. It hasn’t much to do with public service.
The connection may well be Wasserstein...his firm Lazard has been hired to oversee Madoff's finances.
