I just heard Lynch (republican who was going to run against Wesler) that they were about to file a suit for money laundering against Wexler—also ‘voter fraud’ for not living in florida!
“Interesting timing, eh?”

Everybody got their ducks in a row?

Crist was a strong supporter of Obama’s presidential rival, John McCain, during the campaign, but the Arizona senator is one of the more prominent Senate opponents of the spending bill. McCain told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the bill in its current form amounted to “generational theft.”
Gov. Crist to Join Obama at Townhall Meeting to Pitch Stimulus
What was Charlie Crist thinking? | Salon
Why did a Republican governor just add tens of thousands of Democrats to the voter rolls in Florida?
Crist, who became governor after handily defeating Democrat Jim Davis in November, ushered in a proposal that will quickly restore the voting rights of most of Florida’s felons as soon as they are released from prison. The plan looks sure to alter the political landscape in the nation’s most populous — and electoral-vote-rich — swing state.

Marco Rubio Crushing Charlie Crist Among Florida GOP Grassroots

A Washington lawyer notes that campaign filings show Wexler has paid fees to four law firms apparently related to an investigation of potentially improper corporate contributions from a Florida investment firm to his House campaign last year. About $3000 in legal consultations and fees noted in filings here, and about $5000 in legal fees recorded in filings here. He hasn’t filed for October, my colleague Jonathan Allen notes. By comparison, Rep. Rangel is clocking in at more than $100,000 a month, Allen says. Wexler did not respond to an emailed query.

Wonder if he is planning to relocate? what Middle East country doesn’t have an extradition treaty with US?
BHO Adm has ears/eyes everywhere & had to have known about all the detritus about to hit the fan -— yet they gave Wexler a promotion?
You are on to something here Liz!!!
Notice that whenever the BHO Adm has to “reposition” one of its players, they always go for a 3-fer (or even a 4-fer) — ALWAYS:
1) Damage control to prevent “throwing under the bus” a more inept player..... or to prevent a scheme from being exposed. 2) The repositioned player is always “promoted” no matter how egregious the crimes. 3) The repositioning always advances THE PLAN.... and, 4) the deal ALWAYS involves BHO and his players looting the US Treasury.
A most powerful insight---thanks.
Here is an interesting tidbit concerning Wexler’s Financial Disclosures. (legistorm.com)
His disclossures are available from 2003 - 2009
All if them have the same address in Florida (prolly his office or his mother-in-law’s couch) with the exception of 1 year, 2007.
“Redacted by Legistorm for Privacy”
It is the only disclosure that has the ‘signature of reporting person’ redacted as well. Every other year it was Wexler himself.
After (cough) leaving the Clinton admin, Rahm Emanuel got rich overnight in the Chicago office of Wasserstein Perella & Co. (w/ his pal Bruce Wasserstein) as it was being acquired by Deutsche Bank.
Rahm put together a merger involving Chicago-based Exelon Corp (also one of WH insider David Axelrod’s biggest PR accounts)......and also financed Obama’s political career.
I see about 50 single-spaced typed pages of crimes here.
=======================================
(Not guilt b/c sociopaths have no guilt), COS Rahm is defensive about his overnight deal-making millions......which financed his own rise to power.....and won him the Democratic primary for the Illinois House seat to replace Rod Blagojevich, a former mentor, in 2002.
Recalled one entertained Republican, “I saw a Democratic member of Congress walk up to Rahm and ask, ‘So how did you make $18 million in an afternoon sitting at a table in Chicago?’ And Rahm just turned and walked away. It gets to him.”
Yeah something smells, and it either involves a refrigerator full of cash, a dead girl or a live boy....
small correction:
“Damage control to prevent “throwing under the bus” a more inept player.”
“more IMPORTANT player”
~~~~~
“the deal ALWAYS involves BHO and his players looting the US Treasury.”
your above remark might also want to include confiscation of private assets. I just came from the thread below & was so speechless, I could only bookmark:
Congress Moves To Seize Control Of All U.S. Waters
They are attempting to pass the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2009 (No House Number - S 787 In Senate) that would amend the 1972 Clean Water Act and replace the words “navigable waters” with “waters of the United States.” Further, it defines “waters of the United States” with such breathtaking scope that federal agencies would be required to regulate use of every square inch of the U.S., both public and private.

Is Robert Wexler Under Criminal Investigation?
Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile)
Wednesday, October 14th at 3:04PM EDT
Yesterday, unexpectedly, Robert Wexler (D-FL) resigned from Congress. No one saw it coming. One of the suggestions is that he may be up for the ambassadorship to Israel. But it makes little sense for him to resign before confirmation, let alone the nomination.
Based on a Charlie Crist campaign manuever, I’m wondering if Wexler might actually be facing an indictment and trying to get out of it.
Charlie Crist is closely connected to Alan Mendelsohn, a Hollywood, Florida eye doctor and big time fundraiser for Crist. Mendelsohn was on Crist’s gubernatorial transition team and is a close friend. Unexpectedly, authorities recently arrested Mendelsohn and several others in a serious corruption probe.
To distance himself from Mendelsohn’s taint, Charlie Crist, acting as Governor trying to save a flailing Senate bid, called for a statewide grand jury investigation of government corruption.
In the news article, there is this curious line:
Crist and Florida law enforcement officials said the statewide grand jury would not interefere with ongoing, federal investigations in Broward County and elsewhere in South Florida.
Wexler’s district is in South Florida and covers parts of Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
Hmmm . . .
I don’t know anything about Crist, but based on just the little I found in post #242, I am wondering if Crist is a well-heeled RINO
A sampling on Crist.

thouworm to Liz: The putrid stench of this corruptocracy......the Dem Party & BHO admin run like classic crime syndicates......Conspiracy; RICO...... (but who’s going to indict the crooks?) .....
Notice that whenever the BHO Adm has to “reposition” one of its players, they always go for a 3-fer (or even a 4-fer) — ALWAYS:
1) Damage control to prevent “throwing under the bus” a more important player..... or to prevent a scheme from being exposed. 2) The repositioned player is always “promoted” no matter how egregious the crimes. 3) The repositioning always advances THE PLAN...., and ,
4) the deal ALWAYS involves BHO and his players looting the US Treasury........includes Marxist Ohaha's secret plan to confiscate private assets.
REFERENCE This FR thread will leave you speechless: Congress Moves To Seize Control Of All U.S. Waters They are attempting to pass the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2009 (No House Number - S 787 In Senate) that would amend the 1972 Clean Water Act and replace the words “navigable waters” with “waters of the United States.” Further, it defines “waters of the United States” with such breathtaking scope that federal agencies would be required to regulate use of every square inch of the U.S., both public and private. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2362264/posts
Curiously, Florida L/E said a "statewide" grand jury would not interefere with ongoing, "federal" investigations in Broward County and elsewhere in South Florida.......Wexler's Cong district.
FOLLOW THE MONEY Gov Charlie Crist is closely connected to Alan Mendelsohn, a Hollywood, Florida eye doctor and big time Crist funder......he was on Crist’s gubernatorial transition team, and is a close friend.
HOWBATDAT? Authorities recently arrested Mendelsohn and several others in a corruption probe. Crist is calling for a statewide grand jury investigation of government corruption to distance himself from Mendelsohn’s taint.
U.S. Robert Wexler is becoming president of the Center for Middle East Peace & Economic Cooperation, a non-partisan organization devoted to a peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Its activities include diplomatic exchanges, opinion research, policy development, and conferences featuring world leaders.
For example, Wexler said, the Palestinian president recently outlined a two-year plan for creating institutions for health care, education and transportation. The center would help.
“I will be raising the profile. I will be invigorating it ... to be a remarkably relevant place in Washington,” he said.
http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/broward/blog/2009/10/wexler_resigns_his_new_job.html
The sucker says the (gag) Center for Middle East Peace & Economic Cooperation, a non-partisan "foundation" will be devoted to "a peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict," and will conduct diplomatic exchanges, opinion research, policy development, and conferences featuring world leaders."
Oh, please. How dumb are these Mideast stoopnagles?
This has been going on for 50 years---we've lost count of the photo-ops in the Rose Garden....that end up costing American trillions of dollars, that disappear into those Mideast stinkholes.
These morons couldn't make peace over a mall parking spot.
The only thing Wexler will be negotiating is the price taxpayers will have to cough up to see Obami and that yahoo Bimbi shake hands in the Rose Garden (gag and hurl).
