Obama Campaign Pledges To Return Corzine's Donations If He Is Charged In MF Global Investigation

An official with President Barack Obama's reelection campaign told Reuters that it would return money from MF Global CEO Jon Corzine if he is brought up on civil or criminal charges.

Corzine is a major bundler for Obama, raising over $500,000 for the reelect according to the campaign — and he has maxed out his personal contribution as well.

As of yet, no charges have been brought against Corzine or his bankrupt company — though several federal agencies are investigating the firm's collapse.

Holder will assure that he's not charged. What a government, eh?

I read an article that said there is at least a billion and a half dollars missing from segregated investor accounts. This is theft on almost Madoff levels.

Exactly. Obama decides whether he gets charged, and he’s not a Republican, so it’s a fix.

And, just how much coverage of this have we seen on the cable channels?

It’s all about the very public “harassment” of a purported sexual nature by Cain.

Lemme see, which is the bigger story- 1.5 billion loss to clients, by using their funds for CDS gambles, or attacks on Cain from the shadows?

Sick of what is happening to this country.

Sounds like typical lefty covering of their inferior ends when phalanges found in cookie jar...

Didnt one of those brothers who helped found ACORN raid the cookie jar and the Soros funded foundation pulled his fat out of the fire? Sounds like the same move.

Guess what a half mil in campaign contributions will buy?!? Why doesn't Ozero return this money just because Corzine is a dirtbag that co-mingled $1.5 bil in investor's money while negotiating himself a $12.1 mil golden parachute for destroying the firm? This moron is twice the level of Madoff and yet no MSM coverage on his ties to Obama. How close are they tied: If Obama quit walking suddenly, he would need to pick Corzine out of his wedgie.

A remarkable statement. They have just admitted that they have a financial incentive to make sure Corzine is not prosecuted.
