Company with ties to Terry McAuliffe is under SEC investigation

An electric-car company co-founded by Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (D) is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission over its conduct in soliciting foreign investors, according to law-enforcement documents and company officials.
The SEC subpoenaed documents in May from GreenTech Automotive and bank records from a sister company, Gulf Coast Funds Management of McLean. The investigation is focused, at least in part, on alleged claims that the company “guarantees returns” to the investors, according to government documents.
GreenTech has sought overseas investors through a federal program that allows foreigners to gain special visas if they contribute at least $500,000 to create U.S. jobs. Gulf Coast, which is run by Anthony Rodham, the brother of former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, seeks investors for GreenTech and arranges the visas.

Like anything will happen….
This should get McAuliffe a pretty healthy bump in the pools. DemocRATS love crooks.
A badge of honor for Dems...like prostitute scandals, intern affairs and penis pictures.
Cash for visas scam.
Is McAwful going to get elected governor of VA? He’s a stinkin carpetbagger.
...too bad he’s most likely going to be the next governor of Virginia.
The republican party of Virginia has deteriorated drastically in the last 10-15 years. At this juncture, they are pretty much nothing but a bunch of corrupt, pitiful, democrat-lite losers.
...their ONLY saving grace: So far, at least, they have not jumped on the “common sense gun restrictions” bandwagon.
Which, admittedly, is a pretty good saving grace.
No, no, no! The “media” must instead focus on a few thousand initially unreported (yet since rectified) donor gifts to Cuccinelli! Priorities!
Please... they're quite a ways from comparability to the weak-kneed national party. I didn't like that tax hike scheme that passed recently anymore than anyone else, but let's review the bidding.... they have NOT embraced homo "marriage," gun control or Obamacare. They also have been supportive of abortion restrictions and voter ID. Granted, they're not Ted Cruz material, but let's give them credit where it's due here.
Do you think any of the MSM will mention him being Hillary’s campaign chairman back in ‘08?
Terry McAuliffe set the standard for Democrat slime.
He's referred to in DC as a "soul-less animal with no redeeming values"....in other words a scum-bag and slime-ball.
But then, lmost all the Clinton associates over the years have been corrupt money-men, scum-bags and slime-balls.
I hope he ends up in the slammer for fraud, with Bernie Madoff as his cell mate.

The Punk, as Rush calls him.
DOJ will be too busy “investigating” the post-acquittal Zimmerman situation. That “investigation” will never result in indictment, but will go on for as long as Zero remains in office.
Thanks Sub-Driver.
