Interesting, but sad... what this country has become.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/mezvinsky.aspWho is Ed Mezvinsky?
Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky born January 17, 1937, is a former Democratic congressman. As a Democrat, he represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977. He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He and the Clinton's were very politically intertwined for years.
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. He was sentenced to 80 months in Federal prison. Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams. After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008. He remained on federal probation through 2011, and still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
So who is he?
He's Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.
Has anyone heard mention of this in any of the media?
If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's daughter's father-in-law, the news would be an every day headline.
Some say there is no double standard in politics... s-u-r-e there isn't!
Chelsea and her husband just bought a 10 million dollar condo in Manhattan, at only 33. Go figure!!!
The Kick In The Butt: After serving time in prison he comes out to collect full government pension and benefits for life.
