Democratic fundraiser indicted in NY

When are we gonna learn that very few of them get to as rich and powerful as they do with any kind of intact sense of ethics or moral responsibility. But hey... these are the ones our politicians go to when the salaries WE pay them just won't cover the style of living to which they have become addicted.

Quote:
NEW YORK — A wealthy fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other top Democrats has been indicted on bank fraud and aggravated identity theft charges in an alleged $292 million Ponzi scheme.

Federal prosecutors announced the indictment against 59-year-old Hassan Nemazee (hah-SAHN' nah-MAH'-zee) in New York on Monday. It claims he fraudulently obtained loans from three banks between 1998 and this year.

Nemazee served as national finance chairman for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, and later raised money for President Barack Obama after her primary defeat. He also was Sen. John Kerry's finance chairman in New York for his 2004 bid for president.

Nemazee is under house arrest as part of a $25 million bail agreement. His lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment.

I wish they would do away with fundraisers for politicians altogether. Say it outloud... "Fundraiser for a Politician" and it jsut sounds crooked. Fundraisers are to help the library buy more books, the fire dpeartment buy toys for needy children at christmas, the local youth soccer team raising money to pay for a trip to play in a tournament somewhere. Fundraiser for a Politician.....

They need to call them bribe solicitation parties or something.
