Fugitive Stanford Financial ties to Democrats...

Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 01:33 AM by kirby

Lets see.. The biggest recipient of political donations was Sen Bill Nelson of Florida at $45,900. Sen Dodd got $16,000. Let see, Charles Rangel got $10,800. President Obama got $31750. Schumer himself got $17,000.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Cmte (run by Schumer) got $965,500.

We have heard Repuke Cornyn is tied into this guy, but he ranks below Nelson.

1. What shame? That the guy didn't tell them he was commiting fraud?

2. You have to figure as well that Stanford was smart enough to see political realities. . .

and gave more money to those who were going to win the election cycle than to the fading stars of the dying GOP.

Oh, what a scandal for the Democrats -- unknown criminals sought to ingratiate themselves with them for unspecified purposes.
