Who Is Edward Mezvinsky?

[Solar]

Read all the way to the end.

He is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937.  Then you'll probably say,
"Who is Ed Mezvinsky?" 

Well, he is a former Democrat congressman who 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 was outspoken saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and
the nation and should be impeached.   
 
The Clintons and Mezvinskys have long been political allies and friends.

In 1993, Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat, cast the vote that got President Bill Clinton's controversial tax package through the House of Representatives.

"She earned an honored place in history, with a vote she shouldn't have had to cast," Bill Clinton wrote in "My Life," his 2004 memoir.

On a darker note, federal prosecutors said Ed Mezvinsky habitually dropped the Clintons' names and boasted of their friendship during the 1990s as he defrauded friends, family members and institutions out of more than $10 million.

Ed Mezvinsky was sentenced in 2003 to serve 80 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to a massive fraud that prosecutors said amounted to a Ponzi scheme. He was released from custody in April 2008, but remains under federal probation supervision.

Both he and his wife were forced into bankruptcy, and they quietly divorced in 2007, court records show.

Margolies-Mezvinsky was not implicated in any wrongdoing, but the scandal effectively ended her political ambitions. She founded and remains at the helm of Women's Campaign International, a nonprofit dedicated to the political empowerment of women.
According to ABC News, Mezvinsky's downfall stemmed from an activity that has long been the subject of one of this site's most frequently-accessed articles, the ubiquitous Nigerian scam (also known as 419 fraud):
Despite being released in April 2008 after serving five years in prison, Mezvinsky remains on federal probation and still owes almost $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.

An ABC News investigation revealed that Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, had been caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams and began to steal from people to further his schemes.

About now you are saying, "So what!"   

Well, this is Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky.   
That's right; Ed Mezvinsky is Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.   

Now Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased a 10.5 million
dollar NYC apartment (after being married in George Soros' mansion).   
Has anyone heard mention of any 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 everyday headline and every
detail would be reported over and over.   

And yet liberals say there are no double standards in political reporting.       
And people are talking about Hillary as our next President!     

The cycle never ends!   Lying and corruption seem to make Democrat candidates
more popular.

Unreal.  I confess I haven't heard that, even though I've read about dozens of other Dem-schmoozings through the years. 

I only knew that Chelsea's (as ignorant as) a biscuit, and there was some sort of hypocrisy-flap about her and her husband being hedge-fund managers.

Biscuit. 

In the words of the late and Great Paul Harvey, "Now you know the rest of the story."

These people are pure scum!
