It is no secret that Bill and Hillary Clinton have close ties to shady individuals, many of whom have lengthy criminal histories.
Well, a major Democratic donor, who Bill Clinton pardoned in the mid-1990s, is back in the news again for all the wrong reasons.
Edward Downe Jr. pleaded guilty in 1992 to violating insider trader laws, and was fined $11 million and sentenced to community, but Bill Clinton conveniently pardoned him.
Well, Downe Jr. is being accused of violating more federal financial laws.
From The Daily Caller:
Now, a lawsuit has been slapped on Downe in New York for urging an investor to lend money to a banking apps provider that was apparently never repaid. Dr. Michael Cantor is suing Downe for repayment of his $100,000 loan and is suing the banking apps provider, Urban FT, as well.
President Clinton granted Downe a full pardon in 2001 after former Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd spoke on behalf of Downe’s case.
Downe gave $1,000 to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign and was invited to a White House state dinner during her husband’s last year in office. Additionally, it was later discovered that Downe had helped Dodd buy a house in Ireland around the same time of Downe’s conviction.
This is yet again another example of the Clintons shady associations with well-known criminals, and is yet another reason why she shouldn’t be allowed near the White House.
