Who?


Article up over at NRO Online about the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. Marjorie Margolies was trounced in the race by a young ner do well.  

Why do we care Rumbear? Who is she? 

Well, maybe you remember her as Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky. Married to Ed Mezvinsky. Still drawing a blank? Maybe you will recognize her inlaws.
 

Yeah, those two, er three.

"Last night, Marjorie Margolies, the only candidate both Bill and Hillary Clinton have gone all out for so far in this election cycle, was crushed in a primary for a Pennsylvania congressional seat she once held." 

Walk with me down memory lane for a bit.  Allow me to refresh your recollection as the trial lawyers say.....





He is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937.

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.



He and the Clintons were friends and very politically intertwined for many years.



Ed Mezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter Marjorie Sue Margolies and later married her after his wife divorced him.



In 1993, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat in Congress, cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clintons controversial tax package through the House of Representatives.



In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.



Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams.


He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison.



After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008 and remains on federal probation.



To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.



About now you are saying, C’mon Rumbear…..so what!



Well, this is Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky.

 


 

Thats 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.

Now you know "The Rest of the Story"......
