Can we see the data on Hassan Namazee, Hillary's fundraiser, who was actually convicted (not just indicted) of defrauding banks of $292 million.
No, apparently not. I suppose that story doesn't rate multi-day coverage in the Post--it didn't even merit more than an AP article on A3 some time back. Why would it? It's about a Democrat, not those evil, perfidious, indicted-yet-unconvicted Republicans.

Yes, a good return on a relatively insignificant investment for these guys.
It's Hassan Nemazee, and he did obtain $292 million in loans from three banks.
http://www.businessinsider.com/ex-democratic-fundraiser-hassan-nemazee-sentenced-to-12-years-in-jail-fraudsters-2010-7
"Nemazee, 60 years old, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and three counts of bank fraud in March." At least he saved the taxpayers the cost of a trial.
From http://www.mortgagefraudblog.com/index.php/weblog/permalink/hassan_nemazee_sentenced_for_defrauding_lenders/
"Hassan Nemazee, 60, Manhattan, New York, former political fundraiser, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to 144 months in prison for defrauding Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. ("HSBC"), out of $292 million in loan proceeds. In addition to the prison term, United States District Judge Sidney H. Stein, who imposed the sentence, ordered Nemazee to pay restitution of more than $292 million to the defrauded banks and to serve 3 years of supervised release."
Amazing. He is required to pay back more than he fradulently borrowed. How can he do that?

Only $10,000.00 for Joe Barton? This is outrageous! No wonder no apology is coming from Cong. Joe Barton for the shakedown being applied to the Wylys Brothers.

Well hey, that was money well spent when they were scamming their way out of paying taxes. I mean, the GOP is pretty cheap to buy off when you're a billionare quite obviously. I'd love to see some of their glad handing photo-ops too. It might illustrate the corruption a bit more directly that way.
Funny how you don't see any of those Tea Party flakes ranting about this any.
I guess cause when it comes down to it they're less about the squirrel shooting revolution, and more about sucking off rich dudes, just like the guys who they vote for all the time.
