The ink is barely dry on my blog post listing a few of the more recent Democratic Party politicians or supporters who have been charged with crimes, and summarily ignored by the liberals’ media. The latest, Hassan Nemazee, was charged just today with bank fraud. Possibly, therefore, President Obama will appoint him to the post of “Bank Fraud Czar”.
Apparently the entire liberal media is on vacation today because this story is practically non-existent. And I bet they will be tomorrow too. Unless a conservative—a Republican possibly—or at least a Christian—does something awful… like speaking against Obama at a town hall meeting. Or Sarah Palin posts something on Facebook.
I liked this line in the article: “Nemazee Capital, established in 1987, invests in health care, media…”
Health care and media you say. Huh. I also liked ”…graduated with honors from Harvard University…”
Nemazee, Political Fundraiser, Charged With Fraud
Aug. 25 (Bloomberg)—Hassan Nemazee, chairman of Nemazee Capital Corp. and a fundraiser for President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, was arrested on a bank fraud charge and ordered held overnight pending his release tomorrow on $25 million bail.
Nemazee was charged with using phony documents to trick Citigroup Inc. into lending him as much as $74 million.
… Another prominent fundraiser for Democrats, Norman Hsu, was convicted by a federal jury in May of campaign finance fraud for making tens of thousands of dollars in illegal donations. He also pleaded guilty to cheating investors of more than $20 million in a Ponzi scheme. He has yet to be sentenced.
… Nemazee is one of the leading fundraisers for the Democratic Party. He served as national finance chairman for the Senate committee that works to elect Democrats when it was run by New York Senator Charles Schumer.
In the 2008 presidential campaign, Nemazee raised at least $100,000 for Clinton, and then went on to bring in at least $500,000 for Obama after he defeated her in the primary campaign, according to the Washington watchdog group Public Citizen. Clinton is now secretary of state.
Nemazee also served as New York finance chairman for Massachusetts Senator John Kerry during his 2004 run for the presidency.
Nemazee Capital’s Web site carries excerpts of stories that highlight his connections. The first, a Washington Times piece about former President Bill Clinton’s recent mission to North Korea, describes Nemazee as a “friend and longtime Clinton supporter.” …
