Senator Dodd is up for re-election in two years. It's no surprise he wants his benefactors rewarded as soon as possible so that they will fund his campaign again. en.wikipedia.org "Dodd was elected to the Senate in the 1980 election and was subsequently reelected in the 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2004 elections." ... "The watchdog group opensecrets.org pointed out that the Dodd campaign was heavily funded by the financial services industry, which is regulated by committees Dodd chairs in the Senate." ... "Dodd received a $75,000 reduction in mortgage payments from Countrywide at allegedly below-market rates on his Washington, D.C. and Connecticut homes.[22][23] Dodd has not disclosed the mortgages in any of six financial disclosure statements he filed with the Senate or Office of Government Ethics since obtaining the mortgages in 2003." Merriam-Webster could put his photograph next to the definition of corrupt. Senator Dodd is a Demorat.
