As I pointed out that the time, I bought some property at about the same time as Dodd. Used Countrywide and got about the same deal. Countrywide was a soft touch then. What Dodd got was far from unusual. You have pointed it out but it is, of course, bullshit. This just exemplifies the way you operate. Had a Republican done this you would be all up his ass about it. But let Dodd do it, and suddenly, "Oh, that's totally typical". It isn't. That's why it is an issue. That's why the people in his state have just run his ass out on a rail. It is "far from unusual" ONLY for the so-called "Friends of Angelo". YOU did not get the break Dodd got UNLESS you are a "friend of Angelo". Any claim to the contrary is a lie. Eric Holder was far from the only one affecting his decision. If you read his comments during the decision process, Clinton saw the pardon as a favor to Israel. Yeah, never mind the money. Dumbass. It is amazing the way you can look past bribery as long as it is YOUR party doing the bribing. And, I might add, Scooter Libbey was thoroughly convinced that Marc Rich was innocent of the the tax stuff. WTF does LIBBY have to do with it? He was Rich's LAWYER. You are such a partisan bum. You ought to be ashamed.
