It's like Obama is bribing the lobbyist.
When I heard that stupid Whitewater crap, that a deal where the Clintons lost $5000 was being investigated, I knew it was bullshit, which it was, because in real crooked stuff, the crooks end up with the money or 10% of a baseball team.

As usual our resident DNC talking points guy, presents only half the story. The 1/6 of the lot was only half the deal.
Rezco paid Full price for the attached lot and they closed escrow on the exact same day. The question is why didn't Rezco get a break in the purchase price vs. the asking price?? The 2 properties are attached and the properties were sold on the same day by the same owner. Whether true or not, there is an appearance that the properties were sold in conjunction with one another and the sale price of one affected the sale price of the other. Of Course, this could just be a huge coincidence and Rezco may always pay the asking price regardless of what property is available.  yeah sure.
This deal stinks boys. It stinks, stinks, stinks. Its the kind of stink that never goes away. The "Saintly Senator" will be answering questions about this forever.
