Keeping the Blood Lines Pure

You know Royalty has aways required marriages to remain within royal blood lines, and so it seems with American political royalty.   Chelsea Clinton comes from pure political heritage with, shall we say, less than stellar reputation, so it was only fitting that she marry into a political family with at least a less than stellar reputation in order to maintain the peerage.

Some disreputable people once insinuated her biological father was really Janet Reno, but I never subscribed to such malicious rumor mongering.

Anyway, her husband, Marc Mezvinsky meets all requirements.  His father, Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky is both a politician and a convicted criminal so everything is copacetic.

Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky

Edward Mezvinsky born January 17, 1937, is a former Democrat congressman.

As a Democrat, he represented Iowa 's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.

He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon.

He and the Clinton's were very politically intertwined for years.

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.

He was sentenced to 80 months in (Federal) prison.

Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams.

After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008.  He remained on federal probation through 2011, and still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
