[Mel Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography. His sentence was commuted on the bank fraud charge and he was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a halfway house. Reynolds had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.]
Mel Reynolds
[On February 18, 2014, Reynolds was arrested in Zimbabwe for overstaying his visa. He was allegedly found to be in possession of pornographic videos he had filmed with several women at the hotel where he was staying. Possession of pornography is a crime in the country. He had also purportedly accrued over $24,000 in hotel charges that he had yet to pay.[5] The pornography charges were later dropped, but he pleaded guilty to violating immigration laws, and was deported to South Africa. He claimed in early March 2014 to be hiding there from Zimbabwean death squads, who he claimed were targeting him because he possessed information about American companies from Chicago doing business illegally in Zimbabwe.
On June 26, 2015 it was announced that Reynolds had been indicted by a grand jury for failure to file federal income tax returns for the 2009 through 2012 tax years.[6] If convicted, Reynolds could be subject up to a maximum of one year in prison and a $250,000 fine on each of the four counts.[7]
In July 2015, Reynolds missed his arraignment. His lawyers said he could not return to the US because of a problem with a daughter's health. It was not clear where Reynolds was, although he had previously hid in South Africa out of fear for his life. [8]
Later career
In January 2001, Reynolds was hired by Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/Push Coalition to decrease the number of young African-Americans going to prison.[9]]
I think a full assessment of the Pardongate might ought to include seeing what these people have done since.
[Mel Reynolds now says he's innocent, won't plead guilty
May 17, 2016
For a guy who claims jail restrictions have kept him from preparing for his upcoming trial, former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds sure has found plenty of time to write letters.
In the four weeks Reynolds has been locked up at the Kankakee County Jail for bail violations, he's written to U.S. District Judge John Darrah at least four times, complaining about everything from his health to gang members who may be targeting him for a long-ago political slight.
He's alleged he was put in protective custody by federal authorities, a move that has kept him from accessing the jail's law library to prepare his defense against misdemeanor tax charges. Last week, he even said he intended to plead guilty because of his dire situation.]edit on 27-8-2016 by IgnoranceIsntBlisss because: (no reason given)

So was Thomas Jefferson, proponent of republicanism. Stop trying to force party guilt by association.
Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.
Edwards claimed in court records that the government and Epstein concealed the deal from the victims “to prevent them from voicing any objection, and to avoid the firestorm of controversy that would have arisen if it had become known that the Government was immunizing a politically-connected billionaire and all of his co-conspirators from prosecution of hundreds of federal sex crimes against minor girls.”
A hebephile is a person who is primarily attracted to adolescents, or children who have at least started puberty and have signs of adult sexual maturation, but are still young and developing both mentally and physically. Generally, this means teenagers and preteens between 11 and 14 years old.

The Clinton Foundation has been a major news story recently. But why? Is there anyone in America who doesn't already know the Clinton Foundation is corrupt? And if the media really wanted to expose the Clinton Foundation they'd be highlighting the foundation, as well as Bill Clinton's, deep ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This video briefly explores this oddity.
