Clinton, Reid, DNC took campaign contributions from deathbed identity thief
2013-10-15
[DAILYCALLER] Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Preibus called for Hillary Clinton
... former Secretary of State, sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edmund Randolph ...
, Harry Reid
... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ...
, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to return campaign donations they received from a man who pled guilty to identity theft of the terminally ill.

Clinton, Reid, and the DNC all received donations from Joseph Caramadre. Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe invested $47,000 in an illegal business in which Caramadre applied for annuities and bonds with the stolen identities of dying people.

Caramadre donated $27,000 to McAuliffe's last gubernatorial campaign in 2009 and hosted a fundraiser for the former DNC chairman. McAuliffe and his campaign immediately vowed to make contributions to the American Cancer Society to atone for the investment and 2009 campaign contribution from Caramadre.

"The allegations are horrible and he never would have invested if he knew he was being deceived," said a McAuliffe front man.

But the RNC found that the scandal is wider than initially thought.

Caramadre and his wife Paula have donated $13,000 to Hillary Clinton since 2005, $9,200 to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid since 2007, $5,000 to the DNC since 2007, and $28,250 and $25,250 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) respectively since 2006.

#4  If you're going to steal, be a Democrat, if you're not a Democrat donate to several, that gives you the right.
