Should we be worried about this Raymond Reggie thing?

[YEM]

They say this guy has been an informant for the FBI for a few years. That's a bit screwed up. Do they have FBI informants in Republican circles??

Anyway, Who knows what this guy has been taping,

1. Can you tell more info?

I don't know too much about this.

2. He is Kennedy's brother in law.

Supposedly he was an informant for the FBI as well as a big campaign contibuter. I don't like the sound of it. I've been scouring some con sites and many seem to think he has tape recordings. Of what I don't know. This might get interesting.

Kennedy brother-in-law pleads guilty to fraud

4/22/2005

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A prominent political consultant who is Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's brother-in-law pleaded guilty Thursday to fraud charges in a scheme to cheat banks out of money.
In a plea bargain, Raymond Reggie admitted to one count of bank fraud and one count of bank fraud conspiracy. Judge Carl Barbier set sentencing for Oct. 26.

The conspiracy count carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while the bank fraud charge carries up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Terms of the plea deal were not immediately available.

Defense attorney Michael Ellis declined to comment outside the courtroom. After the charges were filed in February, Reggie would only say: "There's a lot more to it."

Reggie's sister, Victoria, is married to Kennedy, D-Mass. Reggie runs a media consulting firm, and as a political consultant has worked on the campaigns of Democrats including former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and former Vice President Al Gore.

4. NO!! Hillary should have her game plan ready and we should not get

distracted from keeping the pressure on DeLay!

5. Is your main fear

he could implement dems concerning his fraud charges?

7. Is this the thing Dick Morris is trying to promote?

Didn't get in at the beginning of the segment with former philandering Dick Morris, but is this the thing that married, but former toe-sucking other women Dick Morris said (encouraged on by a "thrilled for the dirt" Hannity)? He also said this could send Hillary to prison. What is he talking about?? Dick Morris would say anything to bring down the Clintons' He is a creep, and I don't believe anything he says. If he was employed by the Dems tomorrow he would be singing a different tune. He is a gun for hire to the highest bidder, in my opinion.
