1. His father was Carter's Secy of State who-

resigned "on a point of honor" when Carter sent in a special ops mission to try to free the hostages in Iran. (IT was a bad failure, but hard to see how it was 'dishonorable'.)

Anyway, interesting factoid.

[underpants]

4. Thanks. I was about to ask.

Kind of strange that he wouldn’t use some sort of suffix to distinguish himself.

[BigmanPigman]

15. I thought it was the same guy until I read the replies.

I figured that if Carter is still alive, than Vance could be too, just a very old DA.

[BeyondGeography]

30. That's not so far-fetched actually

The guy Vance Jr. replaced (Robert Morgenthau) was 90 years old.

[cojoel]

8. like Jr.?

[Scarsdale]

32. Maybe Vance Sr. colluded

with Reagan. Remember, HE did not want the hostages released until AFTER the election. Maybe Vance Sr. was paid to screw this up?? Vance Jr. may be living the good old "family values"??

[calimary]

34. "Family values" indeed.

[Scurrilous]

2. K&R

[Botany]

3. One more count on Trump's indictment.

Lock him up

[Mister Ed]

5. They should also investigate former FL Attorney General Pam Bondi

... who, if I recall correctly, dropped her investigation into the fraudulent Trump University after receiving a large "campaign contribution" from Trump.

[WeekiWater]

6. Was Pam Bondi the 'Pam' on secret Donald Trump tape?

[erronis]

21. I believe that the linkage was made to Pam Bondi. Don't have the bg info right here.

[Scarsdale]

33. Gitmo will have to

be re-opened to accommodate all the players in this evil tRump campaign.

[exboyfil]

7. From Trump's charity even

He should have never been allowed to walk away from that.

[dhol82]

17. It was only $25,000. Another one selling out cheap.

[DRoseDARs]

9. Every day, more cockroaches. God almighty this is going to be wild when it all shakes out. nt

[PaulX2]

10. Bernie / Elizabeth Have Been Talking About The Rigged Game

For a long time.

Until we clean up crap like this we can't call ourselves a democracy.

Sorry.

Lock Them ALL Up

There are hundreds / thousands of Trumplike criminals out there. Until we get the money out forget it. They can buy their way out of any crime every time.

Epstein may have raped 60 little girls and got work release.

[elmac]

13. as long as we are a capitalistic plutocracy

there will always be separate justice for the haves and have nots.

[erronis]

22. And as long as the SCOTUS is rigged and passes shit like Citizens United

then we can't have justice and a better democracy.

[Volaris]

29. I think the depth and scope of this one tho, will get enough people woke

That we should be ready to push hard for a Publicly-funded elections amendment (because if we're ready, we can get it) that's how pissed people will be at what's been done to our supposed democracy. There are levels of corruption that we can accept, and levels that we just won't.
This will be the latter.

[Farmer-Rick]

24. So true

this is capitalism eating democracy.

[Power 2 the People]

14. +1000

11. Crime Family

12. No pardoning your way out of state level charged either.

[dhol82]

16. Damn, he sold himself cheap!

Should of held out for lots more.
Donnie could have asked Pootie.

I can imagine a reasonable fee from many of them would leave him sitting on a secret acct in the Caymans.

[dhol82]

23. Dunno. It would a hell of a lot of $25,000 payoffs to warrant trip to the Caymans.

[2naSalit]

25. If there's a regular flow of such funds

over time could add up.

[2naSalit]

18. I've had a jaded view of him for a while now...

glad he's being looked over for fraud. I want every last one of the traitorous enablers to be punished just as severely.

But you know, that's makes this smell more like a RICO case with this new tidbit...

[SayItLoud]

20. And in FLORI-duh....State AG got $$$$ from tRUMP and dropped tRUMP University case.

Be nice if that was looked into as well as the Vance . Pam Bondi took the contribution...visited Mar-A-FARGO many times to hit up other grifters...and a "lot of people saying" she did other stuff with the Orange pig.

[UniteFightBack]

27. Maybe it is being looked at. Think about it..we know about it..so will they. I'll bet there's even

more there once the FEDS start looking under the covers.

[Laxman]

26. Cyrus Vance Has Been Giving Trump A Pass....

for years.

Manhattan District Attorney Says He’ll No Longer Accept Contributions From Lawyers With Cases Before Him

Cy Vance had faced criticism after declining to prosecute high-profile defendants such as Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. and Harvey Weinstein, whose lawyers had donated to his campaign.

In October, ProPublica, WNYC and The New Yorker reported that Vance had overruled prosecutors who wanted to bring felony fraud charges against two of the president’s children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The office had been investigating the two for making misleading statements as their father’s company attempted to sell apartments in a struggling condominium and hotel in downtown Manhattan called the Trump SoHo.

During the investigation, in 2012, Vance met with Donald Trump’s lawyer Marc Kasowitz. Kasowitz had donated $25,000 to Vance for his first re-election campaign. Vance returned the donation before the meeting. Then he declined to prosecute anyone in connection with the investigation. A few months later, Vance accepted more than $50,000 from Kasowitz and lawyers at his New York firm, Kasowitz Benson. Vance, in comments to ProPublica at the time, denied that Kasowitz influenced his decisions, but announced that he would return the second donation from the lawyer.

28. It doesn't explain who was doing it prior to 2010.

[Grasswire2]

31. Hooray!!

He's so crooked it's a wonder he gets his pants on.

[calimary]

35. Crooked as a corkscrew.

36. Add Pam Biondi to the list of bribes
