Allen Stanford: Friend and Supporter of Democrats

As the sordid details of Allen Stanford's fraudulent banking operations become available, one thing we learn is that among his other activities that included ripping off investors and laundering money for drug dealers, he was a very big $$$$ supporter of the Democrats:

The SEC's fraud charges may be the least of accused financial scammer R. Allen Stanford's worries. Federal authorities tell ABC News that the FBI and others have been investigating whether Stanford was involved in laundering drug money for Mexico's notorious Gulf Cartel.

The federal investigation, however, did not stop Stanford from using corporate money to become a big man at last year's Democratic convention in Denver.
A video posted on the firm's web-site shows Stanford, now sought by U.S. Marshals, being hugged by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and praised by former President Bill Clinton for helping to finance a convention-related forum and party put on by the National Democratic Institute.

The Clintons have a long history of association with crooks. Remember James Mcdougall, Charlie Trie, James Riady, Marc Rich, etc., etc., etc.
