Thread Name: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
Subject: RE: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds had sex with a subordinate, won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate, then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate as a Youth counselor. He received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, lies to the Federal Election Commission and convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. He also was convicted of having sex with an underage campaign volunteer. Jesse Jackson put him on the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition payroll as a youth counseler and Bill Clinton pardoned him at the urging of Jesse Jackson.
