(162,385 posts)1. The brothers and Tim's son have all done well, haven't they?
They were all over Bill Clinton during the right-wing assault on Bill Clinton during the impeachment era. Then they just faded away, to make a whole lot more money, undoubtedly, with no interruptions, and little oversight.
Tim should be so proud of his creepy son.

Charity Executives, Former Arkansas State Senator Indicted for Embezzlement and Public Corruption Scheme
Two former executives of a Springfield, Missouri-based charity and a former Arkansas state senator have been indicted by a federal grand jury for their roles in a multi-million-dollar public corruption scheme that involved embezzlement, bribes and illegal campaign contributions for elected public officials in Missouri and Arkansas, announced Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Departments Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Tim Garrison of the Western District of Missouri.
Bontiea Bernedette Goss, 63, her husband, Tommy Ray Goss, aka Tom, 63, both residents of Springfield, Missouri, and Boulder, Colorado, and Jeremy Young Hutchinson, 45, of Little Rock, Arkansas, were charged on March 29, 2019, in a 32-count indictment by a federal grand jury in Springfield, which was unsealed today.
The indictment alleges that the Gosses, who were high-level executives at Preferred Family Healthcare Inc. (formerly known as Alternative Opportunities Inc.), and Hutchinson, who is an attorney and served as a state senator in the Arkansas Senate from 2011 to 2018, along with others, participated in a conspiracy from 2005 to November 2017 to embezzle and misapply the funds of a charitable organization that received federal funds, to pay bribes and kickbacks to elected officials (including Hutchinson), and to deprive the citizens of Arkansas of their right to the honest services of those elected officials. According to the indictment, in exchange for the bribes and kickbacks offered by the Gosses and other co-conspirators, Hutchinson and other elected officials allegedly provided favorable legislative and official action for the charity, including directing funds from the states General Improvement Fund (GIF).
The indictment also alleges that the Gosses and others defrauded the charity, and the governmental entities that funded the charity, by embezzling and misapplying charity funds for their personal benefit, including, but not limited to:
* causing the charity to pay for chartered air flights for the Gosses to commute between their home in Colorado and their work at the charitys office in Springfield;
* providing millions of dollars in interest-free loans to their for-profit companies;
* charging the charity inflated prices to lease vehicles from their for-profit companies;
* renting charity-owned commercial real estate to one of their for-profit companies at below-market rates or, in some instances, for free; and
* using charity funds to pay for personal services for themselves, including child and pet care, housekeeping and cleaning their personal residences, picking up and delivering groceries, and shoveling snow, among other personal services paid for by the charity.
