Obama's Commerce Secretary Didn't Report $80 Million In Income
2013-05-25
[BREITBART] Barack Obama
We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us...
's close friend and major fundraiser, Penny Pritzker, who has been nominated to be the new Secretary of Commerce, didn't include more than $80 million in income in financial disclosures she filed last week. Pritzker, who is a billionaire, supposedly "inadvertently omitted" this tiny part of her fortune. Her lawyer, Robert Rizzi, wrote the Commerce Department on May 21 that the money was not included in the May 15 filings that were reviewed by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics "because of a holy manal error and through no fault of Ms. Pritzker."

Susan Anderson, Pritzker's personal spokeswoman, said Prizker's "financial advisors" discovered the mistake within the 184-page submission. The $80 million in income was derived from Pritzker being paid over ten years for consulting for more than 400 domestic trusts, which were being restructured because of an intergenerational family feud that split into 11 family lines. Some of the entities being fought over were the Marmon Corp., Hyatt Hotels, Union Tank Car, Conwood Company and the Hyatt Center office building in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
. Anderson said, "Pritzker provided advice on the restructuring, managing and in some cases, selling various trust assets."

#1   "Pritzker provided advice on the restructuring, managing and in some cases, selling various trust assets."

Legal code-speak. Literal translation: Payment of inheritance, services rendered, then conveniently forgotten.

PritzkerÂ’s biggest hurdle toward confirmation will be Republicans grilling her on the major stain on her record, the 2001 failure of Superior Bank, a Hinsdale Savings and Loan, and tax avoidance strategies employed by her trusts and business empire.
