This guy jumped out of the Democrat clown car in Illinois and was in office for awhile. He's been arrested, jailed, etc.. but Bill Clinton got him out of jail. Now he's romping in Zimbabwe.. should be interesting to try to follow up and find out if the Clintons will rescue him this time. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2561989/Former-US-congressman-arrested-Zimbabwe.html Easier to read and includes pictures at the above link but here is the article: Former Illinois Democratic Rep. Mel Reynolds was arrested Monday in Zimbabwe after police learned that he was making pornographic films in hotels where he had accumulated $24,500 in unpaid bills, and that he had overstayed his visa by two months. A former Reynolds assistant told the state-controlled newspaper The Herald that the Democratic pol had been paying a model and several other girls to produce his pornos. 'His travel documents were not up to date and he used to bring beautiful women at different times,' said the former employee, identified only as Sunny. 'He employed five of us including a personal assistant and a driver.' The Herald also reported that Reynolds had made more than 100 dirty movies and shot some 1,000 nude photos of at least 10 women.

Jesse Jackson, resigned in disgrace after two years in Congress when he was convicted of 12 counts of statutory rape, solicitation of child pornography and obstruction of justice. He was found guilty in 1995 of having sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker. Police ran a sting against the congressman when his mistress, who was too young to vote, told her next-door neighbor about the sexual relationship. That neighbor was a Chicago police officer. More...

The country now has no national currency, and is just beginning to bring in foreign capital, an opportunity Reynolds appears to have grabbed with a group of hotel investors Reynolds tried to return to Congress in 2004, losing in a landslide to Jesse Jackson Jr. â the man who had replaced him in a special election. Jackson Jr. would go to prison himself in 2013 for skimming campaign donations to fund a lavish lifestyle. Jackson, the son of Rev. Jesse Jackson, was a national co-chair of Barack Obama's first presidential campaign in 2008. It was Reynolds' trysts with the 16-year-old campaign aide that opened up Barack Obama's first opportunity to enter politics. Following the Congressman's indictment, state Senator Alice Palmer leaped forward to challenge him in a Democratic primary. Obama immediately put his name forward to win the open state legislative post, starting his meteoric rise to the White House. A friend from Obama's community organizing days had been Palmer's campaign manager, and made an introduction.

'They denied me my passport so that I can contact the United States Embassy which is a violation of international laws,' he said. 'It's the way it is,' Reynolds added, defending himself and suggesting that he was the victim of a scheme to embarrass him. 'I have been in this country 17 times where I have done a lot of work for the people including the fight against sanctions,' he insisted. But a source told The Herald that Reynolds had received a 14-day visa on November 13, 2013. He renewed it, said the source, but it expired again on December 10: 'He has been in the country illegally all along.' Some of Reynolds work in Zimbabwe includes work as a middle-man for investors who bankrolled a $145 million Hilton hotel and a related office complex that is scheduled to begin construction in April.
