A recent Freedom of Information lawsuit revealed that the original influence-peddling, deadbeat presidential relative was still having his schemes discovered, even seven years after he died mysteriously.

In a June 26 announcement, public-interest watchdog Judicial Watch released 77 heavily redacted pages of FBI records pertaining to a 1996 investigation into Tony Rodham, amid allegations of wire and mail fraud.

According to the documents, Rodham, the brother of Hillary Clinton, was accused of bilking investors as part of a Romanian vehicle import scheme.

The probe of his brother-in-law would have been taking place right in the midst of then-President Bill Clinton's reelection campaign, lest anyone wonder how it got buried for the past three decades.

Judicial Watch has been seeking records into Rodham since three days after his death in June 2019, which would have ostensibly closed any still-pending investigations into him that allowed the FBI to withhold sensitive materials.

In August 2019, the agency acknowledged having 13,000 pages of records and media files that somehow related to Rodham.

"What's currently in the public record about the schemes of Hillary Clinton's little brother Tony likely just scratches the surface," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a press release last December. "Clearly, the Justice Department has been sitting on a wealth of information."

The newly released documents show that Rodham undertook a business venture in the summer of 1996 called East European Imports, Inc.

Rodham and his business partners claimed that they had exclusive rights to import and sell two models of a Romanian four-wheel-drive vehicle.

However, "[q]uestions have now arisen as to whether, in fact, EEI ever had a legitimate contract with the Romanian government, and/or with the Rumanian [sic] manufacturer or exporter," Judicial Watch said in its press release.

Nonetheless, Rodham and his business partners proceeded to demand nearly $70,000 apiece in deposits and fees from prospective dealerships seeking to sell the automobiles.

None of the vehicles were ever imported to the U.S.

Rodham, like several members of the Biden family, used his ties to power to run several scams, both for his own enrichment and as an intermediary for the Clintons.

He fashioned himself as a "facilitator" at Chinese investor conferences and sought contracts following a major earthquake in Haiti, during which the Clinton administration flooded the zone with disaster relief that likely came directly back into their own orbit.
