Yes this is the same Chris Dodd that was responsible for heading up Banking financial reform and we all know whose favor that got worked out for now don't we.
Most Americans, I’m certain, would say it is highly unethical (and potentially criminal) for a U.S. Senator to cut a deal to help out a convict in exchange for cash and favors, and then lie on official financial disclosure forms to cover up the scandal.
