Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the Gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times, caught by Pinkerton Detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.
A Lady e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of Professional image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch:
"Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government

facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

Technically she isnt lying.
Civil meeting in his honour, standing on a platform and it collapsed.
Never her an execution sound so eloquent.
Thats a very dangerous woman, with as much corruptness in her blood as bush has from his mothers side with another failure of a president (PIERCE)

Thanks for sharing this. Hillary is good at covering up. Like the mask that she wears. Underneath is a very evil woman. She could not tell the truth if she tried. I believe that her Uncle was a horse thief. But since elections how can she admit that. Like it would be held against her. This is what makes me mad about a lot of politicians. They are only human and not perfect. Can't be ashamed of heritage. It is the past. As for Bush, well not sure what to say on that one. Just think, he is almost out of office. Let us hope that Hillary does not take his place.

Does not surprise me at all, apparently the thief part does carry on through the genes.

Not that anyone would care about somebody's great-great Uncle's demise, would you say that this is how ugly rumors get started? Makes you feel you should check the facts.

Dude... great great uncle?
You dig with genealogy enough, you can find some strange stuff. Who knows who your 5 cousin's father's uncle was?
