(44,753 posts)1. Remember when Republicans lost their minds over a president who owned a peanut farm?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 Paul J. Curran, a special Federal investigator, said today that an exhaustive inquiry into loans to President Carter's family peanut business by the National Bank of Georgia had turned up no evidence whatsoever that proceeds had been diverted to Mr. Carter's 1976 Presidential campaign.
Mr. Curran, who spent nearly seven months investigating $9.8 million in loans to Carter's Warehouse, the President's family business in Plains, Ga., said: Our audits and examinations of the books and records leave no room for doubt on this score. Every nickel and every peanut have been tracked into and out of the warehouse, and no funds were unlawfully diverted.
There Is no evidence to establish that President Jimmy Carter committed any crimes, Mr. Curran said. Further, my overall conclusion . . . is that based on all the evidence and the applicable law, no indictment can or should be brought against anyone. None will be filed.

I'm sure it was enough that she wasn't a Republican (IOKIYAR) but being (gasp!!) a SHE was really ensuring they would hound her.
