C Crawford: Foley Gave Reynolds $500,000 (not $100,000)

[stopbush]

Craig Crawford just reported on MSNBC that he has learned that Foley actually gave $500,000 to the
R Election committee. He didn't say if that was last summer or is it was a cumulative total over many years.

3. Where the hell did he get that much cash???

6. I've been wondering the same thing

This may be where the most damaging part of the whole sordid story will lie.

9. My guess is look @ some of the missing Iraq money

and the Lincoln Group too ....

Dept of Defense gives front group aka Lincoln group money
to buy P.R. in Iraq .... the Lincoln group "kicks back" the money
to various Repug campaigns and groups (about 30%) .... and tax
money is now washed and in repug hands.

10. I think you are absolutely correct. This money is funding the War

on Terror....and it's aimed directly at us.

11. It seems to clean to me.

D. o D. (department of defense) has been giving $ to all kinds of
"new players" in the contracting game (some of whom are just P.O. boxes)
but all seem to be big contributors to the bush machine.

A nice way to launder money.

4. ho-ly shit

8. It was cumulative since 1996.. Craig misled a bit

and "only" 100K was directly to Reynold's campaign..
