Someday you will know the whole story.

You do know that all major corporations give money to both sides, don't you? It is about business. Peter was so busy trying to build a business that he did not pay attention as we did to what Clinton was all about. He was working for the stockholders to build a global company. Unfortunately, he learned a lesson that destroyed everything for which he had worked.

Part of him being "dirty" was a sting of Fidel Castro for $8.7 million in the attempt to build a wedge between Castro and the Soviets over subsidized coffee. j Castro was cheating the Soviets, and Peter was asked to be part of an operation to expose it and harm Castro. Had Jimmy Carter not been the president, he would have been given a medal of freedom instead of being incarcerated. Really, you do not know the whole story.

You are free, however, to attack him rather than join the cause to help him stop Hillary. That's fine.

No, I don't know his story at all.

But I do run (and own) a fairly large independant oil company, an drilling and workover company, and sit on the boards of several other companies and banks, including several publically-traded companies and a very large non-profit.

I've had some clunker, crooked, partners, and lost money getting rid of them rather than be associated with them.

I have made it a clear goal to run my business --- and the businesses I am involved with --- ethically and to support only those politicians who are good for the USA, regardless of what it does to my company on the short term.

Taken some hits as a result (especially at the non-profit --- which is too dependant on government grants) but, overall, I sleep well at night and have gotten far ahead of where I would have, if I had dealt with the ilk of the Clintons --- or many Republicans.

He may be --- and probably is --- a wronged man. I wish him well.

But I do not follow the enemy-of-my-enemy is my friend, and, even if true, what he has stated is pretty much what one gets when dealing with someone scummy like the Clintons.

There are other ways to get a business going.
