Yet another reasonn to loathe Pelosi and her "most ethical congress in history."

[malia]

“——but Speaker Pelosi should provide details——”

[Mr. K]

I owned 14 buildings at one time and so had to deal with AT LEAST 50 different contractors for various things...

It is my experience that the people you can trust the least are the ones who say “You can trust me”

It never occurs to an honest person that he has to tell others how ethical he is

[lonevoice]

Ping for a subject I believe is of interest to you

[eeevil conservative]

Well, well, well...now isn't this interesting...

I don't know if this legal but it sure doesn't pass the ethical “smell test.”

Me thinks, Pelousy’s office will be inundated with calls today...inquiring minds want to know.

Can you imagine the response if Denny Hastert had been publicly linked with, say, Kirk Kerkorian, on some big investment deal?

[griswold3]

interesting!

A synopsis of this story should be included with any story on Nancy Pelosi. Hopefully it will eventually become impossible for MSM to ignore.

I'm e-mailing authors of any stories about her, asking them if they know of the potential conflict of interest, ala CLNE, the Speaker has.

It is difficult to imagine a more unlikely pair of investors than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens.

No it's not. They are both scam artists fleecing the American teat.

[twistedwrench]

Here is another politician T Boone is probably in cahoots with
since he has America’s largest CNG vehicle refilling company

T Boone is not a stupid man. He knows his return on investment
is more lucrative with corrupt politicians than wall street.

[longtermmemmory]

Pickens wants “transmission corrodors” what he is saying is that he wants the federal government to eminent doman TAKE LAND AND LAND RIGHTS in the name of his company.

IOW KELLO DECISION ON THE MARCH.

He can’t buy the land so he wants to take by government.

Can you imagine the response if Denny Hastert had been publicly linked with, say, Kirk Kerkorian, on some big investment deal?

This is much worse than Newt's book deal, IMO.

[Flycatcher]

Ping. I suppose you don’t believe this story either, eh, Ben Ficklin?

[TigersEye]

Are there no conflict of interest laws or rules for Congress at all? This is amazingly brazen corruption.

[raybbr]

He (Pickens) has repeatedly said that no government help is needed to pursue his plan to build the world's largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle. Yet he is lobbying hard for extension of the Production Tax Credit and National Renewable Energy Zones -- essentially a huge tax shelter for wind industry investors and expedited eminent domain for transmission corridors.

[eeevil conservative]

ROFL!!!!!!!

[Flycatcher]

Yes, I know. I got into a little dust-up on a different thread earlier about this very thing. FReeper Ben Ficklin doesn't believe any of this is true. That's why I pinged him. But if he doesn't believe me, he probably won't believe you either.

Thanks for the post and the info.
