Gibson Guitar CEO on Obama DOJ Raids: ‘We’re Being Persecuted’
http://www.breitbart.tv/gibson-guitar-ceo-on-obama-doj-raids-were-being-persecuted
Very interesting interview. I didn’t realize the feds also raided Gibson in 2009. They seized $500k worth of wood and are still holding it despite Gibson having never been charged for anything. Gibson is still in court fighting that one.
The Gibson prez says nearly all guitar companies use Indian rosewood fingerboard blanks yet Gibson is the only company that’s been raided. The host speculates that it might be the result of political donations or Gibson being a non-union shop and he replies that either might be possible. That tells me he’s contributed to Republicans and has gotten on the regime’s enemies list. You roll it all together — the union angle, the environmentalist angle, the political angle — and Gibson apparently makes an irresistibly juicy target.
