BTW: LBJ made $325 million on the Vietnam War. Lady Bird made plenty, IN ADDITION.


LBJ was a wholly owned subsidiary of Brown & Root, he didn’t fart without George or Herman Brown’s permission.

Brown & Root was THE contractor in Viet Nam, the venture was:
Brown & Root
Morrison Knudsen

...and Gentleman Bird was a dirt-poor one-room schoolhouse teacher. He later claimed that all the money that bought a considerable amount of Texas media came from Lady Bird’s family.

This was yet another impossible lie because her parents owned a run-down poor grocery store in the middle of nowhere.

Follow the money trail and you will find the Clinton’s are involved. Most of the time they are on the receiving end. How much of that money ever gets reported as “income”?
There is probably more than enough evidence to put them away for generations, not years.

That relationship began very early.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._Brown

In 1936, Brown & Root was awarded a contract to construct the Marshall Ford Dam (now known as the Mansfield Dam). The construction was almost stopped in 1937 but was allowed to continue when Lyndon B. Johnson (then a very junior congressman) helped push through special legislation. The project was part of the New Deal, and was completed in 1942.[3][4] During World War II, the company’s work was expanded to military construction. Over 300 water crafts were constructed.[4] The company was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service in 1942 for giving bonuses to employees who had agreed to donate to Lyndon B. Johnson. Brown & Root was ultimately fined $372,000.[4]
