Thanks for your #37.
Federal officials say the passport scheme is not related to terrorist activity.
I'm getting tired of this disclaimer, though a diplomatic passport could be as useful for smuggling drugs or money as for smuggling terrorist supplies...
I'd like to know more about the Texans...
Or just let a rumor leak out back home he's an ATF or on the state DTF then pick his jury from Cosby & Newport :>}
Kidding aside if convicted he needs to be made an example. He's just one more in a never ending line of Tennessee politicans selling government services. About 1978 we had a governor selling pardons, clemency for cash, liquor license, you name it. He's just another one that got caught.
at least he kept his corruption limited to other Americans, unlike the crew that sold missiles & leased the Lincoln Bedroom to the Chicoms.
Humphreys indicated that he had heard rumors of who the big fish is that the Feds want to net but was uncomfortable naming the person. Since Al Gore was one of the people that Davis contacted, I wonder if he might be the big fish. Don Sundquist? A good point was made as to why would 2 people from Texas select a Tennessee Legislator to obtain such phony documents. Did he owe them? Was this blackmail? Did Davis stand to profit from this deal? How did Davis come to know these Texans? Lots of stuff to be answered.
