Tom says on Greta that he'd void the $42 million in contracts with electricity suppliers.

If Davis could have done that, don't you think he would?

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. A contract is a contract, and McClintock is blowing smoke thinking he's just going to "void" them.

McClintock has this black bag theory that Davis did not attempt to void the contracts on the grounds that his negotiator had a conflict of interest with the energy companies, and thus did not pursue that legal line of attack, because it would embarrass him. It does strike me as bad law (you man being compromised is not a ground to set aside a contract unless the other side was involved in a conspiracy to defraud, and planted the mole; that should be a piece of cake to prove, not), and bad politics (because it is not creditable). My man is wrong here, I think.

Hello sinkspur (don't think I have yet had the pleasure...)

Davis cannot void the contracts unless he ADMITS that he or the PEOPLE negotiating the contracts had a CONFLICT OF INTEREST, which would nullify the contracts. Davis could simply ADMIT that HE HIRED THESE PEOPLE but when exactly has Davis said he EVER did ANYTHING wrong...

(...crickets...crickets...crickets...)

That is why Tom has said he CAN acknowledge the C-O-I and nullify the contracts...

Does that clear it up??? Hope so...
