Hey AG John Ashcroft, apparently you didn't realize that T-Mac's a Felon 'cuz
The Department of Justice--YOUR DoJ--ain't done SQUAT about it!!!
Now you'll know...MUD
Do we have the evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the campaign contributions were bribes for export waivers?
The contributions were not illegal on their face. In fact it would be unusual if a major company's PAC , officers and shareholders did not make contributions to officerholders who shared their business philosophies. Maybe we should ammend the constitution to prohibit officers and shareholders of companies that seek export waivers from making political contributions.
Is there a tape or signed memo that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the contributions were specifically made in exchange for waivers? Or can McAullife claim that the contributions were made because Clinton shared their opinion of what types of waivers were appropriate? Or even that they made the contributions in hope that they would influence Clinton to give more favorable consideration to their request for waivers.
Remember that the investigations concluded that it was entirely within the President's discretion to grant the waivers, regardless of how unwise they were.
Can you show us the smoking gun that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an explicit quid-pro-quo of contributions for waivers? Maybe a video tape or telephone tap tape, or memo, email, letter, or other document wherein McAullife says that a waiver will be granted in exchange for a contribution of X number of dollars?
Usually people don't put bribes in writting or on tape.
What specific evidence of quid-pro-quo do we have at this time?
