From another thread.

An American company got beat out of the sell by P&O by DP World and because Eller couldn't win in the court of law, they simply lobbyied Warner who said he would look into it. That wasn't enough so he went to Schumer who made hay.

The bottom line is this was a business deal UNDERCUT by a competitor of DP World. This was purely a lobbyist play by Eller. If, in the end they get this deal, there should be a serious examination of the money trail from Eller to Schumer, Clinton, et al.

I've had a suspicion about something like this for a long time. Every time P. King and some of the other east coast representatives were asked, if not DP, then who?.....they answered, "well, we will have to 'incentivize' an American company.

Congress had no business in this deal.
