I wouldn't worry about that. Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz isn't a Republican.
The first report by Fox News Correspondent John Roberts said that Juszkiewicz "has contributed to Republican candidates as well as some Democratic candidates."
And that was true. Juszkiewicz has rarely donated to political candidates. He donates to primarily to the Consumer Electronics Association, which contributes to both parties.
His last contribution to a candidate was to Democrat Congressman Cooper (TN).
Despite what Roberts had first reported and despite the facts from opensecrets.org, during his appearance on Fox News' America Newsroom that same day, Roberts said only that Juszkiewicz "has donated heavily to Republican candidates." Do you see a record of "heavy" donations to Republican candidates in the opensecrets.org records?
In three other live reports that day, Roberts forwarded the allegation that Gibson was targeted because Juszkiewicz "donated to Republican candidates," without mentioning that he has also supported a Democrat, or the contributions to just two Republicans.
Juszkiewicz has never donated to the Republican party.
I'm willing to accept other reasons for the raid, but not that Juszkiewicz is a Republican. His controls Gibson as one of the two owners. Gibson is an early member of the Clinton Global Initiative. When Bill Clinton was President and the Lincoln Bedroom and every coat closet had a price tag on it, Gibson rented the entire White House for a 100th Anniversary concert. Juszkiewicz was a presented at MTV's Rock the Vote Awards . . . coincidentally the year that Bill Clinton won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" and Barack Obama was honored. Political contribution reports for Clinton's campaign from Juszkiewicz are not available online.
The Rainforest Alliance, a group that Juszkiewicz helped form (and on which he sat on the board until stepping down after Gibson was accused of illegally importing Madagascar ebony) still battles against manmade global warming.
Juszkiewicz is on the Board of the We Are Family foundation, whose sole goal is diversity and tolerance - promoting the United Nations Day of Tolerance, and sponsoring Mattie's Poetry Jam for poets whose poetry promotes diversity and tolerance.
Somebody grabbed the "Republican" title and ran with it. Juszkiewicz's not a Republican.
There are plenty of other possible reasons for the raid, but Juszkiewicz being a Republican is not one of them.
