IMO it's a mistake to go down this road. Fred was a big bucks corporate lobbyist for a lot longer than Rudy. Corporations tend to have what is considered a RINO agenda.
It's probably inevitable that the MSM will try to make a big issue of his representation of some banking group on a bill that is blamed for the savings & loan debacle.
It's silly to attack politicans for who their clients were when they were private citizens. Lawyers represent people. In their line of work, everyone is entitled to representation. You may disagree, but won't find a lawyer who doesn't think that way.
And if Fred put foreign dollars into his pocket from unknown sources, I'd want to know also.
What is it with all of the folks that want to just put blinders on?
