Is he involved with this bribe?

The High Court yesterday said the decision by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to end its two-year probe into Al-Yamamah, the £40bn arms contract between BAE Systems and Saudi Arabia, might have been unlawful.

It will now be subjected to a two-day judicial review hearing early in the New Year.

Rich Ashooh is “influential”? Give me a break. Outside of vaguely realizing that I have heard his name before, I couldn’t have told you who he was. So he’s a former staffer for the slimiest RINO politician in recent memory from NH. Warren Rudman’s treatment of Robert Bork, Ollie North and Clarence Thomas was despicable and I will never forget or forgive him for it. Hopefully Mitt can overcome having people like these in his corner.

If you have some hard evidence that links Mitt Romney to bribery on his part please present it. I’d love to see it. Otherwise, you are engaged in mindless slander. Unfortunately, it’s par for the course in today’s politics which is why so many people are under the impression that politicians and political hacks are less than honorable people.

BAE knows how to buy a willing seller.

BAE is big in West Virgina too.

Joining Senator Byrd at the Harrison-Marion Regional Airport runway extension ceremony. Mollohan is a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. It determines the funding for thousands of government programs, totaling 40 percent of the federal budget (most of the rest is mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid).

It's nice to see everyone loves Pork.

Considering Rudman's flirtation with liberals like Gary Hart and Asooh's co-chairing of One Vote '08 in New Hampshire, this does not surprise me at all since Mitt is a liberal too.

Wow, another somebody that nobody has heard of endorsing a RINO. Cue the trumpets (and the ATM machine).

I asked if the BAE person was involved with this bribery?

If he is involved I would expect Romney to drop him!

Mittwitts are laughable. Just ignore the record. Anybody who exposes Mitt for what his record shows him to be..a flaming liberal..and immediately you all jump in claiming the person who wrote the piece (or poster who linked it) is a hater. The scary part of it all is that Mittwitt tactics are so much like the tactics that liberals use to hide the truth. Might explain a few things I guess.

How's about we wait to hear if something illegal actually happened, as opposed to "might have been unlawful", before we start convicting people and candidates, shall we? Mitt has dumped others who he learned were not acting appropriately, let's give him a chance to do the same here if it becomes necessary.

Reading the other posts from people who knew who this BAE person was, it seems he is not such a good person to have on Romney's side.

It seems odd to me that anyone using Reagan’s name as a part of his FR identity should attach himself to Romney’s candidacy. I don’t believe that Reagan would support Romeny, at least not prior to the primaries.
