The timeline of events had directors dumping paper to cover losses on MLK Day in the US. This triggered a massive sell off on Monday January 1st, 2008. He sold his shares a good two weeks before this.

Bush’s fault. He’s guilty because he knows this guy. Guilt by association, one of the standard Liberal MSM weapons.

My ex-wife married a billionaire to, but I got to keep our dog.

If the dates are right he sold his shares 2 weeks before the incident. I find it hard to believe that the bank waited 2 weeks and then unwound the positions on such a low liquidity day.

"a major cash backer of Mr Bush"

Unless he's found a way around campaign finance laws, the most he could "back" GWB's campaign was $2600. Or is this guy named Paw?

He may be a friend of George but being a French Bank Board insider seems to be the more important relationship in this case.

I think they missed part of the story (as usual)...

Day is a pal of Clinton’s ex-Secretary of State Warren Christopher and once entertained the Democratic chief on his yacht.

I tell everyone that my exwife ran off to work in a New Orleans Whore House. I only say that because it’s too humiliating to admit she’s a paid staffer with the DNC.

LOL!

A buddy of mine's wife ran off with his best friend and came back two days later and stole his dog.

How is it “legit” to drag Bush into this?

You fool, this is one of the most important pieces of news coming out of France, we’re talking about a BCC or LTCM level of corruption, and it directly affects the future viability of the national US Republican party.

Robert Day has actively donated millions of dollars to dozens if not hundreds of Republican candidates and special interest groups over the years. He also directs other very high net worth individuals on where to donate to the GOP. This guy is the biggest of big fish for Republican fundraisers.

Gee whiz, not close to the millions Hillary and bill have taken.
Exposing Hillary’s Illegalities In Los Angeles Court To Begin Feb. 21 2008
The Hillary Clinton Accountability Project will shortly launch its fundraising drive to raise $500,000 to support the most important citizen’s legal initiative of 2008. The landmark civil fraud suit of Paul v Clinton et al which the California Supreme Court ordered to proceed against the Clintons, Grammys Producer Gary Smith and Clinton agent Jim Levin, will be set for trial and a discovery schedule at a special conference to be held in Los Angeles Superior Court on February 21, 2008.

The first law suit in American history to bring a President and a Senator to court for defrauding the Senator’s largest campaign donor and his public company will be set for trial and discovery at the Case Management Conference before Judge Munoz. Discovery and depositions of key witnesses, including the Clinton family, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe, Harold Ickes, Howard Wolfson, Kelly Craighead, Barbara Streisand, Brad Pitt, Larry King, Mike Wallace among an array of political and entertainment leaders, will present an inside look at a culture of corruption that will shock the public.
