"According to Henrickson, in the 1980s and through 1991, he and other pilots had repeatedly on behalf of Tyson Foods transported white envelopes to Little Rock for ultimate delivery to Governor William Clinton. The envelopes were left at a desk at the airport or with a person driving an Arkansas State Police vehicle. By holding the envelopes to the light, Henrickson had seen the denomination of $100 through the envelope."

Too bad the IRS couldn't see fit to look into Tax Evasion charges before the Statute of Limitations was up. Any of us Peons would be Street People if it had been us.

As I recall, the payoffs to Governor Clinton were for the purpose of the state overlooking the pollution of ground water caused by waste from Tyson operations.

If I were a cynic I would be tempted to generalize that Democrats (and others) pass laws making it impossible for businesses to make a profit, and then accept bribes to overlook the violation of those laws.

But if I put my irrational suspicions aside, the truth is certainly something as simple as the CEO of Tyson was just paying Clinton to stay away from his wife (or mistresses).
