"McAuliffe Hired As Global Crossing 'Consultant' (wink wink nudge nudge)"

"In 1997, Winnick hired Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's chief fundraiser, as a consultant. According to the New York Times, the $100,000 he paid McAuliffe turned into an $18 million windfall as McAuliffe's contacts helped Global Crossing's stock climb. In 1999, McAullife set up a golf gave between Clinton and Winnick, which ended with Winnick pledging $1 million for Clinton's presidential library."

I'm not a big fan of using "Mother Jones" as a referenced source, but I do believe it's pertinent that the $100,000 McAuliffe allegedly invested wasn't even his own but was a payoff by Global Crossing and Winnick!!

FReegards...MUD

I'm embarrassed to use Mother Jones and The Nation as sources also but those two have been after corporations for decades and know their stuff. They are in the strange position of having to report now on Democrats using corps in a major way. This hit the wires tonight:
