A Real News Exclusive
Hillary ClintonâEUR^(TM)s Bush Connection* *
NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire- USNewswire/ -- The Real News
Project reports exclusively today that the engineer of George W.
BushâEUR^(TM)s rescue from financial disasterâEUR"a man who would
propel Bush on the path to elective officeâEUR"has quietly moved
into Hillary ClintonâEUR^(TM)s inner circle of key financial
backers. The engineer is longtime GOP backer Alan Quasha. His
mysterious Harken Energy drew intense scrutiny from investigators
and the media in the early 90âEUR^(TM)s and again during
BushâEUR^(TM)s first term because of its dubious financial
practices and board members connected to the corrupt Bank of
Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). Along with a business
partner, Quasha has been forging new links with Clinton and her
associates for several years. Among other things, they have raised
substantial sums for her, and in 2005 they discreetly hired
Clinton confidant and longtime Democratic Party money man Terry
McAuliffe, providing him with a lucrative temporary perch until
the Clinton campaign formally launched with McAuliffe as its
chairman.
âEURoeThat Hillary ClintonâEUR^(TM)s campaign is involved with
this particular cast of characters should give people pause,âEUR?
says John Moscow, a former Manhattan prosecutor. In the late 1980s
and early âEUR^(TM)90s, Moscow led the investigation of the BCCI
global financial empireâEUR"which included Harken board members
among its prominent shareholders. âEURoeToo many of the same names
from earlier troubling circumstances suggests a lack of control
over who she is dealing with,âEUR? says Moscow, âEURoeor a policy
of dealing with anyone who can pay.âEUR?
In the wake of revelations that Clinton accepted large sums of
money from convicted swindler Norman Hsu, her involvement with
Quasha and his associates is likely to raise new concerns over
major sources of money for her presidential bid.
