As Though The Republicans Needed Another Lobbying ScandalPosted on Jan 16, 2006
Newsweek: Ohio Rep. Robert Ney personally lobbied the then Secretary of State Colin Powell to relax U.S. sanctions on Iran. Who asked him to? A convicted airplane broker who had just taken the congressman and a top aide on an expense-paid trip to London, NEWSWEEK has learned. Ney’s lawyer confirmed to NEWSWEEK that federal prosecutors have subpoenaed records on Ney’s February 2003 trip paid for by Nigel Winfield, a thrice-convicted felon who ran a company in Cyprus called FN Aviation.

my, my, my. A thief in the hen house. Even trying to work with what Bush calls a member of he axis of evil. Who would have thought that during 5 years, the GOP went from conservative to criminal in five easy steps.
Now we see why they preached for smaller government - so there would be fewer authorities able to prosecute them.
