Secretary Snow had $100M retainer on UAE deal?

[Earth_First]

This was mentioned this on Ed Schultz this afternoon. Can anyone confirm this guest affirmation?

I know that Snow was big with CSX.

This is also important, because Snow is siding with * that they both had no prior knowledge of the UAW deal until the process had been 'vetted' behind closed doors.

Anyone? Inquiring minds want to know!

1. Naw...he just wants to make the world right again...

He didn't know about this deal until this week? BULLSHIT!

4. um, the deal was made in January

of 2006, you're citing a speech from 2003. that ain't good evidence.


I'm just saying.

2. something like 70 million he got from the brits when CSX sold

out to them, and another 32 million deferred retirement money, UNLESS the brits sold it, which they have


so he gets over a HUNDRED MILLION total out of this!

Sam Seder covered the above details earlier on his show tonight

also, Rachel Maddow said Rumsfeld is on the board of of whatever that thing is, and claimed NOT to know anything about the sale! inquiring minds want to know whether he was present for the vote, and, if not, why not.

lots needs to be said about this group, which has invalidated ONE out of 1500 deals to foreign owned entities

ONE, according to Lou Dobbs tonight

5. Wow! This is spreading faster than Abramhoff's Disease!

6. Certainly gives Sirota's theory some credence n/t

7. If he is called to testify

Do you think the Republicans will let him skip being placed under oath? I would not count on it this time.

8. if no one new about it where did it come from

this just gets more stinky every day
100 million dollars is a good reason to try to slip it through

9. don't forget that Snow was a Carlyle Group employee, they owned CSX

at the time.
