Whistleblower Documents McCain Abuse of Power

Jonathan Schwarz:
Whistleblower Documents McCain Abuse of Power
Matt Stoller:

A whistleblower is coming forth against John and Cindy McCain, and the picture he is painting is not a pretty one. You’ve probably heard about Cindy McCain stealing prescription drugs from her charity in the 1990s. Today, Tom Gosinski, her former employee and a close friend of the McCain’s, came out on the record about the entire sordid episode. And it appears that McCain used his Senate staff and resources to cover up Cindy’s drug use, and potentially to prevent the Drug Enforcement Agency from investigating his wife’s theft of illegal prescription drugs. John McCain certainly used his political connections to begin a campaign of intimidation against Gosinski, because at the time - this was after the Keating 5 scandal - another major scandal would have derailed his career. Gosinski stayed quiet out of fear until today; a recent fight with cancer has strengthened his resolve. As he told me today, if he can beat cancer, he can go on the record regarding how the McCain’s do business.

Raw Story has more.

John Avarosis looks at the way a Washington Post interview with Gosinski somehow disappeared.

1. I wish this Gosinski would get on with it. This story has been out
for awhile now, but doesn't seem to get the play it should.

2. I believe it all but - -
The Republican Party/McCain campaign will just say "He was protecting his beloved wife" Just like what Palin did to her brother-in-law was understandable because she loves her sister.
