Lanny Davis lobbying in support of Honduran coup
The slimeball is back.

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/hondurans-lobby-on-coup-2009-07-09.html

"Honduran business leaders are turning to Washington lobbyists to convince Congress that it should support rather than oppose the military removal of President Manuel Zelaya from office.

The Honduran branch of CEAL, the Latin American equivalent of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has hired Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe to make the case to U.S. lawmakers and foreign diplomats.

And leading the lobbying effort for the firm is partner Lanny Davis, the former special counsel to President Bill Clinton and well-known supporter of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton when she ran for president in 2008. (Davis is also a contributor to The Hill’s Pundits Blog.)

The lobbying blitz began Monday, one day before Zelaya met with Clinton as part of his push to be reinstated. President Obama has questioned the country’s military removing a democratically elected president, an action some are calling a “coup d’etat.”"
