So now we hear that Feinstein may be in a tight pickle. Her family has profited from defence construction contracts while she has been on the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. In WND today they write:
"Feinstein,
chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee, regularly reviewed and
accepted contracts from her husband's companies for not only
construction work for military bases, but also addressing "quality of
life" issues for the veterans of the United States military services."
These two companies they had dealings with were not even very profitable until after she became chair for the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.
"The
report also showed URS' military construction work in 2000 was only $24
million, but the next year, when Feinstein took over as MILCON chair,
military construction earned URS $185 million. Additionally, its
military construction architectural and engineering revenue rose from
$108,000 in 2000 to $142 million in 2001, a thousand-fold increase."
So every wants to burn the President and the Republicans but does not want to condemn the actions of liberals. I hope she quits her job because of this, but that won't happen we will hear some sort of spin about how she did not know it was a conflict of interest.
It is not that I only read WND, it is just that it is the best news source. Check out the story at Feinstein quits committee under war-profiteer cloud
