The FBI investigated James Bath & Bush!
Edited on Thu Jul-01-04 09:05 PM by ALago1
Just doing some random Google searches turned up this 1992 article from the Houston chronicle:

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/1990s/houstonchronicle060492.html

"Federal authorities are investigating the activities of a Houston businessman -- a past investor in companies controlled by a son of President Bush -- who has been accused of illegally representing Saudi interests in the United States.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network -- known as FinCEN -- and the FBI are reviewing accusations that entrepreneur James R. Bath guided money to Houston from Saudi investors who wanted to influence U.S. policy under the Reagan and Bush administrations, sources close to the investigations say. FinCEN, a division of the U.S. Department of Treasury, investigates money laundering. Special agents and analysts from various law enforcement agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Customs Service, are assigned to work with the FinCEN staff.

"The federal review stems in part from court documents obtained through litigation by Bill White, a former real estate business associate of Bath. White contends the documents indicate that the Saudis were using Bath and their huge financial resources to influence U.S. policy.

Moore should have mentioned that the Feds were on to them (or at least appeared to be) in his film. Anyone else ever heard of this?

3. To repukes who dismiss the Bush/Bin Laden Connection in F9/11
there are so many articles on google and in public records about this that you can't ignore them. Always corroborate sources.

7. Old DU 1 had posts and threads about this. We were all into this way
back. Lot's of unsavory connections with Bath turned up. The fact that reporters don't mention his name, says alot. Or maybe not, given the quality of do nothing "sit on your butt" reporters we have today.

If someone want's to do a search on it, there's plenty there in DU archives.

Keven Philips says in his book about the Bush Dynasty that there alot of reporting that needs to be done about the Bush's and he laid out what he had. Although he says lots of people are dead if you want to go back to Poppy's rise. Bath is current enough.
