My, my. What a coincidence.
On June 9, 2008, Florida Congressman Tim Mahoney received a campaign contribution from AT&T’s federal political action committee.
On June 20, 2008, Tim Mahoney voted for the FISA Amendments Act, a bill that gives AT&T retroactive immunity for breaking the law by violating its customers’ privacy.
On June 27, 2008, Tim Mahoney received another two campaign contributions from AT&T’s federal political action committee.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Politics as usual.
The government breaks the law, the government covers their crime. Can anything be more blatant?
When will it change?
