Ashcroft, Ashcroft Group, and AT&T connection.


Earlier this week, John Ashcroft wrote to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and urged him to grant immunity for telecom companies that cooperate with the government's spying program. It is "a necessary policy for promoting the national security interests of the United States," he wrote. But as OpenLeft points out, AT&T employs the Ashcroft Group as lobbyists.

To bad Ashcroft didn't back his Club buddy Larry Craig. The good old boys club all party together and now we know what kind of parties they are. I Lott is a surprise but then again who knows only Flynt knows the real deal.
Now Ashcroft has to earn his money by his contacts.
