Bush-Cheney Finance Director and the Ashcroft Campaign Probe
Checkout the Washington Post story on the call by Public Citizen and other public interest groups for a special counsel to investigate Ashcroft's 2000 Senate campaign. It gets more complicated -- Bush-Cheney's deputy finance director is implicated in the scandal.
Another aspect of the case is the role of Jack Oliver, now deputy finance chairman of the Bush-Cheney '04 reelection committee. Oliver, who was executive director of Ashcroft's PAC, was deposed by FEC investigators last February because his signature appears with Ashcroft's on a controversial work product agreement under which ownership of the mailing list was transferred to the then-senator, according to documents released in December by the FEC.
