Only one day after the Cerberus Capital Management company donated $110,000.00 to Representative Jerry Lewis, he voted for a Navy project that was badly needed by that firm. Now, some of you will say this is coincidence, but the clincher is that Cerberus had never donated money to Lewis before. What is even more damning, is Lewis criticism of the project in 2002, before he voted for it.
If it walks like a bribe and quacks like a bribe, its a bribe.
Lewis himself had criticized the Navy-Marine computer project in October 2002, telling The Washington Post he was not satisfied with its progress. He also said he was concerned about MCI's involvement. "When you have a big piece of the pie in trouble, it just gums up a process that already has great difficulty," he said.
