"This long pre-dated his entry into politics, and pre-dated even the birth of the climate change business." His entry into politics, okay, but he may be a 'third generation' grifter/grafter [ht. Holmes] This pushes the same questions back in time and onto prior Manchin crime family members err I mean "ancestors" and may result in a cleanness of origin that was later dirtied up. More we don't know. cheers.

It appears you believe that all business people regardless of their origin are somehow grifters, grafters and criminal in nature. Calling individuals whom you don't know or are broad brushing them as criminal is a form of know nothingness that leads to mobs and "off its their heads" types of societal revolutions. Most these revolutions sputter out and societies return to their natural stasis.

The vaulted Kennedy's fortune was acquired by nefarious means and was laundered over the years. A Nazi sympathizer Joe Kennedy was removed from his ambassadorship to G.B. Yet this is almost never referred to by the Democrats who castigate everyone else. Nancy Pelosi herself is a product of a Mafia connected family and her husband has made loads of money with government contracts steered to him by -- guess who.

agreed, if you - Stevenlaudig - insist on such a thorough “cleaness of origin”then do the same with all the rest of the DC grifters, starting with Nancy Pelosi, Bidens, Clintons, Obamas and the list goes on and on. Otherwise you sound like a very tiring rancorous person with a hidden agenda

He can't. His suspicious and socialist nature keeps him awake at night imagining conspiracies by capitalists.
