Halliburton Hired Covington & Burling Lobbying Team for half a million dollars for the first six months of 2004 to help fend off the investigations by the Republican Congress and a Republican Administration pursuing the facts wherever they lead. None of these investigations have had ANYTHING to do with the Vice President as is clearly pointed out at www.FactCheck.org which is a website of the non-partisan Annenberg Center which says unequivocally that the VP did not gain financially from any contracts given to Halliburton and has role in the awarding of those contracts.

Four members of Halliburton’s lobbying team at Covington & Burling, including former Clinton Treasury official Stuart Eizenstat and David Marchick, gave thousands to Kerry’s President Campaign and raised tens of thousands more. David Marchick is Kerry Fundraising Co-Chair, Raising Over $50,000 For Kerry’s Presidential Campaign, Donating $1,000 Himself.
