Chris Hayes: Youngkin is former CEO of the CARLYLE GROUP !

[Grasswire2]

The Bush-associated investment group that profited madly from war on Iraq.

Some bin Laden family members and George H.W. were actually at a Carlyle Group meeting in Washington on September 11, the day of the attack.

1. Massive wealth accumulation for a privileged few won't organize itself.

[Grasswire2]

2. During the W. war years, I asked the #1 White House Correspondent...

...why he didn't report on the conflict of interest between the Bush family making money off the Carlyle group by engaging in war profiteering.

Here's what he said to me.

"I have never heard of the Carlyle Group."

3. Good grief

DU was all over it at the time.

[mzmolly]

4. Yep.

[Lars39]

5. Hi there, mzmolly!

Hadn’t seen you in a while!

[mzmolly]

17. Hi Lars39!

I am not present as often as I used to be, but do lurk from time to time. Nice to 'see' you.

[Lars39]

18. I've been in lurk mode,too, a bit.

[mzmolly]

19. Us old timers

are smart to lurk, at times.

[Lars39]

20. Oh, yeah.

Easier on our blood pressure

[mzmolly]

21. True

true!

[shanti]

6. We were also all over

black box voting, and we saw what happened there. Not a damn thing.

[Lars39]

7. Yep

Except more cynicism, at least on my part.

[Grasswire2]

8. yes

So, clearly he was lying to me.

[Lars39]

9. I hope he's come to regret his "ignorance"

[Dave says]

11. We've all come to regret his ignorance

Millions of us.

[Lars39]

14. Definitely

[Mr.Bill]

10. Using this website as my only source,

I could pass myself off as a pretty well informed investigative journalist. I dare say if I was younger I might give it a shot.

[Lars39]

13. Maybe some youngin' will take that idea

and do it!

[calimary]

15. I remember seeing his by-line when I was at the AP in LA.

Sigh…

Good grief there was a lot about the Carlyle Group. Where scoundrels go to hide and burnish their business resumes (and bank accounts).

[IronLionZion]

16. If someone's paycheck depends on them not having heard of it

they will just hold their hears and go la la la la la.

The press profits tremendously from war. That's how many of their careers and awards are made.

[stillcool]

12. that's kind of odd...

the internets aren't what they used to be, but I can't find any info on his family...other than his father played basketball for Duke. Weird that he just showed up at the Carlyle Group 25 years ago.

22. We *do* remember Carlyle's RUBENSTEIN was a Jimmy CARTER staffer?

A real nest of vipers in President CARTER's shop - Tweety, Pat CADDELL ...
