WALTON, JOHN T
BENTONVILLE, AR 72712

DSCC NON-FEDERAL BUILDING FUND
09/23/2002  50000.00  22020701463

Really hard for a sitting member of the Democratic Senate to be sitting on stage badmouthing Walmart when one of the founders gave the DSCC $50K. I'm sure Joe will be able to stand up and show the letter he wrote saying that it shouldn't have been taken. I mean he only had the last 4 years to consider it.

Patty Murray of Washington was head of the DSCC when Wal-Mart sent in the $50K.  The DSCC, I assume, cashed the check and spent the money.  The standard that is being set for Lieberman is one that cannot be met by any Democrat in the Senate.  I guess now that this is an issue, Schumer and every other Democrat who has ever received a contribution from Wal-Mart will be happy to return the funds, including any compensation Hillary Clinton received while she served on Wal-Mart's Board of Directors.
