In other words, he offered his services to one side and then to the direct competition. The competition bit. This is a very common business practice. Consultants do it, Ad sellers do it, PR, other lawyers, software companies, even some broadcasters, journalists, and editors may have done it. Ashcroft may be a skunk but this can't be why. “Now the Wall Street Journal reports that Ashcroft first offered his services to XM.” In other words, he offered his services to one side and then to the direct competition.

The National Association of Broadcasters has enough cash to spread around DC to get anything done. The deal will be killed because of dishonest politicians. Is anyone really surprised that Ashcroft would pull such a stunt? So much for being moral, religious God-fearing man. More proof that our political system is corrupt.
