grandfather of G. W. Bush was involved. What a family of crooks and liars. Prescott was also a Nazi sympathizer and got rich off of petroleum deals with the Germans. And let us not forget that G. W. H. Bush was in the CIA and a key figure in training Cuban exiles in Miami to help the US invade Cuba. He also just happened to be somewhere in Texas ( he does not remember where though, hah) when Kennedy was assassinated. That family is rotten to the core and has skeletons buried everywhere.
