Tit for Tat? Vicki Iseman's Y2K client list
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 10:31 PM by ProgressiveEconomist
The McCain-Iseman affair cries out for investigation of possible "betrayal of the public trust" (words in McCain's non-denial denial to Bill Keller). The Times story tonight reports that

"news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyists clients" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21mccain.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin )

But few further details are given.

Does anybody know anything about whose water McCain carried on telecommunications, Ms Iseman's specialty? The Times article mentions Paxson Communications and Glencairn Ltd.

At the link below, you can click through the names of clients to "View Report Images" and get a list of each client's lobbying expenditure for each issue of interest to them.

If you do, and if you find something interesting for 2000 or for other years back to 1996 when the huge give-away Telecommunications Act sleazed through Congress, please report back here.

MCCAIN GETS MONEY/PERKS, PRESSURES FCC
source: Boston Globe
The Boston Globe is reporting a multitude of instances where Senator John McCain has used his influence to get results from the FCC, which his Committee oversees. Please read the whole article at the link above.

Days before Senator John McCain joined hands with Senator Bill Bradley last month to decry the noxious influence of special interest campaign donors, McCain pressured the Federal Communications Commission to vote on an issue that cleared the way for a major contributor to his presidential campaign to buy a Pittsburgh television station.

McCain, in his bluntly worded Dec. 10 letter to the FCC, did not urge a vote favoring the contributor, Paxson Communications. But he acted at the request of the company's lobbyist, during a period when he used Paxson's corporate jet four times to travel to campaign events -- where he almost always attacks monied special interests.

McCain's intervention in the case drew a speedy, scolding response from William E. Kennard, the FCC chairman, who deemed the Senator's letter "highly unusual'' and suggested it was inappropriate. The Senate Commerce Committee, which McCain heads, oversees the FCC.

Angela J. Campbell, the attorney who represents opponents of the sale to Paxson, went much further, asserting in an interview yesterday that McCain's action was improper, unethical, violated FCC rules barring such contacts on pending FCC matters, and appeared designed to assist a major contributor.

"Senator McCain said, 'Do it by December 15 or explain why,' and the commission jumped to it and did it that very day. The senator's intent was for the FCC to grant the transfer of the TV license, said Campbell, a Georgetown University law professor. McCain's intercession, she added, ''may well have tipped the decision.''

A spokesman for the senator, noting that McCain often sees the FCC deliberative process as molasses-like, said there was no connection between Paxson's political support for McCain -- $20,000 in two concentrated doses from Paxson and its law firm -- and his intercession with the FCC.

But McCain's close ties to Paxson were abundantly clear on the key dates surrounding the FCC decision. The day before he sent the Dec. 10 letter, McCain used Paxson's jet for a trip from New York to Florida. The day after the letter, he took the company jet from Florida to Washington. The campaign reimbursed the company at first-class airfare rates -- well below the actual cost of the charters.

11. GREAT link--This belongs on Keith Olberman's show. According to what
the talking heads were saying tonight, McCains Y2K prez campaign aides were concerned about repeated private airplane trips on which Vicki Iseman accompanied McCain. The question arises, were some of these possible "mile high club" flights on Paxon aircraft?

Your link to the Y2k Boston Globe ( http://www.radiodiversity.com/archives/2000_01.shtml )
IMO deserves its own thread. What hypocrisy! While working on ethics with Bill Bradley, he wrote a letter to the FCC on Iseman's client Paxon's behalf.

Tomorrow, at one of his two daily press conferences, some reporter needs to ask McCain,
"You flew on Paxon Communications aircraft several times in 1999-2000. Did Vicki Iseman accompany you on ony of those flights on her client's aircraft? What did you talk about? Did you ever discuss the "highly unusual" (FCC chair Kennard) letter you wrote to the FCC on Paxon's behalf? And did you and Ms Iseman ever join the "mile high club" together?

I'd love to see the expression on McCain's face--he has a temper. Olberman had a fabulous pic of a rage-twisted McCain face on a recent show--I wish I had a link to it for re-use and sharing thousands of times.

13. Good one. But given the number of times Iseman accompanied McCain on
private jet flights on her clients' aircraft, a better nickname might be John "Mile High Club" McCain.

14. More stuff
I posted this on Orlean's thread and am putting it here as well. One company not mentioned is Univision and McCain's friendship with their CEO. Apparently Iseman lobbied for them as well. I'm including a link to a photo of her (that can't be copied) and she's captioned as a lobbyist for Univision. That's another dark hole that leads to immigration reform deals and who knows what else.

Ms. Iseman also lobbied for Univision.
http://www.jamd.com/search?text=vicki%20iseman&partner=...

After John McCain's campaign manager Terry Nelson, chief strategist John Weaver, and chief of staff Mark Salter all deserted him today, McCain brought in veteran Republican lobbyist Rick Davis as his new manager.

Meet Rick Davis.

Rick Davis was founder and managing partner of the very partisan Davis, Manafort & Freedman, Inc., a lobbying firm based in Arlington, Virginia. Some of the firm's notable clients include:

Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha: The firm was hired by the Nigerians in March 1998, at a time when the country's dictator, General Sani Abacha, was engaged in an aggressive public relations campaign to persuade Americans that he was the leader of a progressive emerging democracy. Human rights groups described General Abacha as a ruthless and corrupt dictator.

Companies that moved jobs offshore: The firm also lobbied Congress for favorable treatment for Fruit of the Loom in a trade bill that was expected to deliver a quick $25 million to $50 million to the company's bottom line. The company had recently saved additional money by moving about 17,000 of its American jobs offshore, mostly to the Caribbean Basin, and reincorporating in the tax haven Cayman Islands.

Companies with business before McCain's committee: Two of the companies represented by Davis' firm, COMSAT and SBC, had major (and controversial) mergers pending before the Federal Communications Commission in 1999, and both mergers were approved. That same year, Davis was working both for McCain and for the lobbying firm representing the two companies seeking permission from the FCC to merge. McCain refused to recuse himself from the proceedings, despite his connections with the involved parties.

Davis also played a central role in the McCain Reform Institute Scandal. McCain founded The Reform Institute to push for clean campaigns and elections nationwide, but then used the 501(c)3 to draw large donations from industries seeking legislative favors. He also used the Institute to pay political advisors like Davis, who earned $110,000 a year from the Institute.

Many of the Reform Institute donors were also communications industry players with business before the Commerce Committee--when Sen. McCain was its chairman.

Echosphere, a communications company started by Charles Ergen, a founder of EchoStar Communications and the DISH Network, gave $50,000 or more to the institute. So did CSC Holdings, a subsidiary of the Cablevisions Systems Corporation, headed by Charles F. Dolan, and the Chartwell Foundation, the charitable group funded by A. Jerrold Perenchio, the Univision billionaire.

In fact, Cablevision's money accounted for 15 percent of the Institute's fund-raising in 2003.


http://www.democrats.org/a/2007/07/john_mccain_aft.php

and about Univision (and this doesn't even touch on Perenchio's interest in immigration reform):

Perenchio, now a member of McCain's finance committee, funneled more than $1.4 million in soft money to Republican causes in the 1998, 2000 and 2002 election campaigns, often in amounts McCain used to criticize. For one GOP fundraising dinner in the spring of 2001, for example, he donated $250,000. Perenchio has also been a major donor to the 527 groups formed to exploit a loophole in the legislation sponsored by McCain and Feingold.

Taking their name from a little-known provision of the IRS tax code, the groups began raising large donations -- some in the millions of dollars -- and running ads and funding other activities designed to influence the 2004 presidential election. Federal election regulators have refused to rein in the groups and their donations in the past two elections.

Perenchio gave $4 million to a pro-Republican 527 group called Progress for America, which helped Bush in the 2004 campaign. In the 2006 congressional races, Perenchio gave $5 million more to the same group.

In the summer of 2005, McCain's allies in the reform movement went to court seeking to force the Federal Election Commission to regulate the 527 groups and make them abide by the same donation limits as other political committees.

In a friend-of-the-court brief, McCain and Feingold specifically cited Progress for America as an example of what was wrong with 527 groups. The court filing cited one of the group's pro-Bush commercials -- which starred a 16-year-old whose mother was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks -- to illustrate the impact large donations had on the election. Perenchio was not mentioned.

"The deployment of section 527 groups as the new vehicle for using soft money to conduct political activities to influence federal elections is simply the latest chapter in a long history of efforts to evade and violate the federal campaign finance laws," the McCain court filing stated. "Sadly, it is another chapter in the FEC's failure to enforce the campaign finance laws."

Perenchio declined to be interviewed. Salter said Perenchio's support of McCain "pre-dates the existence of 527s. Perenchio served on Senator McCain's fundraising committee in 2000, and the senator is pleased to have his continued support."

That support has come in a number of ways. Tax records show that Perenchio's Chartwell Foundation donated $100,000 on March 1, 2002, to the Reform Institute, a nonprofit foundation of which McCain was co-chairman and which was advocating the end of big political donations.

At the time, McCain was chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the broadcast industry, and Univision had numerous issues pending before the government. Cablevision, another broadcaster, also donated $200,000 to the McCain foundation around the same time the senator took action in Congress favorable to that company.

McCain's allies in the campaign finance reform movement seem resigned to the fact that he will not abide by many of the principles he advocated for a decade as a reformer, including public financing and its associated spending and fundraising limits.

"Certainly we are disappointed that he has decided not to take the lead in fixing the presidential-financing system he is competing in," said Mary Boyle of Common Cause, the ethics watchdog that cheered McCain's reform efforts for years. "But it is understandable he is opting out.

15. Great--you're researching McCain's ties to other lobbyists, such as his former
campaign manager Rick Davis.

This is the kind of detail that will serve the Democratic nominee well in debates with McCain. For example, McCain okays the Comsat and SBC mergers his political manager lobbied for. Then how many thousands of workers with good jobs get laid off, never to earn that much money again?

17. It's Not The Sex...It's The Quid Pro Quo
McCain headed the Commerce Committee that oversees the FCC...which has been non-stop pressure for the past 20 years to expand "deregulation"...not just allowing large companies to gobble up the public airwaves but also to protect their 'investments' by making it difficult at best for smaller companies to compete. McCain was smack dab in the middle of all of this.

AMFM = Chancellor Media (now longer in business) that was absorbed by Clear Channel...the company is run by boooosh-lickers Hicks, Tate & Muse and the Mayes family.

Capstar - Another large conglomerate that just purchased the ABC radio stations and has common membership and financial ties with Clear Channel

Paxon Communications - Headed by repugnican Bud Paxon...he was able to gobble up TV stations around the country for his Pax Network that went bust a couple years ago...in 2000, reports are Iseman worked for Paxon who was trying to buy even more properties and needed a friend inside to pull it off. Good chance he did...and now we can kinda guess who.

Total Living Network - Chicago-based religious cable broadcaster...sold their TV station to Paxon for big bucks and was looking at deregulation to flood the country with low power signals of its programming...just like TBN...but they ran short on the bucks.

Sinclair Broadcasting - Need I say much here other than the 2004 Slime Boat attack job they tried to pull on John Kerry. Big time booooshlickers.

Telemundo - Now part of GE/NBC/Universal...rival to Univision (now I've seen reports she worked for Univision and this one states she worked for Telemundo...I wouldn't be surprised if she double-dipped and worked for both.

In 2003, McCain stopped another round of dereg from going through...but this same legislation was ramroded through, WITH McCain's support, last December.

There are a lot of loose ends in this story...and I imagine purposely. The NY Times must know there's gonna be a ton of blowback on this story and hopefully have their ducks in a row should they need to present more specifics. This could be quite interesting.

Meanwhile on the right wing hate radio station...this morning's topic: Why Michelle Obama hates America.

19. Great research. Now the Obama campaign has until September to work out
the harm to voters ensuing from McCain's being in bed with telcom lobbyists.

The 1996 Telecommunications Act opened the door to the anticompetitive mergers you have so well documented for Vicki Iseman's clients. How many local unions were busted, how many thousands of telcom workers were laid off, and how many of those workers never will make as much money again?

IMO "did he or didn't he" with Vicki Iseman is a unifying theme to keep McCain's corruption in the media until the first Tuesday in November. Without the "Mile High Club" angle, IMO unfortunately this story might get treated as "old news", like McCain's Keating scandal involvement.

Isn't it odd that a sex scandal once again might help Barack Obama win? His original Illinois Senate opponent was Jeri Ryan's perverted husband, remember?

20. The Game Show Host...
Right now the name Ryan is electoral death in Illinois :rofl:

Thank-you for your kind words...that was just typing off the top of my pointed head, but I have paid close attention to this issue since the 80s.

Yes...the sex is the sizzle here...and who knows nor cares if an exchange of bodily fluids occured. But the wheeling and dealing is the sticky point here...especially when the "maverick" spoke out just the other day about the undo influence of money and lobbyists in Washington (using the current GOOP boogie-man of Earmarks).

Telcom '96 IS a disaster and under McCain's watch the required revisit in 2002 was bypassed...and the only reason he opposed the 2003 proposal was the heavy opposition at the time by the NRA (McCain sure doesn't want to piss those folks and their wallets off).

One more wrench to throw in...and that's the other elements of the Telcom world of 2000...the rapid growth of cellular and internet systems and which companies would get the precious bandwidth for their systems. The money was just too big out there...and from looking at Ms Eisman's list, she had some pretty big fish...you don't build that kind of resume without some "clout".

Cheers...

21. KT--You obviously know a lot more about telcom politics than I do and you are
a very lively writer. You have my permission to rewrite anything I've posted here and repost it in new DU threads and elsewhere. This stuff is too important to hold back sharing and reposting.

If somebody can pull all of this together in a snappy way, we could email it to Keith Olberman to get on MSNBC and keep it there.

What do you think?

24. There Are Many Media Saavy Types Here...
I've long railed against Telcom dereg here with little success of drawing flies. Yet, just have Tweety go off his meds or Rushbo on his and this place can't stop calling for change. Surface trumps substance as so much of what has happened is so far under the radar and intertwined that it's not "sexy" to discuss.

I was very disappointed in the lack of attention people paid here last December when the Kevin Martin ramroded a big gift to Murdoch, Mayes and others through...but, unless you follow it closely it's easy to ignore...and by design.

I'm very supportive of any and all who want to keep this dialogue and topic alive...and also in working to create a stronger and more effective media to counter all the spin and misinformation that oozes from TVs and Radios...

Cheers and thank you for your support. Hope we can keep a dialogue and discussion rolling here...

28. Vicki Iseman's year-by-year client lists, 2007 to 1998
For completeness, I searched the CFRP database for records on Vicki Iseman as far back as I could. Evidently, CFRP records on her go back to 1998, though her corporate bio (at http://www.alcalde-fay.com/meet_the_firm/BiosDetail.cfm?id=84 ) says she worked on both the 1996 and 1992 Telecommunications Acts. (Hmmm... If she's 40 now, she would have been in her early 20s in 1991-1992. Talk about pimping somebody out ...)

For any year and any client, you can click through the "Source" link and clients name to "View Report Images" and see the client's reprted issues that year and how much they paid the firm where Vicki made partner.
