Sen. John McCain's top foreign policy adviser prepped his boss for an April 17 phone call with the president of Georgia and then helped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee prepare a strong statement of support for the fledgling republic.
The day of the call, a lobbying firm partly owned by the adviser, Randy Scheunemann, signed a $200,000 contract to continue providing strategic advice to the Georgian government in Washington.
This came up in a blog post during lobbyist week. Right and wrong in Georgia aside, how is McCain supposed to come up with a credible foreign policy if it's written by people who are STILL being paid to lobby for places like Georgia?
