For years, evil-looking septuagenarian Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) voted for appropriations worth billions to her pet man Richard Blum's firms while she was chair of the Senate Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.
From 1997 through 2005, Blum was a majority owner of both URS Corp. and Perini Corp.
Perini vice-chairman Michael R. Klein is a legal adviser to Feinstein and a long-time business partner of Blum's.
Klein was a partner in Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, a fat-cat law firm associated with the corrupt Democratic Party, for nearly 30 years.
Klein and Blum co-own ASTAR Air Cargo, which has military contracts in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay. Klein also sits on the board of SRA International, a large defense contractor.
Klein has admitted that, beginning in 1997, he routinely informed Feinstein about specific federal projects coming before her in which Perini had a stake.
Feinstein acted on legislation that affected both Perini and URS.
In 2005, Roll Call calculated Feinstein's wealth, including Blum's assets, at $40 million, up 25 percent from the year before.
That made her the ninth wealthiest member of Congress. Feinstein's Public Financial Disclosure Report shows that in 2005, her family earned between $500,000 and $5 million from capital gains on URS and Perini stock combined.
The report allows for disclosure of dollar amounts within ranges, which accounts for the wide variance.
