Richard Mellon Scaife was his name.

He made billions making bombs for Vietnam..........gov't contracts and a big contributor to Nixon ( probably all the GOP ). He was born into money and he made lots more.

I have always thought he hated CLinton so badly cause Hillary was one of the attorneys in the group that helped nail Nixon.

Scaife is an evil guy.

Someone also gave Paula Jones a ton of money. She was seen in LA driving around in a Mercedes after having a nose job and expensive clothes. etc. She and her husband weren't working...............someone was paying her attorneys.............did you ever see a Arkansas secretary that could afford a team of attorneys?

I always thought that she was the stooge used to trap Clinton. The only part of his life that they could attack was the womanizing...............they needed legal precedent to explores that part of his life and a stooge that would charge him with harassment was the legal means to that discovery avenue.

An attorney might find that incorrect, it's just my opinion.

Richard Mellon Scaife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Richard Mellon Scaife (born July 3, 1932, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), a U.S. billionaire and owner–publisher of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He owns 7.2% of NewsMax Media. With $1.2 billion, Scaife, a principal heir to the Mellon banking, oil, and aluminum fortune, is No. 283 on the 2005 Forbes 400.

Scaife is particularly well known for his generous support of conservative public policy organizations over the past two decades. His generous support of the Heritage Foundation has been an important factor in Heritage's development of one of the most influential public policy research institutes in the United States. He also has supported other conservative organizations that have supported various conservative policy themes.

Scaife also helped fund the Arkansas Project which led to the impeachment of then-President Bill Clinton. He provides financial support for conservative and libertarian causes in the U.S., mostly through the private, nonprofit foundations he controls: the Sarah Scaife Foundation, Carthage Foundation, and Allegheny Foundation, and until 2001 the Scaife Family Foundation, now controlled by his daughter Jennie and son David [1] [2].
