What exactly is “not direct lobbying?”
Joe Allbaugh, the Oklahoman known for his flat-top haircut and loyalty to President Bush, has a new client: Halliburton, the Houston-based company once led by Vice President Cheney.
Allbaugh, a close adviser to Bush during his Texas days, registered to lobby on behalf of Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), Halliburton’s construction and engineering subsidiary. Allbaugh’s wife and partner at the Allbaugh Company, Diane Allbaugh, is also listed on the registration, which was filed last week with the Senate Office of Public Records.
In a statement, a spokeswoman for Halliburton said Allbaugh had not been commissioned to do any direct lobbying. - the Washington Examiner
I’m beginning to think that BushCo IS Halliburton.
