Which US Senators were involved with lobbyists who took Boeing's $40 Billion contract & gave to France Airbus?
France's Airbus defeated Boeing for a US$40 billion (GB£20.1 billion) contract to supply the United States Air Force (USAF) with 179 new aerial refueling tankers at a rate of 15 a year. With maintenance, this contract is worth up to $100 Billion. Washington state suffered layoffs of over 120 people when Boeing lost out. According to Dick Morris' book "Fleeced" over 140 countries guard their interests in Washington DC with lobbyists, lawyers, and disloyal US Congress persons who think it is OK for US warplanes to be made by foreigners of questionable security and dubious integrity.

As I recall, a few lobbyists from Boeing went to jail over this. The Airbus bid was much better for the taxpayers. This came out during the election because McCain was one of the Senators involved in rewarding the contract to Airbus.
