Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is pushing $25 million in earmarked federal funds for a British defense contractor that is under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and suspected by American diplomats of a "longstanding, widespread pattern of bribery allegations."

McConnell has taken at least $53,000 in campaign donations from BAE's political action committees and employees since his 2002 re-election.

At least that bribes is legal. Give them a contract so they can turn around and give part of it to the reelection fund. Sounds like a kickback to me.
