Uh, this is quite possibly illegal:
“He didn’t get the contract,” [Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alfonso] Jackson continued. “Why should I reward someone who doesn’t like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president? Logic says they don’t get the contract. That’s the way I believe.”Why would he use the money to campaign against the president? Unless, the HUD secretary thinks that's why he's giving out federal contracts, so that recipients can use the money for election purposes. Is that why HUD only gives grants to Bush supporters, so they can "campaign for the president"? Just how much federal money has the HUD secretary given out to help support the Bush campaign?
