Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is being investigated by the state legislature after a New York Times article uncovered instances where he gave favorable treatments to companies that support his political efforts.
In one instance, it took just $20,000 in donations and an invitation to a beach-side speaking gig for Koster to favorably wrap up settlement negotiations on an unlawful marketing case.
That same year, Koster dropped an investigation into another company that made campaign contributions.
Rumors have it that Koster has the Governor’s office on his Christmas wish list. These types of insider deals should complicate that bid. On the otherhand – Hillary might be drawn to someone who shares her penchant for influence peddling.
