May 24, 2007 -- Yesterday, we reported on Bracewell & Giuliani's involvement in the Washington Madam case in representing one of the principals who was a client of Pamela Martin & Associates.
Our sources in Houston have informed us that Bracewell & Giuliani's previous incarnation, Bracewell & Patterson, represented George H. W. Bush's bank, First International/InterFirst of Houston. Our Houston sources also tell us that Carol S. Vance, the Harris County District Attorney who investigated George W. Bush's cocaine bust in Houston in 1972, became a partner at Bracewell & Patterson after he opted no to indict and prosecute Bush for cocaine possession. George H. W. Bush flew from New York, where he was serving as U.S. ambassador to the UN, to Houston to ensure that the charges against his son were dropped and the incident buried.
Vance, now retired from the firm, is heavily involved in the Christian Right's proselytizing efforts in the Texas prison system. In representing First International/InterFirst Bank, Bracewell & Patterson helped shield Bush-Bin Laden business dealings and the flow of significant amounts of Saudi money into Bush family coffers from regulatory agencies and public scrutiny.
