He was previously undersecretary for international trade in the Commerce Department under Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush; deputy manager for the elder Bush's 1992 re-election campaign; and deputy director for his transition team in 1989."

Maybe not. His future earning capacity will be reduced to about 40 cents an hour in prison.
