Jerry Corsi, the guy who gave us the Swift Boats for Truth, has a new investigative target: Harriett Miers. In a devastating expose on Worldnetdaily.com, Corsi takes Miers apart for her part in a $30 million investment scam for which Miers' Dallas lawfirm had to pay a $22 million fine. The case of Austin Forex International, a currency trading company set up by former University of Texas football star Russell Allen Erxleben, is detailed in Corsi's piece here:

Since meeting Erxleben on a golf course in August 1996, Mel Daniels, 66, and his wife, Elaine, have more than doubled their investment.
"I've never had a loss [with Austin Forex]," Daniels says.
"Word is spreading from Austin Forex's small core of clients, and people are cashing in life insurance policies and college savings accounts to increase their initial investments. Austin Forex requires a minimum investment of $20,000.
"Daniels, a retired college music teacher, has brought Erxleben 10 additional clients, most of them extended family members. Dennis Hopkins, who is the band director at University of Mary Hardin Baylor, was impressed enough with the return on his initial Austin Forex investment to risk his daughter's college tuition fund."
