Dan Lasater is a convicted cocaine distributor[citation needed] and a friend of Bill Clinton[1]. Mark Gorton names him as a member of the The Clinton/Dixie Mafia.[2]
Career
In 1984, Dan Lasater bought a ski resort in New Mexico for $20 million and uses Clinton's name (with permission) to promote it. Later, a US Customs investigative report will note that the resort is being used for drug operations and money laundering.[1]
Lasater stated "Roger came to me and said that he owed a drug dealer $8,000, and that the drug dealer had threatened him, his mother and his brother [Governor Clinton] if they didn't pay and wanted to know if I would loan him the money, and I did."[3]
In 1990, Lasater was pardoned by Governor Clinton after serving just six months in jail.[1]
In 1994, Gandy Baugh, an attorney who had represented Clinton buddy and drug distributor Dan Lasater, allegedly jumps to his death. Baugh's law partner commits suicide one month later.[1]
