(15,438 posts)1. And the GOP has asked the failed anti-virus founder and fugitive for murder, John McAfee to
act as an "expert".
The House committee responsible for Obamacare oversight asked for expert guidance last week about the troubled launch of the federal Healthcare.gov site from John McAfee, the tech legend once suspected in the murder of his neighbor in Central America, CNBC has learned.
That Republican-controlled committee wanted the McAfee Associates founder to "guide our oversight and review of" the implementation of the federal marketplace selling Obamacare insurance, according to an email obtained by CNBC.com.
<snip>
McAfee made $100 million from the 2004 sale of his former company, which still sells the widely used McAfee antivirus software. He later began investing in the housing market and lost much of his fortune in the 2008 housing crash.
Last year, he made international headlines when he went on the lam in Central America after Greg Faull, his neighbor in Belize, was found dead from a bullet in his head sometime after confronting McAfee about his barking dogs. McAfee later was detained in Guatemala, and eventually deported to the U.S. without being charged in the murder, which he denies committing.

Thanks to Rachel Maddow for bringing this to our attention in the Tuesday, October 22, 2013 broadcast of her cable show.

So this is the best the GOP can do?? Then again, McAfee is a Republican. It might explain why he's such a nut job.
