Early this year he allegedly threatened to blackball the impoverished Oklahoma tribes with the Clinton Administration if they didn't hire him to help try to reclaim some 7,500 acres of land that was under the control of the Agriculture Department. Tribal representatives met with Landow after ponying up $107,000 to the Democrats in 1996 for a chance to make their plea to Clinton, but they saw no action on their land. Landow wanted...
