Of course he was.

Anybody leaping to conclude otherwise is a fricking idiot.

Sometimes I think it’s worth it to say the obvious.

Very, very sad.

RIP

Who knows why he killed himself. Might of had nothing to do with the rally.

Suicide is heartbreaking to sane people. RIP and prayers for his family and friends.

This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation. Howard S. Liebengood (born 1943 died 2005) had a career spanning law, the military, as U.S. Senate sergeant-at-arms, tobacco industry lobbyist, running his own lobbying firm and chief of staff for two Republican senators. Between 1981 and 1983 Liebengood was U.S. Senate sergeant-at-arms before becoming the executive vice president for federal relations chief of the Tobacco Institute; he was Executive Vice President for Federal Relations at the Tobacco Institute. The following year, he formed the lobbying firm, Gold & Liebengood with Martin B Gold. Both Gold and Leibengood had served as Capitol Hill staffers. In 1989 the company was bought out by Burson-Marsteller and Liebengood stayed with it for several years.

Gold and Liebengood]] was a Washington DC lobbyfirm founded by two Senate aides, Howard S Liebengood and Martin B Gold. It was later purchased by Burson Marsteller and at a still later date it was a merged into Paul Manafort's Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly to form BKSH & Associates Howard Liebengood had been head of Government lobbying for the Tobacco Institute, and they maintained the account when the company was established. They also worked for Philip Morris - both before the acquisition by Burson Marsteller, and after. A 1993 internal budget review document for the Philip Morris group of companies had Gold & Liebengold with a preliminary budget allocation of $406,000. Describing the project, the document states, "Howard Liebengold is one of the best Republican lobbyists in town. His partner, Marty Gold, is an expert parliamentarian. He is subcontracting and "FOB", Paul Berry, at our request. The firm has good depth in the health care area."
