Granted, this isn't nearly as evil as getting a blowjob, but it's still pretty bad.
Lobbyist admits kickbacks, influence peddling
Abramoff agrees to cooperate in corruption probe
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/...lea/index.html
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former high-powered lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion charges, agreeing to cooperate in a federal corruption probe in Washington.
Abramoff, 46, admitted that he did not disclose receiving kickbacks on payments from Native American tribes to a partner's public relations firm.
He also acknowledged that some of his money did not go to charities, as he had reported, but paid for a golf trip to Scotland.
Abramoff's plea agreement could spare him the maximum 30-year sentence if he provides valuable assistance in the corruption investigation. (Read the plea agreement -- PDF)
"Words can never express my sorrow and profound regret," Abramoff told U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle.
"Nor can they express my sadness and regret for my conduct," he added. " I ask for forgiveness and redemption from (the) Almighty."
As part of the deal, Abramoff agreed to cooperate with the IRS on his tax evasion charge and pay the agency $1.72 million. He also agreed not to dispose of assets and to pay res ution, estimated at $25 million, according to the plea agreement.
Ripple effect
Court do ents filed Tuesday describe how Abramoff and business partner Michael Scanlon cheated clients of Abramoff's lobbying firm by urging them to use Scanlon's PR firm -- which in turn paid Abramoff kickbacks. (Read a summary of the charges -- PDF)
Abramoff is a longtime associate of several top GOP leaders, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Americans for Tax Reform director Grover Norquist, and former Christian Coalition chief Ralph Reed.
Abramoff's cooperation deal could have a wide-reaching effect in Washington. (View a report on what Abramoff said and its potential impact -- 2:37)
A source close to the investigation said investigators are currently looking at about half a dozen members of Congress. Another source, a senior government official told CNN the probe involves about two dozen lawmakers and staffers.
Sources told CNN's Ed Henry that the former lobbyist may have thousands of e-mails in which he describes influence-peddling and explains what lawmakers were doing in exchange for the money he was putting into their campaign coffers.
A source close to the investigation said investigators are looking at about half a dozen members of Congress.
Sources said Abramoff has been cooperating with the Justice Department for months without any kind of plea deal. He will not be sentenced until his cooperation is complete, the source added.
Kickback scheme detailed
The court do ents allege Abramoff deprived his clients of his honest services by overcharging them to fund the alleged kickback scheme with Scanlon.
Listed in the court do ents are a four Native American tribes that contracted Abramoff's services. The do ents said the tribes gave millions of dollars to Scanlon's firm, which then paid Abramoff 50 percent of the profits it made.
According to the do ents:
Starting in 2001, Abramoff persuaded a Louisiana tribe to pay nearly $30.5 million for "grass roots work" to a Scanlon company, which, in turn, kicked back nearly $11.4 million to Abramoff.
In 2001, Abramoff also persuaded a Mississippi tribe to give nearly $14.8 million to Scanlon, who funneled nearly $6.3 to Abramoff.
A Michigan tribe gave $3.5 million to Scanlon's firm in 2002; $540,000 ended up in Abramoff's pocket.
Also in 2002, a Texas tribe gave $4.2 million to Scanlon, and nearly $1.9 million found its way to Abramoff
According to e-mail obtained by a Senate committee, Abramoff made a fortune from the tribes while privately mocking tribal leaders as "monkeys" and "morons."
Influence peddling alleged
Scanlon, a 35-year-old public relations executive and onetime aide to DeLay, pleaded guilty in November to a single conspiracy count as part of a deal with the Justice Department. He agreed to pay about $19.7 million in res ution for kickbacks he admitted receiving, and promised to testify against Abramoff.
Prosecutors allege that from 1997 to April 2004 Abramoff schemed with Scanlon and others to enrich himself through the kickbacks, raised by charging fees that "incorporated huge profit margins."
Abramoff and others allegedly "would cause clients to falsely believe that some of the fees charged were being used for specific purposes" when the money "was used for their own personal benefit," the do ent said.
Prosecutors also detailed a "stream of things of value" given to an unnamed congressman, identified in the court do ents as Representative No. 1, and members of his staff.
The items listed include a "lavish" golf trip to Scotland, tickets to sporting events and other entertainment, meals at Abramoff's "upscale" Washington restaurant, and campaign contributions to the representative and his political action committee in exchange for a series of actions by that representative.
The Justice Department would not identify the congressman. But government sources have said he is Republican Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, chairman of the House Administration Committee.
Ney denies wrongdoing
In the court do ents, prosecutors alleged Abramoff, Scanlon and others got the lawmaker "to perform a series of official acts."
According to the do ents, the acts included supporting bills, placing statements in the Congressional Record, meeting with the lobbyists' clients and supporting a client of Abramoff's in a bid to win a contract for wireless telephone service for the House of Representatives.
Ney is known to have entered comments in the Congressional Record against a man standing in the way of an Abramoff project -- a 2000 casino fleet purchase -- and he took a 2002 golf trip to Scotland that Abramoff sponsored.
"At the time I dealt with Jack Abramoff, I obviously did not know, and had no way of knowing, the self-serving and fraudulent nature of Abramoff's activities," Ney said Tuesday in a statement.
Ney's office said he has "never done anything illegal or improper and the allegations in this plea agreement do not change this fact."
The statement continued, " Whenever Congressman Ney took official action, he did so because of his understanding of the merits and facts of the situation and not because of any improper influence from Jack Abramoff or anybody else."
Ney continues to cooperate with the investigation "to separate truth from fiction," his office said.
Ney is the only member of Congress to disclose that he has been subpoenaed as part of the investigation -- a step required under House rules.
Lawyer: Florida plea expected
Abramoff's name also surfaced earlier this year amid ethics questions about DeLay, a longtime friend. The Washington Post has reported DeLay took two expensive overseas trips that Abramoff and other lobbyists bankrolled -- a violation of House rules, if true.
DeLay has denied wrongdoing, calling the report "just another seedy attempt by the liberal media to embarrass me."
DeLay, who himself is facing money laundering charges, was forced to step down from his leadership position in September after he was indicted on conspiracy charges that were later dropped.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Tuesday the acts that Abramoff has reportedly acknowledged are "unacceptable and outrageous."
McClellan added, "If laws were broken then he must be held to account and punished for what he did."
Abramoff will also plead guilty Wednesday to charges in Florida, said Neal Sonnett, his Miami attorney. Those charges stem from Abramoff's role in the 2000 purchase of SunCruz Casinos, a fleet of offshore gambling boats.
In the Florida case, Abramoff and a partner, Adam Kidan, are accused of falsifying a $23 million wire transfer to obtain $60 million in financing. Kidan pleaded guilty last month.
CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, Kelli Arena, Ed Henry, Kevin Bohn, Paul Courson and Rich Phillips contributed to this report.
"on conspiracy charges that were later dropped."
and on money laundering charges, that are not dropped.

Harry Reid Caught in Abramoff Plea Deal?
Jack Abramoff Pleads Guilty to Fraud
This morning's announcement that Washington super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff has reached a plea bargain deal with the Justice Department has reporters salivating over what they hint is going to be a Republican mega-scandal.
But it turns out that the most prominent player in Abramoff's web of influence was reportedly none other than the Senate's top Democrat, Harry Reid.
In a little-noticed story in November, The Associated Press revealed that Reid had accepted tens of thousands of dollars from an Abramoff client, the Coushatta Indian tribe, after interceding with Secretary of the Interior Gail Norton over a casino dispute with a rival tribe.
Reid "sent a letter to Norton on March 5, 2002," reported the AP. "The next day, the Coushattas issued a $5,000 check to Reid's tax-exempt political group, the Searchlight Leadership Fund. A second tribe represented by Abramoff sent an additional $5,000 to Reid's group. Reid ultimately received more than $66,000 in Abramoff-related donations between 2001 and 2004."
Questioned about the donations last month by "Fox News Sunday's" Chris Wallace, Reid immediately turned testy.
"Don't try to say I received money from Abramoff. I've never met the man, don't know anything," he insisted.
When Wallace protested: "But you've received money from [one of his Indian tribe clients]," the top Democrat shot back: "Make sure that all your viewers understand - not a penny from Abramoff. I've been on the Indian Affairs Committee my whole time in the Senate."
When the Fox host pressed again on the Abramoff-linked donations, a flustered-sounding Reid continued to stonewall, saying: "I'll repeat, Abramoff gave me no money. His firm gave me no money. He may have worked [at] a firm where people have given me money. But I have – I feel totally at ease that I haven't done anything that is even close to being wrong."
================================================== =============
Ah, what a tangled web we weave, we first we deceive.........Careful what you wish
for cause it just might come back to bite you in the rear. Like most of the stuff
the dimm-o-craps come up with. This is going to be an interesting New Year, isn't
it....
Xray, you crazy old bas .
The only part of the statement above that is correct is "old". The other
adjective and noun fit you to a tee.
full of piss and vinegar
I hate those Bush bas s!!!
Yeah, but out of beer, dead-gum-it!
Isn't Xray one of the last anic survivors?
Xray is from the old school.
So far back that I can remember when they really did have Democrats
instead of a bunch of radicals who call themselves dimm-o-craps. LBJ
was the beginning of end for the Democrats. Him and his bread and
guns crap. He was so damned crooked they had to screw him into the
ground when he died.
Back when you could go to dinner and a movie with a nickel in your pocket and still get change back.
Well not that far back, but I could go to a movie for 9 cents when I was
a kid and get popcorn for a nickle. Heck the big deal in my youth was
getting old enough to go to the midnight movie on Saturday night, you
got to see what was on that week and what was coming the next week,
all for the price of one ticket. Now, I know that doesn't sound like much
now, but that was a big deal in my day. Like cold watermelon and cantaloupe
with a scoop of ice cream in the cantaloupe.
So what about the charges against the Republicans, X?
LEt there be charges against the republicans. It's not like the american people are dumb enough to give power back to the democrats.
Oh, back to the original thought. This thing is going to be a black eye on
all of Congress. Republicans and Dimm-o-craps alike. It is going to be
really, really interesting to see how many try to get a lid on everything,
cause there are so many of the Congress involved. They, even those
not directly involved, don't like what the American public has known for
years, but just didn't want to hear the truth. See my little signature on
my post. It is very, very true. Everyone in Washington knows/knew what
was going on. But pols really practice that little saying: scratch my back
and I'll scratch yours. Like old shaky Bird said about the Senator from
Alaska, man I love you, but I just have to uphold the Cons ution, yeah,
you believe that I have a bridge in Laredo I would like to sell you.
they won't have a choice once every repug is in prison
um, yeah you got 1 year left to put all republicans in prison before the midterms, not counting the new incoming republicans coming in.
Also, if you only think republicans commit white collar crimes, then you're clueless and are chasing petty dreams.
Me thinks you're not as bipartisan-moderate as you try to picture yourself. You're just another partisan tool.
link
The airwaves are full of the obedient and the credulous this morning trying to tar the Democrats with Jack Abramoff's filthy lucre, so let's set the record straight for those too busy sucking down hairspray fumes to pay full attention. As Media Matters noted when the NYT's Anne Kornblut pimped this crap on Hardball:
Appearing on the December 16 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Kornblut falsely claimed that Abramoff had given contributions to Democrats. Yet a Media Matters for America search of the Center for Responsive Politics database of campaign contributions did not find any contributions from Abramoff to Democrats or Democratic leadership political action committees.
Although Kornblut amended her statement to claim that Abramoff "had his clients donate to Democrats," her comment falsely suggests that Republicans and Democrats are equally enmeshed in the scandal surrounding Abramoff. In fact, while Democrats have received contributions from Abramoff's lobbying groups and his clients, Kornblut's statement ignores the difference between accepting contributions from groups linked to Abramoff, which is legal and proper, and taking contributions in exchange for official actions, which is illegal, and which is at the heart of the ongoing investigations.
Bloomberg:
Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff gave more than $127,000 to Republican candidates and committees and nothing to Democrats, federal records show.
If Reid did anything improper, throw him from the train. It will be worth it because for every Dem that is implicated with this sleaze bag there will be 30 Republicans.
You are however a BI-Participating .

Tremors Across Washington as Lobbyist Will Aid Inquiry
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 - As a high-flying Republican lobbyist, Jack Abramoff has long been known as a mover and shaker in Washington. But when he cut a deal with federal prosecutors on Tuesday, he shook up this town as never before.
Not long ago, Mr. Abramoff was perhaps Washington's most aggressive - and, at $750 an hour, most highly compensated - deal maker, a flamboyant man who moved fluidly through the nexus of money and power. Now his decision to cooperate in a broadening corruption and bribery investigation has thrust him into the role of a corporate insider turning against the company that claimed just to be doing business as usual.
Even before Mr. Abramoff left the federal courthouse on Tuesday in a trench coat and fedora, nervous lawmakers of both parties, and even the White House, began trying to distance themselves from him.
Speaker J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois announced that he would donate to charity $69,000 in campaign contributions directed to him by Mr. Abramoff.
The plea bargain also had immediate ripple effects for a lawmaker who was once Mr. Abramoff's closest ally in the Republican leadership, Representative Tom DeLay of Texas. Mr. DeLay, indicted on a count of money laundering in a separate campaign-related case in Texas, is trying to regain his post as House majority leader, but Mr. Abramoff's plea complicates his prospects.
Mr. Abramoff, 46, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion, and prosecutors said he used campaign contributions, lavish trips, meals and other perks to influence lawmakers and their aides. Court papers filed on Tuesday singled out just one member of Congress, "Representative No. 1," identified elsewhere as Representative Bob Ney, Republican of Ohio.
But that was cold comfort on Capitol Hill, where there was a sense of lawmakers and lobbyists' waiting for the other shoe to drop. In a city whose history is rife with scandal and the political price it exacts, from the F.B.I. sting operation known as Abscam to the savings and loans collapse involving "the Keating Five," some experts feared that the Abramoff investigation would eclipse all the rest.
While Mr. Abramoff is most closely linked to Republicans, even Democrats, many of whom also benefited from his largesse, acted skittish.
"We're talking about people who have longstanding careers in Congress who took contributions from somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody who knew Jack Abramoff," said a Democratic Congressional aide who insisted on anonymity so as not to drag his boss into the scandal. "Now they're panicked. The hope is that this investigation will root out the wrongdoing without innocent people getting hit with the ricochet."
Mr. Abramoff's plea bargain is scary to Washington's power brokers precisely because he was so entangled with so many of them.
His ties to Grover G. Norquist, a leading conservative strategist and president of Americans for Tax Reform, and Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition who is now a candidate for lieutenant governor in Georgia, date from his college days.
He once worked as a lobbyist alongside David H. Safavian, who was the head of the White House procurement office until just before his arrest last fall in the Abramoff investigation. And Mr. Abramoff's former personal assistant once worked for Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist.
At the White House, administration officials have been reluctant to comment on the case, referring questions to the Justice Department and declining to defend Mr. Safavian. But on Tuesday morning, the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, denounced Mr. Abramoff's actions.
"What he is reportedly acknowledging doing is unacceptable and outrageous," Mr. McClellan said. "If laws were broken, he must be held to account and punished for what he did."
Some Democrats saw the plea bargain as good political news. They are trying to build their 2006 midterm campaigns around what they call the Republican "culture of corruption" and say Mr. Abramoff taps into that theme.
Minutes after his deal was announced, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which tries to help elect Democrats to Congress, trumpeted the news on its Web site. "Breaking News: Jack Abramoff to Plead Guilty," the headline said.
Publicly, Republicans insisted that they were not worried.
"I think there may have been some nervousness, but after reading the plea agreement today and seeing that only one person was named, there's got to be a little bit of relief out there," said Carl Forti, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
But privately, some said they were concerned that the Justice Department might try to interpret bribery statutes more broadly than in the past. They fear a lesser standard of proof could ensnare lawmakers, lobbyists and aides, current and former.
"There's a lot of talk coming out of various quarters that the Justice Department is going to pursue a different definition of bribery, meaning that if somebody were to give a gift or a campaign contribution in the same time period as a member took an official action, that in and of itself would cons ute bribery," said a former Republican leadership aide who insisted on anonymity. "That scares the bejesus out of people."
A one-time Hollywood filmmaker, Mr. Abramoff began his rise in Republican power circles in the 1980's, when he was chairman of the College Republicans National Committee. His staff included Mr. Norquist and Mr. Reed.
In 1994, when the Republicans reclaimed the House after 40 years, Mr. Abramoff rose to power with them. He used his contacts with Mr. DeLay and other prominent Republicans to build a lucrative lobbying and business enterprise that, at its peak, included a fancy restaurant, Signatures, with a special kosher kitchen. His primary clients were Indian tribes, which he has now acknowledged bilking.
From complimentary meals at his restaurant to lavish golfing trips to Scotland, including one taken by Mr. Ney and another by Mr. DeLay, to lucrative skybox tickets at Washington sports events, Mr. Abramoff's largesse seemed to know no bounds.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, an organization that tracks campaign contributions, he has directed more than $4.4 million since 1999 to candidates and campaign committees. The money came mostly from Mr. Abramoff's clients, but also directly from him and from a casino boat company that he once owned.
On Tuesday, a spokesman for Mr. Hastert said the speaker would join a growing list of members of Congress who have returned or donated money given them by Mr. Abramoff.
"The speaker believes that while these contributions were legal, it is appropriate to donate the money to charity," said the spokesman, Ron Bonjean.
Mr. DeLay, whose former press secretary, Michael Scanlon, was Mr. Abramoff's business partner and has also been indicted in connection with the investigation, has been working furiously to resolve the Texas case before the House reconvenes on Jan. 31.
The intent was to clear his name and forestall any call for leadership elections. But Republicans say even a legal victory in Texas could be overshadowed by Mr. Abramoff's case.
A spokesman for Mr. DeLay said that the lawmaker had nothing to fear from Mr. Abramoff's plea and that it should not be a factor in whether he should resume his position as majority leader.
"Mr. DeLay has been very clear that all of his actions were properly vetted and they were promptly and publicly disclosed in accordance with House ethics rules," the spokesman, Kevin Madden, said. "So there is no reason for him to be concerned."
The investigation is prompting people inside and outside Congress to change their behavior.
(... the entire ing system is $$$corrupt from top to bottom, east to west. )
Mr. Hastert has raised the possibility of new ethics training for lawmakers.
Paul Miller, president of the 700-member American League of Lobbyists, said lawmakers and lobbyists were "taking a step backward and assessing how they are doing business and how they are operating."
Even as Mr. Miller acknowledged that Mr. Abramoff's case had tarnished his industry, he took pains to dispute the idea that Mr. Abramoff deserved the description "superlobbyist," so often bestowed on him in a city where money and influence speak louder than words and where when the mighty fall they fall hard.
"Jack Abramoff," Mr. Miller said, "is nothing more than a supercrook."
