Reason 4: A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words
"Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Ney didn't recall meeting with members of the Tigua tribe of Texas when Senate investigators questioned him during a probe of rogue lobbyist Jack Abramoff. But leaders of the El Paso tribe who lost $4.2 million to Abramoff remember small details of their get-together in Ney's Capitol Hill office and even took pictures with Ney... 'He was red like a lobster from that Scotland trip and had a terrible sunburn,' recalled Tigua Lt. Governor Carlos Hisa, who said his tribe was asked to pay $50,000 for the trip." (Sabrina Eaton, Plain Dealer)

"Neil G. Volz, who was chief of staff to Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) before joining Abramoff's lobbying firm, told a federal jury yesterday how the disgraced lobbyist identified his "champions" in government and then showered them with favors to get inside information and help for his clients... "We would call them 'champions,' " Volz told a U.S. District Court jury, now in its second week hearing evidence that Safavian lied to GSA and ethics officials about his dealings with Abramoff...Volz testified that Safavian and Ney guided the lobbyists as they looked for ways to gain access to government-owned land in Maryland, which Abramoff wanted for a religious school, in the weeks before the lobbyists took the two officials on a luxury golf trip to Scotland."
