Folks, I've spent a little bit of time gleaning information from recent AP and
Washington Post articles about Jack Abramoff. I thought it might be a good idea to post a summary of the case here and get everyone caught up-to-date.
Here goes.
Some facts about Jack Abramoff from the AP and
Washington Post:
- He owns a lobbying operation called Greenberg Traurig.
- He hired seven Democrats, including a former chief of staff to Harry Reid, to work in his lobbying operation.
- These lobbyists bribed top Democrats, including Harry Reid, to influence votes on Native American and Asia/Pacific issues.
- They got caught and now Abramoff is going to prison.
- The investigation has caught up top Democrats, including Harry Reid.
This is pretty scary stuff. Anyone know how we can respond to these allegations,
besides filling in reporters on the facts of the case, which are in complete opposition to the stories that they are reporting?
Any ideas, fill them in below.
