Democrat Lobbyist Jack Abramoff Fingers Reid
ABC News reports:
As convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff reported to federal prison today, a source close to the investigation surrounding his activities told ABC News that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was one of the members of Congress Abramoff had allegedly implicated in his cooperation with federal prosecutors.
But... I thought?
- "Former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison on March 29." - Washington Post
- "As a high-flying Republican lobbyist, Jack Abramoff has long been known as a mover and shaker in Washington." - New York Times
- "As details poured out about the illegal and unseemly activities of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff..." - TIME
- "Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion." - Jim Lehrer, PBS
- "...the bribery schemes of convicted GOP superlobbyist Jack Abramoff." - The Philadelphia Inquirer
Sigh.
If it walks like a politician and talks like a politician, it's probably a big fat liar.
Also...
