"Who ya gonna trust, Jack or Tom? "
I would say neither.
Mr. Delay is trying to distance himself from Mr. Abramoff just like everybody else.
Mr. Abramoff is in the habit of being a lobbyist. Enhance stories, relationships, to grease the wheels. That is what he was getting paid to do. He did it well, for a long time, and did it LEGALLY.
Why is he under prosecution?
IMHO he is being persecuted to deflect the attention of the public away from the fact that there are tons of lobbyists who are not to ethical, and have donated money straight into the pockets of a largely DEM crowd of politicians.
If that were to be investigated, there wouldn't be any DEM politicos left able to run for any office in our country.
So, they picked on Abramoff because he donated Indian money to the legal coffers of REPUBS and DEMS, but when the DEMS tried to say it was all REPUBS and it turned out the DEMS got more than the REPUBS, they had to turn the public's attention somewhere.
I am from MISSOURI. SHOW ME WHAT HE DID WRONG.
Show me why Hillary can use insider trading info to turn $1000 into $100,000, but Martha Stewart goes to jail.
"You're really no one in this town unless you haven't met me"...
Cool! I guess that makes me a somebody!!!!
Abramoff isn't being prosecuted for his lobbying activities.
Instead, he's being prosecuted for wire fraud due to the patently fraudulent financing of a business deal he was involved in.
The business acquisition later led to a murder -- which was contracted by Abramoff's partner in the acquisition.
Pure, sleezy crook -- he's not being "targeted" by anybody for political purposes.
I've heard that the wearing of the hat is related to his Orthodox Jewish faith. He may not have intended to look like a gangster.
Where is moose and squirrel?
Doesn't he really mean:
You're no one unless you have met me?
