Just what is this about? "Hillary Clinton's fundraising committee has agreed to a $35,000 fine." People don't end up paying tens of thousands of dollars because they are light beings. |

Abramoff (born February 28, 1959) is a lobbyist who, on January 3, 2006, pled guilty to three criminal felony counts in federal court[1] and, on January 4, 2006, pled guilty in a separate matter to two criminal felony counts in a different federal court.[2] ***Abramoff is a central figure in a series of high-profile political scandals directly linked to over 200 Republican members of Congress.*** ***Abramoff has never directly contributed any money to Democrats. [3] Some of Abramoff's clients have contributed money to some Democrats, however, there is no evidence that these independent contributions were linked to any corruption.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 53584 United States 01/08/2006 05:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Big Fix 2006 : Is Abramoff Getting Away with MURDER? Tom DeLay's on trial, Randy Cunningham's going to jail, the Republican Party is mired in corruption and cronyism, Sun Cruz Casino “Mob Boy” Adam Kidan's already cut a deal, and Jack Abramoff’s plea agreement with federal prosecutors is expected to result in the biggest Congressional housecleaning in decades… Yet, appearances to the contrary, “The Big Fix 2006” may already be in on the Republican big money scandals. The show may be over before it began. Despite the drumbeat of new revelations (like the Desperate Housewives of Congressional Republicans pulling down six-figure incomes for duties which are the very definition of ‘vague’), in the silent newsnights before Christmas it began to become apparent that once again something was going horribly, terribly, wrong… The sight of neo-con greedheads and faux Christian leaders littering the landscape like recently-sodomized sugar plum fairies (paging Ralph Reed, white courtesy phone) may everywhere be warming the hearts of men and women of good will. But Federal prosecutors aren’t just doling out justice. They appear to be putting a cover-up in place. “Casino Jack” Abramoff and minion Adam Kidan just may be about to get away with murder. Maybe it was all Little Tony's idea...d'ya think? Anyone doubting this assertion should perform this simple thought experiment: “You’ve just bought a life insurance policy for $10 million on your spouse, who is then shot three times at close range with hollow point rounds by people later identified as Gambino hit men by authorities, who—drat the luck— have recently cashed big checks from you… Which should you now be doing: A. Planning a new life of leisure with your big insurance settlement? Or: B. Looking to dye your hair red and drive at your earliest convenience across the Mexican border in a white Bronco? Alas for America, both Abramoff and Kidan appear to be availing themselves of a third alternative, one made possible by an unacknowledged fact of American life: “Being connected means never having to say your sorry.” Writing a quarter million dollars worth of checks (for no discernible purpose) to Mafia hit men who are later charged with the murder of the check-writer’s biggest enemy in the whole damn world is just another in a long line of "freak coincidences" in South Florida, a place where things have always been a little… different. 'Big Tony' Moscatiello and two second-rate mobsters were charged with the murder of Sun Cruz Casino magnate Gus Boulis in September. It is a case in which Jack Abramoff and his henchman Adam Kidan both have massive and totally obvious criminal exposure. Without an agreement to shield them from prosecution in the Boulis murder, neither man would seem to have any reason to accept a plea agreement...yet it is unmentioned in their announced deals with federal prosecutors. It is fast becoming unmentionable. "Careful with that ax, Eugene" Take the ginger handling the looming murder rap hanging over both men has gotten in the press… “As part of his agreement with prosecutors, Mr. Kidan pledged to cooperate with federal prosecutors… ” read a Hartford Courant Editorial called, “WILL MR. ABRAMOFF SING?” “Mr. Kidan may also be able to help state prosecutors who are investigating the slaying of Konstantinos Boulis. Mr. Boulis, who owned the casino boat fleet, was shot and killed in 2001 during arguments over the sale.’ Reporting that “Mr. Kidan may be able to help prosecutors investigating the Boulis hit” is as understated a drollery as stating O.J. might be able to help authorities find the killer of Nicole Simpson. This kid glove treatment illustrates how little reason there is for believing that this time the big broom will sweep everything clean. The Abramoff Scandal is The Big Enchilada. Like Iran Contra, it is too big to ever be allowed to break. It involves, as we will see, virtually the whole apparatus of America’s secret government. And it leads to places that have nothing to do with Abramoff’s “cover ” as a “College Republican leader” turned “big money lobbyist.” Exposure would open up what Sen. Fulbright once famously called, referring to the Bay of Pigs/JFK assassination, “An endless can of worms.” Check out the truth inadvertently leaked in a trailer for one of Abramoff’s two movies, both of which were funded with money from South African military intelligence, from over a decade ago... “He's a human killing machine. Taught to stalk. Trained to kill. Programmed to destroy. He's played by their rules... Until now. They think they control him... Think again.” [link to www.madcowprod.com] |
