Daily Kos: The Abramoff bomb drops in September: He is talking and he’ll testify.
This should be good. I wonder if he's naming the good names yet?
Yes, McCain's name has been brought up.
Quote:
McCain had a very funny idea about following the money.
He only wanted to show that Tribal Governments paid Abramoff money. He never wanted to follow what happened to that money when it moved into the coffers of his Party and his colleagues.
McCain’s version of Abramoff is one of greed personified. A grifter who took but never did anything in return. It is now the popular image of Abramoff. Some of it is true, but not most of it.
In truth, Abramoff delivered for his clients. He had real connections in the White House and on Capital Hill. He got earmarks. He got people fired. He got things slipped into laws and regulations to benefit his clients.
In John McCain’s version of reality, Jack Abramoff’s effectiveness and power within the Republican Party was hidden. It was more of a cover-up than an investigation.
