DeLay and Abramoff
by TChris
A "mountain of evidence" is piling up against lobbyist Jack Abramoff in various investigations of influence-peddling and corruption. Whether the mountain will fall on top of Tom DeLay or other members of Congress remains to be seen.
Although there is no suggestion in public documents that any lawmaker is the target of a federal grand jury that is investigating Mr. Abramoff, disclosures about his lobbying activities have become embarrassing to prominent members of Congress. In recent weeks, Mr. Ney, Mr. DeLay and other lawmakers have gone on the offensive against the suggestion that their actions on Capitol Hill were influenced by foreign travel or other gifts from Mr. Abramoff.
DeLay and Ney aren't the only politicians to benefit from a cozy relationship with Abramoff.
