Abramoff Lobbyist Says Reid Not Involved This guy Platt was Abramoff's pointman and though he contacted Reid's office, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing, plus he claims the AP article was inaccurate. Maybe a Bushie liar infiltrating AP for the day? "In his statement, Platt sought to minimize the extent of his lobbying of Reid's office on behalf of Abramoff, who has pleaded guilty in a fraud and bribery case. "These contacts were incidental, insofar as I simply bumped into Reid staffers at Democratic Party functions or occurred incidental to discussions regarding my clients, not Abramoff's," Platt said. "Any contacts that I may have had in regards to Abramoff's tribal clients would have been similarly incidental." As for the 21 contacts listed in the billing records, Platt noted Abramoff has pleaded guilty to defrauding clients and said the references in the AP story were inaccurate. He was not more specific.
