Abramoff Implicates Harry Reid In Jack Abramoff No Agenda For over a year we've been exposing the connections between Democrats like Harry Reid and embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff... Well, looks like now we're getting all the juicy details from Jack Abramoff himself: <<< As convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff reported to federal prison today, a source close to the investigation surrounding his activities told ABC News that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was one of the members of Congress Abramoff had allegedly implicated in his cooperation with federal prosecutors. [...] A source close to the investigation says Abramoff told prosecutors that more than $30,000 in campaign contributions to Reid from Abramoff's clients "were no accident and were in fact requested by Reid." Abramoff has reportedly claimed the Nevada senator agreed to help him on matters related to Indian gambling. The Associated Press reported earlier this year that Reid wrote at least four letters helpful to the tribes that had contributed money to his campaign. Reid has denied there was any connection between the letters and the contributions and has said he is a longtime opponent of certain kinds of Indian reservation gambling. The AP reported that Reid acknowledged "routine contacts" with Abramoff's lobbying partners and intervening to block rival tribal casinos. The AP also reported that Abramoff's billing records showed extensive contact with Reid's office over a three-year period in which Reid collected more than $68,000 from Abramoff's firm, partners and clients. >>> "Reid" the whole thing. blogs.abcnews.com UPDATE: Jason notes the chicken is finally coming home to roost. texasrainmaker.com noagenda.org blogs.abcnews.com
