Jack Abramoff Lobbying and Political Contributions, 1999 - 2006* Former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff used to be the toast of Washington. Now he has plead guilty to fraud, public corruption and tax evasion in connection with dealings related to his American Indian clients, of whom he and former associate Michael Scanlon are accused of defrauding millions in fees. Scanlon was charged in November by the Justice Department with conspiracy to corrupt a US lawmaker and is now cooperating with federal investigators. Abramoff, in exchange for his plea, could face up to ten years in prison while also setting the stage for investigators to use him as a witness against his former colleagues and political allies. Many in Washington have turned on Abramoff, who used his connections to influence legislation by enticing lawmakers with golf trips, sporting events or fancy meals at his Washington restaurant. Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who once described Abramoff as a friend, now denies having been tied to him. He has also agreed to plead guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with his 2000 purchase of SunCruz Casinos, a casino boat company that he had formerly represented. Adam Kidan, a SunCruz business partner, was also indicted. Here is a detailed look at Abramoff's lobbying, and political contributions from Abramoff, the tribes that hired him, and SunCruz Casinos, since 1999. Thus, Coburn has been removed from the list because the Keetowah Band did not retain Abramoff as their lobbyist. The National Republican Congressional Committee received $40,500 from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in 2004, not $20,500. The Center will continue to update these pages as information becomes available.

Mr Grossman signed a "Conciliation Agreement" with the FEC on December 13, 2005, admitting his culpability, and agreeing to pay a civil fine and amend his false reports to reflect the $721,000 that he failed to report since October, 2000. Howard Wolfson's false statements to the Washington Post days after Event 39 was produced and paid for by Paul in August 2000, and proceeding through false testimony given at the trial of finance director David Rosen for the offenses that Grossman is now taking responsibility for! S Sec 434 of the Federal Election Camp aign Act of 1971 and 11 CFR Sec 102. This amounts to a civil indictment of Hillary's Joint Fundraising Committee and its treasurer for filing false FEC reports for Hillary Clinton. Grossman's agreement with this finding of probable cause by the FEC, that he did file false reports that hid more than $720,000 in contributions made by Peter Paul to Hillary's campaign, amounts to his admission to violating the criminal statute Title 18 Sec 1001, making false statements to government agencies, which Hillary's finance director David Rosen was indicted and tried for in May,2005. third false report to be filed by Grossman weeks after she received various sworn pleadings and statements accompanied by checks and invoices. This third false report, made in direct response to an inquiry by the FEC regarding earlier reports on Event 39- the Hollywood Farewell Gala Salute to President Clinton - was clearly an intentional false statement made with wanton disregard for its truthfulness, with the full knowledge, complicity and collusion of Hillary Clinton and her counsel, David Kendall. civil suit Paul v Hillary R Clinton et al filed on June 18, 2001 and served on David Kendall on July 11, 2001). Hillary will attempt to spin the finding by the FEC as an exoneration of her other Senate campaign committee and herself, because she was not found to be liable under FEC law. She will not refer to the fact that the FEC has no jurisdiction over Title 18 of the US Code. Her potential criminal liability based on Title 18, for aiding and abetting, conspiring, colluding with and misprisoning Mr Grossman's filing of material false statements to the FEC and the IRS, and then obstructing the federal investigation of those actions that led to the indictment and prosecution of her finance director, is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Justice Department. Considering the accountability of others like Lewis Libby for misleading government investigators about a non-crime, the voters of New York should demand a further investigation into Hillary's own conduct in hiding the identity and the amount donated by her largest contributor from the voters before her election, and then from the government agencies after the election.. When the FEC publishes all the documents supporting their findings within 45 days, and when NY Senate 2000 is forced to finally amend its false FEC reports as provided in the Conciliation Agreement, the truth will be there for even the blind to see. The landmark civil suit Paul v Clinton et al begins the discovery phase in early 2006, after the California Supreme Court denied David Kendall's appeals to dismiss the case against both Clintons. The testimony under oath by the multitude of witnesses to Hillary's misconduct wil challenge Hillary and Bill to tell the truth in their own depositions or face the prospect of new perjury charges even more serious than those that emanated from Paula Jones' deposition of Bill. a third fraudulent FEC report to be filed by her Senate campaign treasurer on the last day of July, 2001. Now, all of the principal allegations that were made, in every way possible in 2000, have been corroborated in the first ever indictment and trial of a Senator's finance director for election fraud. The FBI confirmed that the contributions he made were hidden by Hillary's campaign and never reported, making the contributions illegal per se. Yet Hillary, and her campaign treasurer Andrew Grossman, continue to this day to defy the law that requires her campaign (at her direction, as the candidate with personal knowledge of the fraud) to correct the three false FEC returns and immediately refund the contribution that they now know is illegal. formal ethics complaint was filed with the Senate in May, 2005, no one in the Senate, in the Democratic or Republican Parties, in the Justice Department or in the media, has demanded an explanation from the 2008 candidate for President as to why she refuses to correct false FEC returns and refund illegal contributions! No one has raised any public concern regarding why Hillary Clinton is exempt from any accountability for a camapign fraud that dwarfs anything alleged against Tom DeLay, indicted in Texas, and Governor Taft of Ohio, who was forced to plead to a misdemeanor for failing to report golf fees paid by a supporter. my letter to Hillary on July 16, 2001, a voice crying in the wilderness, "Rather than perpetuating the signature Clinton ethic of denial, semantical and rhetorical responses to valid requests and questions, and stonewalling, it is time to accept your responsibility as a Federal elected official and do the right thing according to the letter of the law, the position your campaign spokespeople have taken, and natural laws of right and ethical conduct, and return the contributions I made, which you have by your collective actions, made illegal. I was advised by the FEC a few weeks ago that the investigation surrounding my 2001 FEC complaint against Hillary has now been completed as far as my role in the matter is concerned, and I have been exonerated. History will judge what will come of the five year FEC investigation, in the meantime, all Americans should feel very insecure with the knowledge that Hillary Clinton has now demonstrated, in this case more than any other, that she has reached a position of power that has solidly placed her above the law and above media scrutiny and accountability for obeying the law. Now, four and one half years later, only months before Hillary will be totally immunized from prosecution by the tolling of the staute of limitations, Hillary continues to refuse to obey the law. And Hillary Skates Again Once again, the media and law enforcement contrasts between their dealings with the GOP leadership and the DNC/Clinton leadership, is extremely puzzling. The serial criminal violations by the Clinton DNC leadership that I personally know of, and that I detailed to the Justice Department in six separate proffers in 2001-2002, as well as to various media outlets, remain entirely unaddressed. There seems to be a law enforcement crack down on the GOP leadership with a complimentary media feeding frenzy on the GOP "culture of corruption in Washington", as reported by the Associated Press today, while there is an absence of any announced investigations or prosecutions of Democrats for similar or more egregious ethical improprieties: Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and tax charges and tearfully resigned from office today... Tom DeLay of Texas had to step down as majority leader after he was indicted in a campaign finance case; a stock sale by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is being looked at by regulators; and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff was indicted in the CIA leak case. This Third Quarter IRS filing by Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign reflects the identical fraudulent statement to the IRS that Hillary made to the FEC- for which her finance director was indicted and tried for fraud. The significance of a false statement regarding the campaign's income (which was repeated in the final IRS return filed by Hillary's campaign) should be more understandable to the average citizen than the significance of a fraudulent FEC report. Everyone understands understating income to the IRS> Securities Fraud. Hillary's infoamous trading of commodities contracts resulted in SEC investigations and indictments of her trader, but not for her, because no one "in the know" revealed the truth. She managed to turn a $1,000 " investment" in a commodities pool into a $98,000 pro...
