Original message from Abramoff, Jack Why you'll want to make a documentary?
Nobody looks at documentaries.
You should make an action film.
CASINO JACK AND THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY
Shooting was heard in the streets of Fort Lauderdale ...
... In February 2001. When the shooting ces ...
... The Greek tycoon Gus Boulis business opossum dead ...
... In what appears to be murder of the mafia.
The millionaire magnate is best known ...
... As the founder of the Miami Subs restaurant chain ...
... And now as the former owner of SunCruz casino ships.
Dock the boat here but ...
The wealthy businessman in southern Florida, 51 years ...
... Was killed by blood cold.
When Gus Boulis was killed ...
... I think it's the right word ...
... I remember someone made a joke ...
... Not quite understand at that time was:
"That will be really hard for Jack."
Jack Abramoff wears many hats ...
... A baseball cap to go today to the federal building in Miami King ...
... A fedora hat too large in Washington a few months ago ...
... And now this fudge is about to get in trouble ...
... From this afternoon in federal court in Miami.
He has pleaded guilty in a multimillion scam here ...
... With the purchase of the SunCruz casino ship in Fort Lauderdale.
I was not particularly interested ...
... To write about it at that point.
SunCruz was asked about ...
... And ah's when I really got nervous.
Abramoff and his partner, Adam Kidan ...
... Have confessed to having swindled more than $ 40 million ...
... With that business to the lenders.
It became obvious immediately that it would be a much bigger issue ...
... Because he was too well known figure on Capitol Hill ...
... Truly an outstanding lobbyist ...
... Very extensive connections in both the Republican Party itself ...
... As the Republican Congress.
The government says Abramoff has admitted bribing ...
... 20 members of Congress.
Its activities were much more all legal lobbying.
Was the number one lobbyist in Washington ...
... Pruning contact the most influential members of Congress.
It's amazing How many members of Congress wanted to work with Jack.
Mr. President, if you say you have no fear ... ningn
When the story is reported ...
... President Bush tried to distance openly put Jack Abramoff.
Frankly, I do not even remember having taken a picture with the guy.
Suddenly, nobody remembered Jack Abramoff.
- I do not know. - Of course, Bush knows it.
Absolutely.
It's amazing how much managed to Abramoff and his people closer ...
... On the levers of power in Washington.
Tenamos no idea that this would lead to the resignation of Tom DeLay ...
... To Bob Ney's conviction ...
... Tony Rudy, Neil Volz.
There were so many people who fell on this network ...
Ralph Reed, John Doolittle ...
... Karl Rove, Dick Armey ...
... Conrad Burns, Don Young ...
... Grover Norquist.
It was all about money.
It is the U.S. sales.
The man who bought WASHINGTON
Who was this man, Jack Abramoff ...
... It had bought in Washington?
Of where I left?
What were you looking for?
Was to influence, power or just money?
What was it that was bought and qu was what was sold?
There is more than blood, bones and the strength of this democracy ...
... That great men gave him the human race, that's all.
It has always been as ...
... Or something has changed?
We once more innocent ...
... Or just naive?
Abramoff is the story of a tale of personal corrupcin ...
... Or the story than what has become this democracy?
UNITED STATES SENATE
Das good.
In February ...
... The Commission began to investigate allegations of misconduct ...
... Submitted by six tribes indgenas against his former lobbyist, Jack Abramoff ...
... And former adviser to politicians, Michael Scanlon.
Since our first hearing ...
... The insatiable greed of the lords Abramoff and Scanlon ...
... Country to the forefront.
Today's hearing is about something more than the contempt ...
... And even more than greed.
It is simply and sadly a case of betrayal.
Abramoff's case would be only ...
... John McCain accusing Abramoff had defrauded Indian tribes.
l tena no idea then ...
... Of how much Republicans were to appear involved in that.
It began as something pequeoy became something much bigger ...
... And it was difficult to re-close the lid.
Melanie Sloan is a withdrawal tax ...
... Who now works for an independent watchdog of government.
We begin by carefully reviewing all campaign contributions ...
... Watching all that Jack Abramoff money they spent Bean ...
... And quines were associated with Jack Abramoff.
So it comes down to trace the money.
What interest at Sloan ...
... Was something that audiences ignored McCain:
The huge sums of cash that went to the Indian tribes ...
... At the hands of Republican politicians ...
... And its funds and organizations benfica favorites.
Jack aline with certain members of Congress that provides free access ...
... In exchange for cash.
Take the money from the tribes ...
... You can take as much as ytmalo so quickly as you can.
I make these politicians know that I will be ...
... The vehicle responsible for the delivery of this money.
I represent the access to money ...
... T represents access to power.
It is a perfect circle.
To make a perfect circle, all you need is cash.
Like most of the lobbyists, Jack Abramoff understanding ...
... The main weakness of American politicians.
To stay in power, ready estn traffic ...
... Free access and influence in exchange for money.
Jack thought that was a good thing.
The sale of the politicians was the free market in action.
IF I WERE RICH
Jack Abramoff was born in Atlantic City in 1959.
His father tried his luck in the casino business ...
... And then he moved to Beverly Hills when Abramoff was 10 years.
Surrounded by the children of the film industry ...
... Jack was fanatic in high school movies Beverly Hills ...
... Where he also became active in student politics.
A tough competitor ...
Jack was a champion ... selected in the American football team ...
... And a weightlifting champion.
Pruning up about 232 kilos.
As a teenager, he rebelled against the secular habits of their parents.
Mixing a spiritual yearning with a cinematic imagination ...
... Decided to become Orthodox judo ...
... After seeing "Fiddler on the Roof."
The judasmo is a conservative and traditionalist religion.
Therefore, the judasmo and eternal values ...
... Have little in common with modern American liberalism.
Jack found a way to link the religion with politics ...
... To become an orthodox conservative.
In business, in politics and national defense ...
... Believe that the law of the jungle was what should prevail ...
PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE REPUBLICANS
... And convey those beliefs to the College Republicans.
If you look around in Washington, DC today ...
... And come to the College Republicans 20 years ago ...
... When we were all active ...
... Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed and Karl Rove before us ...
... If you look at quines control this area ...
... Who determines the politics to follow ...
... Who took the offices of Congress, the White House and the rest ...
... Vern who are former College Republicans.
THE COLLEGE REPUBLICANS
You can not make someone 35 years taught him the Republican Party ...
... How to reach youth. You can not trust that.
The young are the ones who must come to the demsjvenes ...
... And that is what we do.
First of all, voter registration ...
... Is probably the most important function we are doing.
This is a generation that came to the university in 70 years ...
... Rebelndose against the 60, against their distinctive character.
We hope that Mr. Nixon ...
In the past, we saw it at least ...
... Most recent government anti-communist.
I was a Young American for Freedom.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA RELEASE
Trabajbamos always in coordination with the College Republicans ...
... But they were not conservative enough ...
... For us in ideology ...
... Until it involves Jack Abramoff. Rightward shift in CAMPUS
S then became ideological conservatives.
And he wrote Abramoff?
- As is. - Okay.
Chairman of College Republicans.
- National Committee. S. - Agreed.
Abramoff is a bit older than me ...
... But I was a College Republican in the early 80's.
And when the college Republicans ...
... Got that sharp right turn, was the same address where I was.
Tenamos many of the same heroes ... I think Ronald Reagan ...
... The man was bigger than bean existed.
In this present crisis ...
... The government is not the solution to our problem.
The government is the problem.
The campaign of the Reagan '80s for young conservatives ...
... What the '72 McGovern been for the young bean left.
Mike Waller was a soldier ... VACATION IN NICARAGUA, 1984
... In the growing army of college Republicans Ronald Reagan.
When traveling to Nicaragua to support the Contras ...
... Waller is veaas it as part of Reagan's crusade ...
... To fight communism sovitico.
Tenamos guys doing things at 800 universities ...
... And traveling all Tenan guest speakers.
He made it very exciting to be a college student ...
... And be a Republican. Fundacin EE. UU.
We are carrying through of these students ...
... Information other students in the universities ...
... To understand what is happening around them.
The tena a great way to express ...
... Energy tena, tena is confidence, luca either camera.
And what I think was an important ... more
... It was uplifting to others as pruning l do the same ...
... And Ralph Reed.
A fanatic policy of the University of Georgia ...
... Ralph Reed was not interested in politics of compromise.
"I fought guerrilla style," he said.
"I painted the face and travel at night.
Do not you realize that over until you put a bag of dead bodies. "
At the headquarters of the College Republicans ...
... The favorite movie was "Patton."
They loved that general rhetorical war.
Impress your forzndoles field organizers to memorize ...
... The keynote speech of George C. Scott in the movie ...
... But substituting "Democrat" with "Nazis."
- The Nazis ... - "The Democrat is the enemy."
... Are the enemy.
- Atquenlos -. Atquenlos. "
- Shed their blood. - "Spilled his blood."
- Disprenles the stomach. - "Disprenles the stomach."
And That is the kind of rhetorical wearing ...
... To excite and enlist all young volunteers.
The membership skyrocketing.
Salan in the news. They organized protests.
Buenos das, my name is Ralph Reed ...
... I am the executive director of Students for EE. UU.
They liked to be this kind of fake soldiers of fortune.
S, was dressed in fatigues ... Think of Indiana Jones ...
... That's what these guys thought they were.
As those who estn and have been in Nicaragua ...
... Since the Sandinista Communists took power in that country.
They were very good at doing street theater ...
... And thus, for instance, burned effigies figures.
FRIENDS OF SOLIDARITY
Usually we build a Berlin Wall wrong.
- Break down the wall. - And then every year ...
...sal๏ฟฝamos con miembros del Congreso portando mazos...
... And hacamos aicos the Berlin Wall.
And everyone asked: "Who are these guys crazy?"
They were conservative in the traditional meaning of the word.
Were radical, they were revolutionary university.
Overthrew the old order, and the old order was liberalism.
Jack Abramoff was elected president of the College Republicans ...
... And his assistant was Grover Norquist.
Grover Norquist is a graduate of Harvard with a master ...
... He sees the government as a necessary evil.
The bean entenday studied the Russian revolution ...
Sac ... and lessons from it.
He veaas himself as a libertarian Leninist right.
antisovitico l was obviously ...
... But wanted to adopt the methodology Leninist politics ...
... And using it to republican or libertarian causes.
Grover Norquist, of course, see the world in black and white.
There are good and bad.
Pensbamos only then it was one of those people paranoid.
He was fairly quiet, a born conspirator.
Tena records of your friends. Tena dossiers on everyone.
Grover was not very sociable, but Jack Abramoff s.
l hello everyone ...
... Was that he could get donors to open their checkbooks.
We accept money Democrat ...
... Republicans, Libertarians and independents.
If you know someone who can help, please avsenme ...
... Because we certainly need all the help we can get.
Who was going to give money to a youth campaign?
And when you have someone who has created a great organization ...
... Est recruiting that many people into POLITICAL ...
... But can not raise money ...
... Then going to find out how to do it by all means necessary.
The Foundation, as the American Opportunity Foundation ...
... Estn covered by Article 501 (c) (3) for foundations ...
... The code of the General Tax Directorate.
Jack and his fellow College Republicans ...
... Occurred to them that may create a 501 (c) (3) ...
... A nonprofit organization ...
... And do the majority of your work as. And they did.
They called the founding of the United Students of EE. States ....
... Or the United Foundation. UU.
The United Foundation. UU. is an educational organization ...
The organizations created under the laws of financing of campaigns ...
... Not to be politicians. And in fact s were politicians.
Despite warnings from GOP lawyers ...
... Abramoff laundered the money through organizations POLITICAL benfica ...
... A tctica to redeploy years later.
Also spent much more ...
... Of the proceeds from the College Republicans.
Angered supervisors to borrow to buy ...
... Thousands of copies of a thriller antisovitica.
THE PUNZN
They all loved to read books on espionage ...
... And the book that opened my eyes was "Punzn."
It was then that we understand, for that stupid spy novel.
Soviticos then pull the strings ...
... And manipulate our politics domestics ...
... Like our common foreign ...
... And how Hacan it was with a committee of experts.
The right wing really believes ...
... That was how the soviticos as giving orders to the unwary here.
I serv.
I peel them.
And I'm about to get them ...
... The best podrn foothold they get in this country.
And it was the kind of anti-communism in which they create a kind of ...
Well, maybe the correct terms is "paranoid."
Ladies and gentlemen ...
... The president of the National Committee of the College Republicans ...
... Jack Abramoff, with the purpose of addressing the convencin.
Dmosle welcome Jack.
The party wanted me to give a speech in support of youngsters ...
Rejected ... and I write.
When I reach the podium, they see the speech in the teleprompter.
Republicans companions, I come before you today ...
... Representing American students ...
... The future of our Republican Party.
And while I'm away from that speech ...
... And back to what I had written, which stored bean ...
... The kind of teleprompter was looking for what I was saying.
As the teleprompter screens go up and down.
The first experience politics of my generation ...
... Was an EE. UU. embarrassed by the situation of the hostages ...
... With no future load growth ...
... Or Democrat victories.
Suddenly, I felt a tremor beneath my feet.
They said they would bring down the floor and out of my ah.
As I cling to the podium ...
... Agarrndome as hard as I can and giving my speech.
And given today's students know ...
... That support for freedom fighters antisoviticos ...
... And the victory over Communism ...
... We guarantee the security of our nation.
Thanks.
The freedom fighter ...
... Was kind of exteriorizacin of who they were them.
So these guys idealized.
He talked about the freedom fighters of Nicaragua.
They are the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers ...
... And the brave men and women of the French Resistance.
We can not turn away.
I was in college. Haba beer, you know?
I did not care about this, but ...
They need to convey to the American audience ...
... This idea of yours about the freedom fighters.
And not just about Jack Abramoff ...
... This is something that is in the new right of this period ...
... This kind of cult of freedom fighter.
I have been active with Jack ...
... Battling communism around the world and stuff.
A few of us, and Jack was part of that group ...
... We had the idea of ...
... The summit of freedom fighters.
THE ROAR OF THE JUNGLE
As they organized this huge public relations event ...
... With all the freedom fighters ...
... From different theaters of action antisovitica ...
... Were the muyahidn, of course cons ...
... All in Central America, and met in Angola ...
Of all places, s?
In this corner of Angola ...
... Bean released Savimbi of Angola's communist government.
On the right new people really well Savimbi caa ...
... And one reason was because Savimbipareca embrace their ideology ...
... All the topics about: the free market, anti-communist paranoia.
Habrn thought: "This guy is one of us."
Was democracy versus communism ...
... And that was why colaborbamos with some unsavory characters.
Savimbi was a guy who was not exactly perfect.
The party UNITA of Jonas Savimbi was funded by Sudfrica ...
... Who was then practicing racial segregation.
We have the support of South Africa. UNITA Rebel leader
Bean UNITA become famous for abducting thousands of children ...
... Agrcolas turn vast areas in minefields ...
... And kill their opponents politicians.
To build a new image.
We are a genuine freedom fighters.
He was a brilliant military commander, but a freedom fighter?
Not at all. The man was a butcher.
U.S. President. States ....
... Must have something important and appropriate to say on this occasion.
My task was to try to get a message from Ronald Reagan.
He said: "Mr. President, est heard about this meeting?
Have requested a letter from him. "
He said, "No, Dana, there s nothing about it."
He continued: "They asked for a letter, you have envirsela."
"You have all the reason, Dana. And I'll take care of this now."
"Sincerely, President Ronald Reagan."
Signed democrticos principles ...
... And the leaders were given to guerrilla ...
... The Declaration of Independence of the United States ...
... And a tazn of George Washington.
George Washington and his wife ...
... Used it in his home in Mount Vernon.
Chancellor of Reagan was furious ...
... For these independent efforts of the leaders for guerrillas.
Mr. President, there are other areas where you see ...
... That the organization can work with you SPECIFIC?
We must be realistic. What can we do?
Realism was disappointing.
Billed as a festival of Woodstock antisovitico ...
... The documentary production of Jack Angola ...
... Pas is the budget and did not reach a large audience.
As Jack decided to make ...
... An action film. Scorpion RED
Jack us Sudfrica contacts in the racially segregated ...
... To launch your career as a film producer.
Ests crazy?
No. ..
Only I was out of bullets.
Vividly in the imagination of Jack ...
... Savimbi was transformed from a brutal dictator ...
... In a George ashington angoleo.
We must get out of here.
Let's give them a beating.
It's about espionage and counter ...
... A very abramoffiana vision of the world.
And then, of course, is all kinds of destruction.
At the height of the action ...
Dolph Lundgren ... has to perform a test of strength.
You must make a move for weight lifting.
Jack lifted weights in high school.
And Dolph Lundgren made a move to champions ...
Weight lifting ... and save the situation.
And the rebels swept the Communists out y. ..
... And hooray. Savimbi came to power.
The action film Jack offered a fictitious victory ...
... To American conservatives.
Preparbamos us to the real issue.
- You did it. - Sure s.
THE REPUBLICAN revolution
In 1994 ...
... The Republican Party, led by Newt Gingrich ...
... Tom control of both chambers of Congress.
This was ...
... The Republican conservative revolution.
This is a truly historic night.
I mean, this is ...
I was an undergraduate ...
... And was a true believer in that whole Republican revolution.
Neil Volz arrived in Washington accompanied ...
... One of the new Members of the Republican revolution ...
... Bob Ney of Ohio.
The atmosphere was electrifying.
Tenamos the whole nation in a public outcry ...
... Because his was probably one of the most exciting elections more ...
... In the last 40 years of Democrat control ...
... Which I and others at the time ...
... Those that we were involved in politics, habamos says:
"No change in our lives." And he did.
The Haban Democrat controlled Congress for 40 years ...
Bean ... and some level of corruption that is installed bean ah.
So we unite against it.
And it is quite ironic that, years later ...
... I was going to be the face of a similar type of corrupcin ...
... For a totally different group of people.
When Newt Gingrich came to power, strong ties tena ...
... With two companions college Republicans Jack Abramoff:
Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed.
Many people feel afraid of you and there is a date ...
I look scary?
It does not seem scary. Seems to have only 18 years.
Ralph Reed is a man who lives by taking chances ...
... And always has. Always has been testing the limits.
He himself has said he was drinking heavily ...
... Smoking ...
... And then I found Jesus.
Reed discovered that the wages of sin ...
... Not be approached as lucrative as the wages of God.
In the years following his conversion ...
... The business of faith-based Reed ...
... Accumulated gains of more than $ 100 million ...
... Religious conservatives to deliver campaigns to politicians.
We will be the most powerful force in politics American politics.
The first is a grassroots strategy ...
He began his career with the Christian Coalition ...
... Founded by televangelist Pat Robertson ...
... To campaign against sex outside of marriage ...
... Gambling and abortion.
CHRISTIAN Coalition
Under Ralph Reed, the Christian Coalition became a center POLITICAL neurlgico.
Das good.
Estn happy to be in Washington?
For the Congress not to raise taxes vot ...
Beans also Grover Norquist promoted ...
... To the top of the Republican leadership ...
... By becoming a radical opponent of taxes.
I do not want to abolish the government ...
... I just want to reduce it to a size ...
... That could drag it to the bathroom and drown it in the tub.
To boost its antigovernment ideology ...
... Norquist helped start the Street Project K. ..
... With the mission to force lobbyists to Washington ...
... To become agents to raise money for Republicans.
As part of that campaign, the DC lobbying firms ...
... Were pressured to dismiss the Democrat ...
... And hire Republicans.
It makes sense.
You do not want to enrich and empower the opposition politics.
Y s wants to enrich and empower ...
... And politicians allied capabilities.
One of the leaders of the fight against taxes ...
... And the hidden taxes in the regulation, is Tom DeLay of Texas ...
In Tom DeLay ...
Norquist hall ... the man with the power politics to implement his vision.
- Member. - Thank you, Grover.
The government has become too large.
At some point along the way ...
... The principle that the government works ...
... To serve the people was distorted.
The solution of DeLay was handing over to market forces.
Who would pay ...
... Pruning play.
Tratbamos to establish ...
... The differences between the two parties.
DeLay ration access to the House Republicans ...
... According to the size of contributions to politicians.
Collect money for the party ...
... Pag them to its members according to what seems appropriate.
In each system there are people in charge of the money.
Tom DeLay was the Republican and the new majority.
The charge was the kind of money.
I'll give you this velvet hammer ...
Is pleased to be called "The Hammer."
He was not the velvet hammer, was the steel hammer.
The money was crucial to build a leadership structure ...
... And who contributed were rewarded.
The lobbyists are the ones who need things from members of Congress ...
... And therefore is more likely that members of Congress ...
... Attend to ask lobbyists for campaign contributions ...
... As well as receive them by law.
And the law says that there should be links between the two ...
... But in doing DeLay that this system of "pay to play" ...
... Appear much more acceptable ...
... Paving the way for someone ...
... As Abramoff arrived and was so successful.
THE RETURN OF JACK
Abramoff abandon the production of film to become a lobbyist.
In the Washington Republican ...
... Jack was the right man at the right time.
His credentials with the conservative movement ...
... Gave him access and entry to new leadership.
E instantaneously saw what way may build a customer base.
And then, in turn, that customer base ...
... Leadership may support politically ...
... Through campaign contributions.
He became a kind of elationship simbitica.
The relationship became even more important as ...
... The costs of the campaigns began to go through the roof.
The cost of the campaigns went through the roof in the modern era ...
... During the last 35 years.
It is an amazing increase.
SENATE field cost
The problem is the new technology of politics:
Television commercials.
Surveys and discussion groups to design television commercials ...
... Are simply too expensive.
And ningn serious candidate or incumbent can say
"No, I will not do that", or "That est beneath my dignity.
I'm not going to get a commercial to 30 seconds. "
Everyone does it.
One of the dirty little secrets that exist in Washington today ...
... Is how much time they spend members of the Chamber and the Senate each week ...
... Not just in election season, but all the time ...
... Throughout the year, talking on the phone asking for money.
The best-paid lobbyists help raise that money ...
... By which their customers expect a return on their investment.
On one occasion, a prominent lobbyist ...
... Arrived in my office with his client, seeking an assignment of funds.
An assignment of funds is an appropriation of cash ...
... Included in an appropriations act to channel money to his client.
Not 30 minutes after having left my office ...
... Call my campaign office ...
... Offering them organize a fund for m. recaudacin
This happens day after day in Washington.
A m I think the finance of campaigns ...
... Is a system of legalized bribery.
If you believe, as the HACA l ...
... That part of your job is to build a new elite Republican ...
... To control the city ...
... And yes, Jack was seen ...
... As a person who was going to be in that position ...
... That justifies you to do anything.
Ah is where you get in trouble ...
... Because I really think the laws do not apply here ...
... Because the goal is so important.
Jack knew that to achieve your goal, tena to get a man ...
... Tom DeLay.
Jack Abramoff was a committed conservative ...
... And was well known within the conservative movement.
And I treated with L equally to dealings with any other lobbyist.
Jack was not like any other lobbyist.
Tena a very special relationship with Tom DeLay.
I took a trip to Russia, Scotland, and the South Pacific.
Ensure that customers flood of money for the founding of DeLay ...
... And employed his wife.
And in exchange, DeLay Dej that Jack will be advertised as the same ...
... As the man one who had access to DeLay.
The first time I met with Jack Abramoff ...
... Was in charge of discipline office of the majority in an event.
Jack is unique.
Jack Abramoff convenceraa a dog out of a butcher.
L As is persuasive. He is the king of K Street As is the type.
Arrive five minutes, sitting next to someone who is willing to spend ...
... Million dollars to lobby in Washington ...
... And last five minutes walk away.
And the man or woman believes that Jack is talking with the President ...
... But probably are playing solitaire on your computer.
And then returns and says: "Oh, sorry, but I give him two minutes more.
And By the way, I need about $ 250,000 a month. "
And after that goes.
Is unique. Totally unique.
Probably I met Jack Abramoff ...
... At some point along with the College Republicans ...
... But there will not recognized on the street ...
Neil Volz ... until I presented it.
"It's a good guy," said Neil.
"A very powerful and is close to DeLay."
Never before has an individual ...
... Which has held firm to our principles ...
... Has risen as high as Tom DeLay.
Abramoff and DeLay share conservative principles ...
... Focusing on one simple goal:
Exterminate the rules and government regulations.
EL SANTO EXTERMINATOR
You know, when I started in this ...
... I was in control of food business.
Kill insects for a living.
It was a great experience for what ended up doing.
I was owner of a small business.
Smallest no business to kill insects.
When operating a small firm control of food near Houston, Texas ...
... DeLay was furious when the EPA forced him to stop using DDT.
From that moment, was determined to kill ...
... Any government rule or regulacin I could find.
Americans feel they have been bombarded ...
- ... With silly regulations ... - My first nickname was "Desreg."
I wanted to "deregulate" everything.
I liked the free market. It was a free market fanatic.
We are entering the silly little about regulations.
The Clean Air Act is a perfect example of that.
Well. We're cutting the paperwork burocrtico.
I would like to eliminate the Ministry of Educacin ...
... The Ministry of Energy, HUD ..
... The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
I'd like to seriously reduce the Environmental Protection Agency ...
... And other agencies such as OSHA.
The National Endowment for the Arts ... we have to delete them all.
DeLay was a "Desreg" full-time and off the job ...
... Addicted to parties, better known as "Hot Tub Tom" ...
... Be a man of 10 martinis a day.
I was a fool egocntrico. Everything revolved around my career.
Almost destroyed my family. Almost destroyed my marriage.
Drink too much, I complain too much.
In 1985, DeLay was reborn as he looked at James Dobson on TV.
If EE. UU. will survive ...
... Be because husbands and fathers Founder, Focus on the Family ...
... Begin to make their families more high-level meeting its priorities ...
... And reserve some of their time, effort and energy ...
... To exercise leadership within their own homes.
I embodied the failure of parents that Dr. Dobson is referrals.
And I began to mourn. NEDA EST PAP?
In the course of weeks, get to know Christ ...
... Accept it as my Savior, completely changed my life ...
... Completely changed my approach and put it in the right direction.
The crusade "Desreg" DeLay left for a new adventure ...
... Abolish all limits of recaudacin and expenditure of campaign funds.
Some people believe that there are only a limited amount of money ...
... That the campaigns can turn to politics.
I do not believe for one minute.
We spend more money on chips today ...
... That what we spend in elections.
If we support the free market in everything else ...
... Why there will be no one, above all ...
... To support free market principles in the election campaigns?
It occurred to me a new way to raise funds ...
... Totally legal, since we are all within the rules.
DeLay helped develop the use of comits of political action, or "PACs"
Large centralized funds ...
... With fewer restrictions to raise and spend money.
If DeLay sabacmo distribute the money ...
... Jack Abramoff knew how to collect it ...
... Particularly if pruning sell access to DeLay ...
... To its clients and other members.
Abramoff knew that access to DeLay ...
... It was important also to Bob Ney, Ney wanted since becoming ...
... Chairman of the committee of the chamber of deputies supervisor of elections.
Before 1994 ...
... The committee chairmen were very powerful representatives in Congress ...
... And often do not follow orders.
DeLay was the one who changed all that.
To start, the chairmen of the committees ...
... And not based solely on your antique.
Peaking at largely, if you were someone close to DeLay ...
... If what you hacas pedagogical and if you gave a lot of money.
The deputy changed its course ...
... Towards the recaudacin of money for the party ...
Recaudacin ... the money for other candidates ...
Because raising money to increase its hierarchy ...
... And prove that he was good for the party.
And, thus, may reach far SLAs.
Neil lights to indicate how I, one wants to stand out ...
... You want the chair of the committee ...
... And you need the support of Tom DeLay.
Attempt to circumvent the will and the rules of the Chamber.
That was the most important job for us.
It was ... We focus on that as a laser.
And, Mr. DeLay was the same, or those close to l. .. ms
Tony Rudy, Mike Scanlon ...
Mike Scanlon, Tony Rudy ...
We knew that these relations would be crucial.
I am Michael Scanlon, Press Secretary Mr. DeLay.
And he is Tony Rudy, our Chief Advisor.
These two employees of DeLay ...
... Relationships became key to Jack Abramoff.
Over time, contrataraa Rudy ...
... And become a member of Scanlon.
Jack also a close relationship developme ...
... With DeLay's chief of staff, Ed Buckham.
Even after having left DeLay's office ...
... Buckham had a special influence on DeLay ...
... Because he was the minister in charge of staff discipline.
Buckham, like Jack, was a deeply religious man.
Those who attended his church evanglica ...
... Decan one who had the gift of tongues to be Posed by the Holy Spirit.
Also, like Jack ...
Buckham tena ... appetite for the good life.
Jack introduced him to this lifestyle.
Ed fell in love with golf, travel.
This was a way to conquer pruning Jack Ed ..
... Who will become his trusted ...
... As NMAs cementing his relationship with DeLay.
Tom DeLay is who all of us want to be ...
... When we grow up.
Well said.
It was a celestial alliance ...
... The born-again Christian and Orthodox judo ...
... United by their belief in the free market ...
... And the power of money.
Jack's special genius was to find money ...
... In places where no one else had thought to look.
TREASURE ISLAND
Land in sight.
What was it that led to Jack Abramoff ...
... Yams of 80 deputies and officials ...
... A mysterious chain of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS (CNMI)
This U.S. territory appears to be a conservative paradise ...
... Close to the cheap asian labor ...
... And without being subject to many U.S. laws.
The Marianas Islands were an enchanted land ...
... To Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay ...
... A place where business and the free market ...
... May evolve without rules or regulations.
The Mariana Islands are the Galapagos Islands of free enterprise.
Before we invite the companies here ...
... Seem an Indian Reservation.
Depend entirely on the government ...
... Their society practically does not exist ...
... With high levels of alcoholism, high drug use ...
High divorce rate .... It was just a disaster.
And the people decided to bring free enterprise.
And it worked.
The solution of free enterprise ...
... Was to exploit some loopholes created for special jurdicas Marianas.
Pruned local businesses clothing factories install ...
... Importing foreign workers ...
... Pay less than MINIMUM wage ...
... And then ship the goods manufactured ...
... To the U.S.. UU. Continental ...
... With the label "Made in America."
It was a large gold mine.
If operated from Saipan ...
Bean ... no fees and pay workers pruning, then ...
... Dollars and coins as an hour.
EMPLOYMENT NON-US
More than 40,000 foreign workers ...
... Came to the commonwealth of Saipan ...
... Looking for opportunities.
Although the MINIMUM wage here ...
... Is less than the minimum of U.S. wages. States ....
... Remains an attractive payment ...
... For the people of the Philippines ...
... You may win a DLAR time ...
... Or the people of China who may earn less than that.
And so, properly administered ...
Situation ... it was a 100% profit.
The problem is that certain abuses Tenan very significant place.
As U.S. immigration laws ...
... Were not applicable to all ...
... As the labor and wage laws were not applicable MINIMUM all ...
... Hacan to start seeing a perfect storm ...
... For those who would exploit that.
They went to Bangladesh and we discussed the commonwealth ...
... And that can lead us to Saipan ...
... And we can make money ...
... A lot of money ... earn about $ 1,000 a month.
As they each paid $ 7,000.
- And you recruited by ... - $ 6,000.
$ 6,000.
Tenan workers end up with huge debts ...
... And these debts are then subtracted from their wages by the employer ...
... And got them to the recruiter.
So basically they were semi-slaves.
- These are your pay stubs. - S.
- But once you got money? - Do not get money.
- You say you do not get paid? - As is.
- And worked three months without pay? - S.
Stories emerged about seven workweeks das ...
... And 18-hour days.
The records were comrades who escaped ...
... Who huan because of rape or beatings by foremen.
Some women were chained to their sewing machines.
A pregnant workers were pressured to have abortions ...
... So you do not lose their jobs.
Passports were confiscated.
They came here believing they would do ...
... A real contribution will the income of his family.
S many of them found employment in factories ...
... But others found something very different.
And so was that some of them were ...
... In the position to work as waitresses ...
... Waitresses and dancers became ...
... And then the dancers were asked to participate in prostitucin.
And so it was all downhill for these youngsters.
One hour. One hour.
The exploitation went on for several years.
Everyone preferred to look the other way ...
... Due to the influence of the garment industry ...
... Has had through the years.
Groups of human rights defenders began to investigate.
Secretly talked with workers ...
... Hacindose entrepreneurs go through ...
... And factories filmed with hidden cameras.
His reports led to demands, working fine ...
... And an attempt by Congressman George Miller ...
Saipan ... to put under greater federal control.
There is a bill presented to the Chamber of Deputies ...
- ... To take control. - And what will make if that happens?
Close the factory.
Protecting the Saipan factories of the rules and government regulations.
This was a job for sper lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
When I was governor ...
... Someone introduced me to Jack Abramoff.
Jack Abramoff was smart ...
... Maybe too smart for his own good ...
... But the fact is that he realized that we needed help ...
... In Washington, DC
We hired Jack Abramoff ...
... To lobby against immigration law.
They thought that Jack Abramoff used to ...
... Was the best for direct connections tena ...
... With the office of majority leader, Tom DeLay.
And Tom DeLay ...
... Was someone who pruning influence sharee'ah for CNMI.
We were told that no one prune reach Tom DeLay ...
... Without going through Jack Abramoff. And cost us millions of dollars.
For his services ...
... Abramoff and his firm, Preston Gates ...
... Was charged to the Marianas more than $ 200,000 per month.
Part of the plan was to take guided tours to the Marianas Islands ...
... A conservative journalists and MPs friendly ...
... Like John Doolittle and Dana Rohrabacher.
We all take a look at some of the clothing factories ...
... That He had come here from various parts of the world ...
... To establish an operation there.
And am I thought it was working well.
What they did was to visit briefly in the clothing factories ...
... And out the front door of the factory, saying:
"Hey, nothing happens here.
We do not see ningn abuse.
As qu estn that mean? "
And what Hacan the rest of the time?
Rest and recreation.
Usually stayed at the Hyatt Regency hotel, five stars.
Haba at least five golf courses at the level of competition.
At one point, Jack should have realized ...
... That is like selling as the Marianas Islands ...
... You know, with their abominable labor practices ...
... Basically a semi-slavery ...
... Is a more up peldao slavery ...
... But you take people there, and it's beautiful ...
... Have golf courses, beautiful hotels.
They fell into the trap.
We have been here a week now ...
... And I think the first-hand information to help us ...
... And maybe enlighten those that have not been ...
... Pressing in the right direction.
During the day, bean sports and games.
And at night, cocktails ...
... Cockfighting and clubs.
That's totally ridiculous Mariana ...
... And find nothing Deputy ...
... That was like what have been described.
And to suggest that I support sexual slavery ...
... And the human traffic is ridiculous.
Member after member of Congress ...
... Was all, looked around and said:
"For me everything looks good."
And Jack Abramoff said, "And I can help them."
As a special farewell gift ...
... Jack arrangement that some of the members on the tour ...
... Receive contributions to their campaigns ...
... Often from the owners of the factories.
The grateful members acted as the marketing team Abramoff ...
... Promocionndolo to their customers.
Permtanme this point at them, and how Washington works.
S had had a non-voting delegate ...
Am ... and had come to me: "I want to go to Saipan" ...
... I probably would not have been.
Instead, you or who has been to hire Preston Gates ...
... Hire people who know me ...
... And the system worked sabacmo to represent their interests.
To fulfill its power ...
... And their connections to Washington, he told us:
"Wait. I'm going to bring in Tom DeLay." And he did.
Haba a sinnmero accusations.
I went there as guest of the government to see for myself.
I even went to see the principal defender of human rights on the island ...
... Can not remember his name, but he was a priest.
And he ped to show me a case of human rights abuse.
No bean none. Could not show a single case.
All the lies that the liberals ...
... And George Miller said on the Marianas Islands ...
Ah ... did not because I seek them.
Congressman Miller was the only ...
... I really wanted to meet with workers.
As he came here and sat in my conference room ...
... When I tena my private practices with our translator.
And suddenly, I see the corner of my eye that the interpreter begins to mourn.
And so, as he tears were rolling down his face, I said
"You have to tell us what he said.
If you mourn is doing, you obviously need decrselo the deputy. "
And she said he had him called Miller to tell the deputy ...
... As it was a powerful man, and a federal elected official ...
... If you please pruning one of his kidneys buy ...
As ... to get money to return to China.
"You can buy my wheel?"
And I say, "No. .. no."
And he says: "Well, you can arrange the sale of my wheel ...
... So I can pay my debt and go home? "
I mean, they were as of severely trapped.
DELAY COMES Signature Tan received the leader of the Chamber
While in Saipan, DeLay attended a party in your honor ...
... Hosted by Willie Tan ..
... The owner of the biggest clothing factory on the island.
I am very good friend of Tom DeLay.
And Tom said, "Willie, while we are in the command ...
... Podrn even see the light at the end of this tunnel. "
Willie Tan helps pay for travel of Members ...
... Arranges tours of the factories and sent hundreds of thousands of dollars ...
... To the founding DeLay's private ...
... And the campaigns of President Bush and other Republicans.
Jack Abramoff sought a way to frame the flow of money ...
... As a crusade for economic freedom.
To help spread the gospel ...
... Abramoff enlisted the services of his old friend,
Grover Norquist.
Thanks to Jack, the money from the clothing factories in Saipan ...
... Began to flow into the group of experts Norquist.
At the same time, Norquist began promoting the cause of the Mariana ...
... In his famous martials for Wednesdays ...
... For the GOP.
How are things in the Senate?
What we actually do to help?
Somehow, the Chinese factories ...
... In a U.S. territory in the Pacific ...
... Suddenly became a matter of free market.
And then when someone says
"Well, I always thought those sites in the Mariana ...
... Were China's maquiladoras, "they reply," No ".
And not only disagreed with you, but they destroy you.
Money is not a bad thing.
Money is freedom of expression. Money is intervention.
And while it remains open and transparent ...
... So that voters can see who is giving the money ...
... Est quin ycmo getting the money they spend ...
... Is a system that is extremely necessary.
Hello?
S. I'm on my way.
They saw a flourishing economy ...
... Saw a free market system ...
... What Tom DeLay said it was a test tube for pure capitalism.
But never met these women.
Never listened to their stories. Never saw mourn.
Never saw the shame in their faces and the humiliation they represent.
So we went back trying to say ...
... As a minimum, we think that Congress will change ...
... MINIMUM wage law ...
... And change the immigration law to protect these people ...
... But that does not occur in the Chamber of Deputies.
S, there was a problem five years ago.
But now we are forcing these employers to fulfill their contracts.
Each independent group that has considered this ...
... Has concluded that it is exactly the opposite ...
... Of what he is going on in the Northern Marianas.
What happened? Well, now s what happened.
Do not fully understand at that time what was happening.
It turns out that the leader of the majority in the Chamber ...
... Tom DeLay, ran a business PROTECTION ...
... To keep these people do business ...
... And his friend Jack Abramoff was their lobbyist.
I worked through Jack Abramoff with the government of the Marianas.
And he returned to put a stop to the George Millers of this world.
It's very simple.
If ESTs as a leader, you can lift the phone ...
... And call the chairman of the committee and say
"This bill will not leave the committee."
As I said to Tom: "Olvdalo, Willie. There is no chance."
And you know what he did? Call the guy in charge of the committee est ...
... Named Don Young of Alaska.
- S, s fifth is. - And he said: "Don ...
There is nothing wrong in CNMI.
I say you have to go all ".
Rep. Don Young s trip to the Marianas.
The protesters confronted ...
... But Young remained impassive.
DeLay helps to block reforms.
His reward? Thousands of dollars in campaign money ...
... And recaudacin of funds from Abramoff.
CNMI VE PANEL OF YOUNG HOPES
The Marianas were a machine to make money for Abramoff and DeLay.
Then suddenly, without warning ...
... His favorite governor lost his company to reeleccin.
The new governor cancel the contract as such as Jack.
CANCELLED
PLAYING AS Buckham
Faced with the end of the road in the Mariana ...
... Abramoff sought advice to the Minister personal ...
... And former DeLay chief of staff, Ed Buckham.
Buckham tena a reason to come to the rescue.
Thanks to Jack, Willie Tan Bean helped fund ...
... The new Buckham's lobbying firm ...
... Alexander Group strategic purposes.
Buckham then went to work ...
... With DeLay press secretary Michael Scanlon ...
... To arrange a local choice to ensure that Jack ...
... The return of your contract.
Buckham and Scanlon needed two men to change their votes.
His first target was Alejo Mendiola, Rota Island.
Ed Buckham and Michael Scanlon ...
... Came here to Saipan ...
... And I brought them to Rota as a representative.
And brought to the airport.
Mendiola wanted $ 1.25 million for improvements at the airport.
The vot for the candidate of Jack and the money appeared.
There follows, as part of a research trip ...
... Was the turn of Michael Scanlon to turn a vote ...
... Offering more money from taxpayers ...
... Courtesy of Case Of DeLay.
DeLay Case Of sabacmo handle ...
... What Jack calls "the factory of favors."
It is a committee where members or collaborators SPECIFIC ...
... Have an incredible amount of influence ...
... And ability to spend a lot SPECIFIC SPECIFIC locations.
$ 150,000 dollars from the factory for favors ...
... Appeared suddenly to finance a study ...
... Whether this bean is not to repair the breakwater.
In gratitude, a politician local ...
... Norm Parker, vot for the man in Jack.
There is more than politics to m.
One only hopes it is not illegal.
We do not s.
S. But I think it is illegal.
Money performs its magic.
Jack's friend, Ben Fitial was elected President of the Chamber.
And Jack received his contract again.
There were two senators who switched their votes ...
... For projects in the islands.
Got something to change their votes?
Not s.
- But were you involved? - I never say anything.
Gave some Tom DeLay's office?
Not s. ..
... Nor shall know.
You may not?
Fitial had him singing the "happy birthday" to Tom DeLay ...
... In the office of disciplinary officer of the base.
Firm an email to Ed Buckham as "your adopted brother, Ben."
Fitial also ensures that Buckham ...
... Obtain a contract for energy in the Mariana ...
... For a special client of DeLay's district ...
Enron.
The unifying factor? Jack Abramoff.
Let me tell you about Jack Abramoff.
What he has done after he left the Northern Mariana ...
... I can not approve it, okay?
I mean, obviously did something wrong because he was convicted.
And, according to understand, est now in jail.
But Let me tell you ...
... Mr. Abramoff did what we hired him to do.
No l. ..
... This commonwealth will not be what it is today.
Today the garment industry has practically abandoned Saipan.
The new international trade agreements ...
... Have eliminated the gap jurdica of the Marianas.
The owners of the factories are gone ...
... In search of cheaper labor than their money can buy ...
ATRS leaving environmental disaster ... ...
... Uprooted immigrants ...
... And a white slave prspera.
As capitalism is when you let it loose.
That's why we have a regulatory status ...
... And when you remove those regulations ...
... As they claim to lobbyists like Abramoff ...
... Which are the Marianas.
OUTPUT
The betting game indgena is highly political.
It's an industry worth $ 18 billion.
As in the Mariana ...
Indian business ... Jack built ...
... Around a lagoon jurdica:
A 1988 law granting the right to have casinos on tribal property.
Tribes successful as ours must have the help ...
... Skilled and honest professionals who understand ...
... The business and politics of the game by betting indgena.
To protect their profits on bets ...
... Tribes turned to the man who convinced the bean ...
... That had a lot of influential people in his pocket.
I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear ...
... To run the office ...
... President of the United States faithfully ...
... With the help of God.
Congratulations, Mr. President.
Jack bean muchsimo raised money for Bush ...
... And convinced his tribal clients to contribute no money ...
... His chief rival politicians, John McCain.
In 2001, Abramoff asked to bring ...
... Your practice to the same lobbying firm ...
... Bush Bean hired to win the battle of the count in Florida:
Greenberg Traurig. BUFETE
Clearly, l tena great exercise:
Five or six million dollars ...
the Marianas, the Choctaw of Mississippian ...
... I think the Coushatta of Louisiana.
I was making a great effort by the Saginaw Chippewa.
How can I help this tribe?
Any fee you pay us back multiplied.
Last year, I think that the fees of the Choctaw were, I think ...
... As $ 3.5 million lobbying payments ...
and then he came back they were $ 120 million dollars ...
... In direct or indirect federal aid, scholarships, etc ...
Suddenly, Jack was a popular man in Indian country.
And also it was Grover Norquist.
The Indians were provided with a cover politics ...
... Defining the casinos as enterprise zones.
In return, Jack makes sure that the tribes ...
... Donate money to the committee of experts from Grover.
I would like to work directly with the Indian nations.
There comits working state ...
... Demonstrating why should not increase taxes.
Ralph Reed also wanted a part of it.
Withdraw their money from the Christian Coalition ...
... And staked his reputation on a new adventure to make money.
I will form a new company called Century Strategies.
"Century Strategies" ...
... A consulting firm with a powerful grassroots network ...
... Jug an important role in the business ...
... Of Indian casinos Jack ...
... Working with a tribe ...
... To close the other gaming operations.
The Louisiana Coushatta were one of their major clients.
This is a small tribe of several hundred people ...
... Having a very successful casino that generates $ 300 million a year.
And protective of their territory. Former Journalist
The Coushatta hired Jack MUCH MONEY
to prevent another tribe, the Jena Band ...
... Operacin open their own casinos.
Worldwide SOAD, they disappear. They are not enemies.
You are left with their customers, instead of them having their own.
In our view, always go after the dream.
If pudira shake a magic wand ...
... And get what Quisiro, what is it we want?
The plan that we suggest to ...
and, in fact, we delight to work with you ..
and had great success when working with religious conservatives.
Return to work with them ...
... And we will concentrate on the real enemy.
United States is experiencing a moral crisis ...
... And needs to address what we believe is ...
... One of the great cancer that grows ...
... In the U.S. OLITICAL body ...
... And this is the epidemic of legalized gambling, which now ...
And this is a man who claims to be against the game ...
... And yet it receives payments from these tribal casinos ...
... To close other casinos ...
... Not because I want to close casinos ...
Estn ... but because he paid incredibly well for it.
But Reed will look bad to receive money from the casinos ...
... So Jack diverted part of the gambling money to travs Grover.
And Grover grabbed his commission.
The company Century Strategies receive as Reed
nearly $ 6 billion Indian gambling money.
And he was paid to another organization travs ...
... With one or two entities in between, lobbyist, consultant Carlyle ...
... That Ralph could claim ignorance.
Ralph Reed Abramoff made ...
... Not only oposicin PUBLIC ride this plan ...
... But to pressure members of Congress ...
... Who in turn pressured the Ministry of Interior ...
... To prevent the Jena tribe opened a casino.
For us it was very interesting indgena territory ...
... When he came a letter signed by many members ...
... Interior Ministry saying:
"Please stop jena what the band tries to achieve."
The majority of the deputies who signed the letter oponindose the Jena casino ...
... Received campaign money from casinos ... competitors.
JACKPOT JACKPOT JACKPOT
In the end, jena lost. The jena did not get their casino.
And Abramoff gan and defended the interests of their clients, the Coushatta.
Jack tribal money us by customers indgenas ...
... As a power to send more than $ 5 million ...
... POLICIES causes and candidates, mostly Republicans.
Some of the major recipients were Bob Ney,
Tom DeLay, John Doolittle ...
JD Hayworth.
Patrick Kennedy
Conrad Burns.
Jack Abramoff had a lot of ability to convince ...
... Many tribes indgenas or companies ...
... Donate all money ...
... Political parties and candidates as you like.
Y s, Jack Abramoff was a great machine to make money ...
... A major money-making machines in the city.
THE MONEY MAKING MACHINES
Wherever we were, if he mentioned the name Jack Abramoff ...
... All quin Saban era.
The taxi driver who took ...
... Mention to Jack Abramoff ycmo was a man.
He is a man with much power and connections, especially on the right.
Often receives calls and deca:
"Tom DeLay is," Is Karl Rove "...
... Or something like that.
Who was, you know, important ... the White House.
U.S. President. UU.
I remember being at a dinner where Neil Volz was sat at my table ...
... Seal or he said: "Jack be in the pavilion ...
... With the President tonight "at a Republican gala.
And when Jack Abramoff was mir ... all up.
It gave the feeling that pruning do what I want ...
... Because all the right people is at its pocket.
Abramoff look like this awesome figure ...
... Not only as a lobbyist, but as a restaurant owner.
Jack tena a motto for his restaurant:
"Serving in a conservative liberal."
If you were a Republican ...
... "Signatures" was the fashionable place any night of the week.
And trouble getting a drink there.
You should move to Bush aides.
Creme, everyone was at the bar ...
... Taking the best.
And where would Neil Volz and his friends.
In "Signatures" can enter, and they treated us like royalty.
And it was very, "Hello, Mr. Volz" this or that ...
Free drinks, free food to pass pruning your friends.
I saw Jack at lunch ...
Blackberries ... two ... one in each hand ...
... And your computer with Internet inalmbrica.
HACA it all from a table in a corner of the restaurant.
And obviously is their restaurant ...
... So you have to ...
across Rome to reach the Coliseum ...
... And he is Csar.
Abramoff it also had four luxury suites in a stadium ...
Tena ... and an assistant ...
... Whose main job ...
... Was to provide tickets for these luxury suites ...
... Who were members of Congress and their aides.
Such a huge suite at FedEx Field ...
... Right in the middle of the stadium, was dazzling.
Jack had all the tools in the toolbox of lobbying.
l won the role of lobbyist.
When it rains the millions in Greenberg Traurig ...
... The firm Abramoff gave extraordinary freedom ...
... Folded many of its rules and made special concessions ...
... For Jack's unique relationship with a former aide to Tom DeLay,
Mike Scanlon.
Dej Scanlon, DeLay's office ...
... And immediately saw him as someone ...
... Very close to Jack.
They were always planning, always were plotting.
In a way, were like a version of "The Producers" on K Street
"A few weeks ago I mentioned something.
I tom the concept ...
... And devise a plan to generate money. "
GIVE ME FIVE
"I love how you talk, bitch cretin.
As soon as you grip on the court ...
... Llorars as a child. "
"We'll see, puto."
"By the way, you're all a stallion in this effort.
Quiz have a situation of give me five. "
"Thank you. The organizing super step give me five."
Abramoff and Scanlon devised his plan to "give me five"
in a racquetball court.
This was a bribery scheme ...
... Where tribes indgenas Jack hired by high fees.
But Jack also said:
"If you really want to be effective in Washington ...
... Need basic skills ...
... And the man who can give them those skills base ...
... Is my old friend, Michael Scanlon. "
The majority of the money went to Scanlon's firm.
Without the tribes' knowledge ...
... About half of that money went back to Jack Abramoff.
"Remember, we promised during dinner with the boss ...
Haramos ... that the most powerful in the state.
More money. Give me five. "
"We increased the $ 2.1 million to $ 5.
We need a real gimme five. "
It seems that Mr. Abramoff and Scanlon convinced the tribes to pay ...
... Grossly inflated fees to the companies of Mr. Scanlon.
In the end, both men were individually ...
... At least $ 21 million in revenue.
In Washington ...
... The huge fees to lobbyists Jack enraged rivals ...
... Which began to leak information ...
... Sue Schmidt, the Washington Post. "
Call me a well-known Washington lobbyist, a Republican.
He said: "You have to investigate Jack Abramoff.
Represents these tribes indgenas ...
... And charged millions of dollars ...
... And working with this young man, Mike Scanlon ...
... I went out Staff of Tom DeLay.
And Scanlon est ... you know ...
... Experience as a sultn. "
A seller irresistible
Scanlon became the man Jack ...
... Campaigns to sell policies of the tribes indgenas base.
What we have is a database of latest generation ...
... A database base politics.
Say, for example ...
... We had a problem with a particular senator.
Say you want to make sure someone does not win.
May not have enough to get our candidate ...
... Secured enough votes to win ...
... But we can certainly prevent someone elected.
Policy of Scanlon's work paid off.
Only a couple of years after leaving DeLay's office,
Scanlon flying private planes ...
... Europeans were dressed in costume as ...
Adquirams ... and $ 20 million in real estate ...
... Including a large residence in Rehoboth Beach ...
... That belonged to the Dupont bean.
This beach town also was the site of the greatest invention of Scanlon:
A committee of experts called AIC
DGamer how all this started, Mr. Grosh.
You was a friend of Mr. Scanlon or?
S, I know Mr. Scanlon ...
go ... since he was 14 years.
And I understand that background ...
... Are very honorable, as a lifeguard.
- Right? - Among other things.
THE COMPANY OF LIFELINE
Scanlon, something that surprised ...
... Tena muchsimo money working with Abramoff ...
... But still ...
Even during the scandal ...
... In the summer of 2004 ...
Continue working in Rehoboth Beach lifeguards.
He loved being a lifeguard.
His full name is Michael Patrick Scanlon Shawn
Or Michael PS Scanlon,
"PS" means "pure sexy."
Scanlon, ready to go?
All you, man.
Mr. Grosh, you were appointed director of the AIC
And what happened? l sb faced him so?
- By phone. - And you say?
"You want to be at the forefront of international Corporacion?"
And I re.
And I said, "Okay ...
... What is needed? What I have to do? "
And answered: "Basically, nothing."
As I said, "Well, sure." And so was the beginning.
Was surprised when all this ...
began to uncover information that you was director ...
... An internationally respected expert committee?
I'm not qualified to run a refrigerator ...
... Let alone a committee of international experts.
"Based in sunny Rehoboth Beach, Delaware ...
... AIC staff used technology of XXI century
ydcadas of experience ...
... To make the world a more small.
American International Center, AIC
is a researcher Foundation POLICIES public "...
"That was launched in early 2001.
The website of American International ...
... Describe the mission with great terms:
'Est AIC determined to influence ...
... Global paradigms in an increasingly more complex.
In summary, the AIC rene to great minds from around the world '. "
What I can say "I feel flattered.
AIC HACA Qu?
The whole time I was involved ...
... Rented the first floor of a house ...
... And install a computer.
His office was ...
... In the lower floor of the house where I live.
Something does not seem very good about it.
When I discovered, first ...
... Involving the game and indgenas ...
... All the same I knew that something will cause problems.
Open an account for Make all checks payable to:
American International Center. American International Center
And the figure ... I do not ...
S it was a six-figure amount, not very high, and that ...
I never had seen a check in my life as ...
... So that ... really scared me.
Of where is this money?
Y. ..
... In such quantity.
Part of the money came from casinos indgenas ...
... And Ralph Reed would ...
... To hide the fact that the punters will pay.
Other money came from other countries ...
... And went to Abramoff's firm, Greenberg Traurig.
There were signals, it seems, at first, that bean problems.
And one of the first things was when I enter
habamos added that a new customer ...
... It was this committee of experts ...
... I was in the East Coast ...
... Which was directed by a lifeguard.
At that time, I knew.
And then suddenly I realized ...
... That was not the customer.
The client was in fact ...
... The government of Malaysia.
Tratbamos to hide something? Certainly think so.
Today the Jews rule the world by proxy.
They get others to fight Prime Minister of Malaysia ...
... And die for them.
The Malaysian government tena an image problem.
The Malaysians were very interested in hiring.
The ambassador was a friend of mine and asked me ideas.
He said they were talking to some companies ...
... And I told him Jack. Costume Ambassador Greenberg Traurig.
We had many meetings. And eventually ...
... That became a contract with Malaysia ...
... To be represented by Greenberg Traurig, and Jack.
By law, we assume that Jack and Greenberg Traurig ...
... To register as lobbyists for a foreign government ...
... But Jack find a way to avoid it.
Malaysians sent money home to AIC in Rehoboth.
Dave Grosh then sent the money to Greenberg Traurig.
The PURPOSE? Getting a meeting with President Bush.
The ambassador then one question:
"Widespread get the invitation to the Prime Minister?"
And I respond: "Well djem ask Jack."
And Jack responds: "We worked on it."
Jack worked on it Through his former secretary, Susan Ralston ...
... That became a special assistant to the President under Karl Rove.
Susan worked for Jack for over two years ...
... And so, when he came to the White House ...
... Of course it was a great help.
On one occasion, was sitting with Jack ...
... And he received a call.
He said: "It's Karl.'s Karl Rove."
And he said a few words.
I hung up and said:
"Call the ambassador, got the invitation."
I'm pretty sure that this visit will be very fructfera. Thanks.
I too. Thanks.
The signing of Jack received $ 1 million from Malaysia ...
... Be delivered to the President of the United States.
Jack delivers hundreds of thousands of dollars ...
... Campaign cash to the President.
That made him a welcome visitor at the White House ...
... As confirmed these photocopies written ...
... Delivered by the Bush administration ...
... By court order.
PREPARE AVIN, CAIRO
"Prepare the plane, honey, we're going to El Paso."
"Prepare the plane, honey, we're going to El Paso."
That refers to quiz ...
... The campaamscnica involving the tribes involved.
Jack gave him a code name to the intrigue:
"Operacin Open."
l planned to sell its services to a tribe of Texas ...
... Whose casino had just closed.
DEJA TIGUAN CASINO PROFITS TO 450 EMPLOYEES
Soon afterwards to close the casino ...
... Jack Abramoff and Mike Scanlon appeared.
It was as if we were ledo mind.
Saban ycmo do exactly what to do.
Lieutenant Governor Carlos Hisa was freshly selected ...
... Of the Tigua tribe of El Paso, Texas.
He was the man designated to work with Jack Abramoff ...
... To try to reopen the casino of the tribe's Speaking Rock ...
... That Bean was closed by a state campaign antijuego.
Before its closure ...
... The bean casino generated $ 60 million a year in revenue ...
... That Habanos helped lift the tribe out of poverty.
Everyone has an nterpretation ...
... We receive this money and we are rich ...
... But the money we receive from the game ...
... Is only to provide Basic Services for our people ...
with respect to housing, educacin ...
... And PUBLIC HEALTH.
The plight of the Tigua,
Abramoff saw an opportunity ...
a new client indgena desperate need for help with politics.
In a term of three months paid $ 4.2 million?
- S. - did not seem
ridiculously exorbitant?
No. We explained that the money needed to be paid ...
... So that our efforts could continue y. ..
it was my first year as lieutenant governor.
Tena no idea of how everything worked in Washington ...
... And Abramoff, as the expert ...
... Said: "As is done all the time.
As things are done in Washington. "
What the Tigua did not know was that Jack Abramoff ...
... Bean bean was the one who helped to close in the first place.
Indgena paid for the game in Louisiana ...
... To close the casino of another tribe in Houston
Jack and Ralph Reed deceived religious groups ...
... To mount an attack antijuego media throughout Texas.
Game lobbyists in Austin trying to legalize ...
I call on behalf of Citizens Against Game.
The Tigua were c llateral damages.
The amount of bean oposicin that religious groups ...
... The Christian Coalition and others who tried to shut us down ...
... It was huge.
And they were successful.
I deeply resent the accusation that closing the Tigua casino.
I do not cerr ms, frankly ...
... Anyone else involved in the effort in Texas to achieve it ...
... Including the governor and attorney general.
When Attorney General John Cornyn order closing the Tigua casino ...
... Abramoff sent him a campaign contribution will of "well done".
Texas Dej it clear tonight that we need a new administration ...
... In the U.S. Senate. UU.
Although Jack and Ralph Reed supporters ...
... Closing the Tigua casino in the hands of Cornyn
Jack told the tribe that indignant.
To correct a wrong, Jack pruning not support taking money for s. ..
Scanlon ... but will have to pay.
Using the scam of "give me five"
Scanlon secretly shall be shared nearly $ 4 million with Jack.
In a term of three years, Abramoff and Scanlon ...
Haban ... they billed the tribes $ 82 million.
Several dissident members began asking questions ...
... About anger adnde money.
In Indian Territory, I have seen many swindlers in history.
Tenan few of them so skillfully as Mr. Abramoff and Scanlon.
These DC were hired lobbyists ...
... And very soon came the theft of tribal treasure.
For when completed in 2004 ...
... The bean tribe spent about $ 36 million.
INDIAN FIGHTS
David Sickey est in the Coushatta tribal council of Louisiana.
By monitoring the operations of a casino of $ 300 million
Sickey came to power as a result of its investigation ...
... Of the tribe's dealings with Jack Abramoff.
In reviewing secret documents tribal
Sickey discovered that Abramoff ...
... Bean convinced the tribe to spend nearly $ 35 million ...
... Lobbying and payments to politicians.
Saban them half that I was sniffing ...
he drew secret documents and copies ...
Invoicing, records, canceled checks ...
... Anything having to do with Jack.
To try to understand what happens,
Sickey began to share information ...
... With dissident members of other tribes ...
... And a lobbyist indgena,
Tom Rodgers.
And proceeded to exchange information ...
... For example, Bernie Sprague with the Saginaw Chippewa ...
... Told me that checks sent a. ..
... 611 Pennsylvania Ave.
And l think that was a huge office building.
I said, "Bernie, packaging million dollars to a store."
Tom a picture and sent it.
And the same with David.
They sent me all your bills.
"Enven all funds." Enven $ 1.8 million. "
Here is a perfect example ...
... Of invoices sent to the tribe.
It's a $ 3 million ...
... For "professional services", whatever.
When the dissidents began to understand what happens ...
... They began to leak information to a local journalist.
That made me feel good ...
... Because only field I am a journalist here in Louisiana.
And I try to compete with journalists from city ...
... I really have great sources.
It is very rare to get any internal documents of the tribe ...
... And much more than the leaders tribal ...
... Deliver these documents voluntarily.
Haba Democrat checks, purchase orders Coushatta
but most of the money went to fund important Republicans ...
... With mysterious names:
"Committee for the preservation of the Capitalism ...
... "EE Fund. UU. Free Market"
"CREA" ...
... And Tom DeLay funds ... "ARMPAC" and "TRMPAC."
What possible influence may have the Coushatta of Louisiana ...
... By sending money to people in states like Wyoming ...
... Such as Nevada and places?
Culture may be the possible connection?
Then the connection was always Jack Abramoff.
Jack ordered, and the checks are sent.

Raise your right hand and repeat AFTER m:
"I do solemnly swear that the testimony you give today ...

... The Commission indgenas Senate affairs.
But the audience did comisinslo ...
... A small fraction of those emails ...
... Avoiding politicians involving the Republicans ...
... And regodendose, however, salacious examples Abramoff team.
I want to ask about some of their emails.
On 9 July 2002
You sent an email to Mr. Scanlon ...

Ms I have no choice but to take me to my constitutional privileges ...
... From having to testify.
I hope that at some point soon ...
... You can do in order to present all the facts.
Jack Abramoff loved the email.
If everyone in the U.S.. UU. should learn something about Jack Abramoff ...
... Is "not put all this in writing."
Coushatta voters approve ...
"Estn ready to extract more, and we have to see how.
We can meet tomorrow? "
"Coushatta be facilsimo.
Your part is at least $ 800 thousand. "
"How I can say this with enough exuberance?
You are the best. "
Could not believe ...
... To speak of this email.
I can not believe something as exchanging emails.
Posted by Da / Sandia Council use the excuse of Scanlon because ...
... "They are stingy bastards who will not pay our fees.
I say die and we're going to get you ...
... A different tribe that appreciates hard work. "
It is page after page after page.
His mouth dropped open. Do not believe pruning.
A: Abramoff Topic: Sandia
"2.75 are coins.
In what pensbamos hell? "
Depending on their emails, you and Mr. Scanlon ...
... You refer to tribes as "imbciles" ...
... "Estupidiotas", "monkeys" ...
... "Damn troglodytes" ... what you defined ...
... As a lower form of existence, and losers.
"I hate those fucking ingrates.
I told the Cherokee to meet the money ...
... Or get ready for another trail of tears. "
"When the upcoming shipment, another 350 ...
... But that's not all. There will be more when it's all over. "
You dicindole replied: "I want all their money."
The money of who is referred to?
Senator, on the advice of my attorney, Indgenas Affairs Commission ...
... I must decline to answer that question based on the Fifth Amendment.
"Hopefully these gross Tigua were more intelligent ...
... Contributions in politics.
I would love to get your hands on that money. "
"Oh, well, the stupid are eliminated."
"The stupid are eliminated" ...
That means that we were stupid to contribute ...
... The Democrats and not Republicans ...
... And that's why our casino doors closed.
There are a stack of potential opportunities.
There are 27 tribes ...
... Who earn more than $ 100 million a year.
He was interested to help poor tribes ...
... Oslo to the rich?
Lord, today I may also be hundreds or thousands of questions, I guess ...
... But for every one I respectfully invoke ...
... The privileges mentioned earlier.

For 400 years, people have been cheating Indians in this country ...
... So you are not the first, Mr. Scanlon.
Slo is a shame that in this enlightened age
You will have added a new dimension ...
... A shameful legacy of what the indgenas pas les U.S.. UU.
You are the problem, buddy.
It was a good scene, but lacked some key dialog.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell bean accepted more than $ 20,000 in checks ...

With an eye on his presidential campaign ...

The second went to Las Vegas ...

The last king was to SunCruz ...
... Where all new betting action was perfect.
SunCruz Casinos New Ways to Win
Was SunCruz fleet of gambling boats ...
... That interested Jack as a way to invest ...
... All that he had learned the game indgena.
SunCruz was one of many ideas.
Jack wanted to create a platform.
And then, travs Jack's contacts around the world ...
... Also we were to extend the side of the game ...

I feel I have to do this pellet with the wife.
Come muvanse. Muvanse, muvanse.
This is good. It's really good. I hibernate for eight months.
Telephone mattresses-for-all They're always
The opportunity arrived for Kidan and Abramoff ...
... When the U.S. government forces the Greek owner of SunCruz ...
... To sell its fleet not a U.S. citizen.
The SunCruz casino owner Gus Boulis ...
... Has struggled lately, ...
... But Boulis is a shrewd businessman ...
... Who is not known to give up.
Someone should challenge the business?
There is nothing to question.
We ... have ... It's going very well.
Almost too good to be true.
They had trouble dealing with Gus Boulis ...
... Even before it closed the deal.
l wanted to be a consultant Former Journalist ...
... And incorporated all these demands of the treatment last moment.
Scanlon then, by then working for Abramoff ...
... Resorted to Bob Ney and made Bob Ney ...
... Include something in the congressional record ...
... Where basically denounced Gus Boulis.
When Neil Volz brought me ...
... Consideration. I said, "What is this?"
He said, "It came from Mike Scanlon."
Neil asked: Deputy
"Cul is my ... my connection with this?"
Tena not necessarily much to do with our congressional district ...
... But esperbamos reach Tom DeLay ...
... To travs of certain people close to l that are lobbyists ...
... To help them with their private interests.
And it was one of the first moments ...
... Where you really feel that feeling in your stomach ...
... As saying: "It s okay?"
And get on with it.
Then a congressman from Ohio complaint ...
... A floating casino owner in Florida ...
... By the way of anything, you know.
Neil am ms later he came back and said:
"Gus Boulis call our office absolutely furious."
The sea of fright.
Indeed it did. I really feel bad.
And I made the deal go ahead.
When they tried to close the deal ...
... There was a very protracted negotiation with the bankers.
And amid all this,
Kidan and Abramoff have this banker ...
... To Abramoff's private suite at FedEx Field ...
... For the Redskins game.
And that night he tena to Tom DeLay in the suite.
DeLay was there and the bankers knew DeLay.
And I think obviously they were very impressed ...
... And the deal is closed.
Are arranged to buy it for $ 147 million ...
... And do not put the money into it msmnimo.
In fact, they made a transfer of $ 23 million ...
... He presented to the bank ...
forged documents ...
... Showing that Habanos invested $ 23 million in the deal.
Went to Kinko's and created ...
... A false transfer ...
... Scanning a real transfer then modified.
- What said you? - I think I said:
"It looks pretty good."
A m I feel real.
The deal took place.
Adam Kidan and Jack Abramoff Tenan now a business of floating casinos.
Neil Volz am then went back a second time ...
... And said that ...
Gus ... Gus Boulis bean out of this business.
And we put a second request for congressional record.
he asked me to do it and I did. The Gaming Industry
The second deca: "There is need for research.
Now you are in the hands of a great citizen "... that was me.
The reference was also very ridiculous ...
... Because he spoke of the honorable man who was Adam Kidan.
Adam Kidan will be prohibited from exercising the abogaca Haban ...
... In New York for fraud.
As that he was not the kind of honorable person ...
... That Ney was postulated.
While he makes these statements ...
... In the congressional record, he received campaign contributions ...
... Adam Kidan, Jack Abramoff and Abramoff's wife, Pamela.
Neil said there will be $ 1,000
$ 2,000, $ 3,000? No.
Receive contributions? S.
Look, if I can make happy Scanlon ...
... And he 's close to DeLay, at some point in the future ...
... Call Mike Scanlon and say:
"You know, I am running for this ...
... I am running for that. We have the support of DeLay? "Of course s.
Haban given us a check ... I think it was $ 10,000 ...
for the Republican campaign committee of Congress.
And we gave it to Ney ...
... To receive points for that.
Simply coincided ...
Seriously ... by coincidence ...
... That it gives the second ...
I left the second congressional record. That was quid pro quo?
I guess as you can llamrselo.
Meanwhile, Gus Boulis refused to accept the new owners.
I'm very proud of the good employees.
Gus does not want to leave ...
... And still appear on the boats as their own.
Habamos tried to mediate these issues.
Once we had a meeting at the office ...
... And said, "Listen, if we can not solve this ... demndame."
And his answer was: "Do not sue, kill you."
Salt across the desk ...
... Tom a pen and began to apualarme with it.
In December, the new owner of SunCruz casinos ...
... Restriction sac an order against Boulis ...
... After this one allegedly attacked him, apualndolo with a pen.
The Restriction of Kidan order result being irrelevant ...
... When Boulis was killed in an assassination-style mafia.
Boulis was murdered in Fort Lauderdale ...
... About the same time he sold his empire of SunCruz Casinos.
Abramoff and Kidan were indicted by the SunCruz casino deal.
For a long time, the police wanted to question the do ...
Tenan ... to see if any information about the murder.
They arrested several people in the case ...
... Including Anthony Moscatiello ...
the counter of the Gambino family ...
... That Bean was istered by Adam Kidan as a consultant for banquets.
As testify and cooperate actively in the case Moscatiello ...
... I will not go into much detail, but it s dir:
I am related to the mafia? No.
Conocaa people for association to raise me in the neighborhood? S.
But Jack's father always boasting of having links with the mafia ...
Jack Bean boasted of it because the connection to Atlantic City.
That surprised us on the SunCruz deal ...
what was so incredible ...
... Was that had these elements of organized crime ...
... In such close proximity to Tom DeLay.
It was not only the mafia.
Abramoff and DeLay sent Buckham Russia ...
... On a trip paid for by a mysterious pair of oil executives ...
... Called Alexander Koulakovsky and Marina Nevskaya.
With connections to intelligence operatives ...
... They traveled by limousine with bulletproof glass ...
... And guards armed with machine guns.
Abramoff ended up getting to the point ...
... Working for a Russian company. Director, Institute of World Politics
It is a very dubious company of which an there is not enough ...
do not know much about it.
But SA is the Russian company that delivered the cash Millan ...
... To Dulles Airport travs ...
... To the founding of DeLay's chief of staff ...
... Just outside the Capitol.
Everything was directed from Russia ...
... To a company travs front in Nassau.
Abramoff also uses the Russian military connections ...
... To explore planet gear used to search for petroleum in Israel ...
... And find with night vision and camouflage ...
... Sniper schools in the West Bank.
The money came from casinos indgenas ...
... Spasm Russians ...
... Owners of maquiladoras Chinese and Malaysian politicians.
I think probably it was one of the ways in which l understand ...
... What HACA as a lobbyist. Author
It's very similar to what law in these novels spasm.
But think about what the spasm.
In the real world, what does the CIA?
The main thing is manipulate the opininpblica.
In many ways, what HACA l ...
... Was very similar to an operation in the style of the CIA.
OPEN OPERACIN
All est. Hello, Neil.
- Hello. - What are you doing?
In 2002, Neil Volz accepted an offer from Jack Abramoff ...
... To leave the Congress and join Jack Greenberg Traurig.
What do you think you're going to draw more?
S. .. not being in the middle of everything.
I think being outside looking in some of the important issues.
Ajvenes recruit very bright indeed ...
Scanlon, Neil Volz ms that were later ... Capitol ...
... Where Haban been in leadership positions with people ...
... That takes real decisions on the Republican side of Congress.
And how does it feel? Been to Rep. Ney ...

If I am a contributor to the camera and make $ 50,000 a year ...
... And after two years I can go to work to a firm of lobbyists ...
... And triple my salary as base salary ...
... Imagine the opportunity that is created.
- You look very powerful there. - Okay.
There is an attraction for the job ...
... After leaving the Capitol.
And they see people doing it.
I had seen friends ...
... As Tony Rudy, Mike Scanlon ...
... Go to work for Jack Abramoff ...
... And see how this operation was assembled, s?
And Jack was on his way to be really great to be on top.
Neil changing the original Neil wanted to be press secretary ...
... The man who wanted to be part of the family Abramoff.
It was unusual to lose a partner?
I've had employees coming and going ...
... Like a revolving door.
I am the classic example of the revolving door.
The revolving door between government and K Street ..
... Is an essential part of the game in Washington.
There is a law that is not allowed to lobby the previous chief.
And I walked carefully to the prohibition of a year ...
... And then directly to the viol.
Jack Neil put to work lobbying his old boss ...
... In the "Open Operacin."
Function.
Ney agreed to help reopen the Tigua casino.
Jack told the tribe to send $ 32,000
Ney policy of the fund and sent him a note to Scanlon.
"I just met with Ney.
We p-mind well. Tigua Arrange. "
What representation made of the influence special ...
... One who had to Rep. Ney? Indgenas Affairs Commission
His background working with l. ..
... And that he relied heavily on indgenas ...
... The entire nation, not only to the Tigua.
l identify Bob Ney as chairman of the commission.
And the bill identified was that of electoral reform.
The president recognizes the gentleman from Ohio.
The plan was to add a special provisin ...
... To open the casino of the Tigua ...
... In the draft electoral reform law of Bob Ney.
I am pleased to present ...
... The act of "Help Voting USA. UU." 2002.
Jack Abramoff came personally am on that amendment.
Any lobbyist knows that a deputy dir:
"I will make as it does not destroy the bill."
Get additional clusulas? They get all the time.
Information is added to the bills ...
... They have no influence on l?
All the time.
T his was one of those cases? S.
We know the process ...
... And information is power.
And then there's a bunch of people ...
... That may add an extra measure in a bill ...
... Without many people noticing.
And sa was the importance of President Ney in this process.
Then he was the perfect target for us ...
... To add something at the end of the process ...
... Between cocks and midnight to help our customer.
In fact, it is incredible how little it takes ...
... To be that this influence really begins to move.
You do not talk a lot of money here.
Est people really willing Journalist ...
... To risk their careers for $ 25,000
Or $ 50,000 o. .. or a golf trip.
Jack organized a trip to Scotland.
On the trip we were Jack Abramoff ...
... His son, Congressman Ney ...
... Myself and Ralph Reed ...
... Former executive director of the Christian Coalition.
It was flying in the plane of the company.
If this plane, Ralph Reed told me:
"Jack and I have this deal, blah, blah, blah ...
... And ask you to make an amendment "...
... And add: "Bob, you know this ... it will be illegal ...
... And you can lose your career, "
I s culture will be my answer.
No I have to remember.
What haramos said ...
... I will meet with parliament Scotsman ...
... And also raise funds for a charity for children ...
... You know, playing golf.
Neil Volz said: "Getting to know more about Jack Abramoff."
Was to drink Scotch whiskey, laughter and fun.
I arrived at 100 for the first time on the golf course at St. Andrews.
That was a big deal for me personally.
It was great fun, but it was not working.
I remember back ...
... And just ... importuned me inside ...
... I wondered: "What was that?
Es ..
not even close to being inappropriate ...
O s? I hope it is. "
It was more or less as ...
Tell me that Jack is really the master ...
Somehow ... that finds a way to return the black and white.
Soon afterwards the golf trip ...
Congressman Ney ... Thankfully, a visit ...
... Of the Tiguan in Washington.
We met with Bob Ney and tena a terrible sunburn ...
... Well played golf bean while in Scotland.
We met in his office for hours.
Abramoff asked us not to travel mencionramos the golf ...
... Because it is illegal to talk about taxes, I guess ...
... Or make money in these offices.
We talked about everything from border issues ...
... To our problems and Bob Ney gave us the nod.
Bob Ney clusula incorporates additional information on the casino to the electoral law ...
... But a key senator he refused to play along ...
... And for the Tigua provisin died.
Jack was clearly stunned by the fact ...
... That Bean does not come to the bill.
Organized a conference call.
Ney, the chairman of Commission, spoke to the Tigua ...
... And called me and asked, "What you say Jack?"
And basically was: "DGAL it was not Jack's fault."
In El Paso ...
... The Speaking Rock casino still be sealed for all ...
... Except for 10-cent slots.
I personally take the blame when things happen.
I feel responsible. I was one of the guys ...
... Who pressed hard for this effort in Washington.
I was the one who communicated more with Jack Abramoff ...
... And had the information to the board. How was I did not see this coming?
There is an expression: "A rattlesnake will warn before they attack" ...
Abramoff ... and do not tell us anything.
THE CASTLE OF LETTERS Crumbles
In the "Washington Post" ...
... Reporter Sue Schmidt approached Abramoff.
A week before he left the Article ...
... I went to Greenberg Traurig to talk to themselves.
... Relationship with Mike Scanlon ...
I really wanted to define ...
... His relationship with Mike Scanlon.
I knew that all come up with something.
Basically we recommend these tribes to hire Scanlon?
I'm not talking about Scanlon and their firms.
Have you join one of the other companies of Mike Scanlon?
Really ... really do not think ... no. I have none.
I think that was an association, as it HACA questions ...
... On Scanlon and he was evasive ...
... And deca, you know ...
... Tena his signature a formal relationship with the firm of Scanlon.
They never talk about their "providers" ...
We call a provider.
S not how much Scanlon received or any other provider of services.
It is not our business.
There is an internal memo that says all spent $ 32 million ...
... Lobbying in the last two years.
The money we received from the tribes ...
... Was found in our advocacy program.
And is available openly. Not about the $ 32 million.
And I replied, and I do not want to go more all that ...
So do not talk about that ...
... But I told him that I would write.
It was a Monday morning ...
Article I left ... and the headlines.
On the front page above the fold on the left side.
JACKPOT WITH TRIBAL CASINOS INDGENAS
That gives me the lift baj ...
Notif ... the office ...
... Mir around me and it was different.
It was like entering a wax museum.
And we sat down and just knew ...
... The house of cards crumbled.
How a lobbyist manipulating the odds in your favor
Jack calls a team meeting with all after the article by the "Post."
I was personally very scared ...
... And did the only question for the board.
I said: "Jack, people would make a lot of questions.
What more do you know? "
And he looked at me and said, "It s what we have."
Halla research $ 10 million in payments to lobbyist
After this first article, people began to appear.
I began to hear from people who conocaa Abramoff ...
... That Bean was part of their intimate circle.
Everyone has their own reasons ...
... To expose this.
Deciphering a lobbyist PART OF A FLEET OF CASINOS IN
Abramoff and Scanlon have pleaded guilty to crimes ...
... And began to cooperate with federal prosecutors.
Mr. Scanlon pleads "guilty" ...
... Forcing it to cooperate.
Sources in the authorities say prosecutors focused ...
... Abramoff's relationships with Rep. John Doolittle ...
... And Senator Conrad Burns.
They all deny wrongdoing.
And Abramoff's dealings were not only with Republicans.
The Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid ...
... And Senator Byron Dorgan ...
... Were among two dozen lawmakers ...
... Who received substantial campaign funds from Abramoff clients.
Both deny any connection ...
... And Dorgan said that money back.
When the Commission began this odyssey ATRS some time ...
... I doubt any of us to imagine ...
... The complicated network to be discovered.
Among those which are being investigated ...
... S the former president of the Chamber, Tom DeLay of Texas.
DeLay has not been charged as part of the investigation of Abramoff ...
... But in Texas was charged with attempted rape ...
... The campaign finance laws.
It is only another day at work.
DeLay resigned to Congress in 2006.
Until now, that is in more trouble ...
... Rep. Bob Ney is.
Court documents say that I received ...
... A series of favors and cash ...
... In exchange for helping Abramoff's clients.
In 2005 ...
... I received many calls from deputy to encontrramos us.
We went to dinner, take something ...
... And suddenly Bob makes me aside ...
... And begins to tell me about the research ...
... And SPECIFIC trip to Scotland.
He says: "T were the one who told me ...
... This was approved by the committee of ethics, right? "
And he raised his arms and said:
"On the advice of my attorney, I can not talk to you." I said "What?
We spent three hours ...
Qu? Adnde going with this? "
"Well ... and began to cry and left.
Y s, we Dej a tough message on your answering machine.
Think this is funny ...
... All the shit you did ...
... All the lies told by Jack?
Comic think this is?
I do not think so. Quiz call your lawyers ...
... And tell them the truth ...
... About all the lies you've said.
What's wrong?
End of message.
You know, I was very upset.
I ...
Heaven ...
... Was a very distressing.
Here was the man who gave me an opportunity bean.
l bean been at the center of my universe ...
... For a long period of my life.
l tena a good side ...
... And audience was a hard working staff ...
... To become a caricature bean.
season tickets ...
... If I did things that were wrong? S.
But I think that after Jack Abramoff would prisin ...
... And I went to prisin, people believed that all bean finish ...
... That there were no other member involved in the traffic of influences ...
... That there were no other members involved with Jack Abramoff.
What pile of garbage.
The tribes concerned and the general indgenas ...
... I say they are confident ...
... Est research that is far from over.
I do not think McCain would have done ...
... If I had no idea adnde had just ...
... But knowing there will never be dragged so many other Republicans ...
... At a time trying to get ...
... The Republican nomination for president, eventually.
I think it is completely uncontrolled.
Not entirely full.
Friends McCain lobbyists who helped the Commission ...
... Mysteriously ended indgenas customer ocupndose Jack.
McCain and us the audience to stand as a maverick ...
... Not afraid to tell the truth to the powerful in Washington.
Pregntenle Jack Abramoff if I'm someone powerful in Washington.
They will have to probably go during visiting hours in prison.
And what of Jack Abramoff?
Est sitting in prisin, where only the government's fiscal ...
... Seem to be interested in what they have to say.
His life of bean action film in a documentary made sad ...
... In which, despite their testimony ...
... All the big fish seem to be slipping away.
Perhaps that's why Jack decided to disguise ...
... As a classic Hollywood villain.
Many people try to make Jack look like a gngster ...
... It came and corrupted the system ...
... Because us black hat in his court.
And again the man in the black hat.
It is almost a caricature.
If our adventure is public, I'm fried.
What Jack had been doing ...
... Bean was what was done before.
People should pay more attention to the fact ...
... We have huge special interests in this country ...
... Who have incredible influence in politics.
Since the Abramoff scandal broke ...
... Have enacted several reforms ...
... But the annual amount paid to lobbyists ...
... Has increased by $ 1,000 million ...
... And campaign contributions continue to rise.
In the last 10 years, no one has given more to the congress ...
... The financial sector.
By the campaign cash to Washington ...
... Lawmakers accepted the agenda desregulacin of Wall Street.
Each senator pays attention ...
... Industries with great influence in their states, as they should.
What happens when the state comes to market forces ...
... When the Congress comes to market forces?
What happens? These people do things like ... make it impossible ...
... The regulatory requirements in derivative because that is what Wall Street wants.
Wall Street gets away with it in politics.
Wall Street lobbyists were much more effective than Jack Abramoff.
By giving money to Democrats and Republicans alike ...
... Was paid to the Congress to deregulate the banks ...
... Accounting rules, the limits of prstamo ...
... And the housing market.
It was what the college Republicans soad Haban ...
a capitalist revolution.
Finally they got what they wanted.
Got your deregulated financial markets ...
... And all the topics about collapsed.
A UDS. THE WE SOLD SAVED
CLOSING SALE SALE
SOLD owner - EXECUTION MORTGAGE SALE
The financial catastrophe ... Judgement is for faith in the free market ...
... For all these ideas that our heroes have promoted all these years.
Abramoff and the crisis was only ...
Heck, that was only the beginning.
We lost sight in Washington ...
Is qu ... to Congress ...
... A fifth serves Congress.
He served the people of EE. UU.
But instead, we found that Congress serves ...
... The Chinese owners of maquiladoras, agngsteres Russians.
Congress now serves those interests.
The point is that it has become so accepted ...
... And now is as much a part of our culture, politics ...
... Which is normal.
The average citizen has no voice ...
... That she hoped to have ...
... Because these voices are much more powerful ...
Estn ... and much better funded.
... GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE ...
This is a story of human failure.
I mean ...
I do not think the corruption is a partisan issue.
The corruption that I was involved was a human failure.
It is a question of power.
I came back I just a machine ... a cog in the machine.
Was: "Hey, levntate ...
... Do your thing, get what you deserve. "
Just lose the notion of what brought me here.
Abramoff may not have succeeded ...
... If the system itself was not corrupt ...
... Where the need for money ...
the need for money for members of Congress ...
... Is so fierce and so big ...
... Not have their guard up.
All this has become very troubled by money.
And what do they expect?
S culture is not the solution.
I'll be delighted to have financing public.
"Here 's your money, here is yours.
No need to raise anything. This will remove all ...
... If tuviramos a different system, but now is not as.
No room for bribes and greed ...
... Or lies or compromise of human freedom.
The main principles are not lost once they leave the light.
They are here it.
I think the lesson we should all learn from this is ...
... That the price of a free society, I think ...
... Is to be vigilant about our democracy.
They could only be influenced by Jack Abramoff ...
... And used the money he offers because we allow.
A while ago you mentioned ...
... If Jack is a rotten apple or not or whether all the barrel.
And the obvious answer for me is that the whole barrel.
Abramoff is fascinating to me because he is ...
... Idealism mixed with the corruption of a man ...
ironay layers of the spectacle of it all ...
... And all that paranoid vision of the world ...
... Where everyone is a pen of another person, a great power.
And, of course, he is a pen of the great powers ...
money.
You know, he's not the devil ...
... What is behind them.
The great American pastime has never been the baseball ...
... Has always been to make money.
And Jack Abramoff is a wonderful exponent ...
a defender of the great American pastime in its own way unique.
It's part of American culture, and we all hope ...
... That we who become rich the next few months.
And I think it gives, interestingly ...
... A great advantage to the moneyed interests in our society ...
... Because every time a politician says
"One moment, the rich getting away with it estn;
we will control "...
... A lot of common people say, "No, no, no do ...
Next year ... because being rich ...
... And I want that everything is there when I arrive. "
In January 2010, the Supreme Court ... eliminates all the restrictions
... The campaign spending announcements made by companies.
