There was an interesting Bill Moyers segment on the Jack Abramoff scandal on PBS last night.

I'm interested in WHY Senator McCain refused to investigate his fellow legislators, for these crimes as he had a responsibility to do as chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee.

Guess you're unaware of your Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's involvement with Abramoff. Or perhaps just don't care????

"Reid Aided Abramoff Clients, Records Show"

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid wrote at least four letters helpful to Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, and the senator's staff regularly had contact with the disgraced lobbyist's team about legislation affecting other clients.

Tribes gave to Reid after hiring Abramoff

By TONY BATT
STEPHENS WASHINGTON BUREAU


WASHINGTON -- Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada began receiving campaign contributions from at least four American Indian tribes only after they hired Jack Abramoff, Republicans charged this week in an effort to tie the Senate Democratic leader to the disgraced lobbyist.

On Thursday, Reid shrugged off questions about money he received from tribal clients of Abramoff, who pleaded guilty last month to three felonies after being accused of exchanging meals, travel and gifts for political favors.

"I've said that I received money from Indians in the past and will continue to do so," Reid said.

Asked what he would say about tribes who did not give him money until after hiring Abramoff, Reid said, "What I've said all along."

Democrats Also Got Tribal Donations
Abramoff Issue's Fallout May Extend Beyond the GOP

Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and an associate famously collected $82 million in lobbying and public relations fees from six Indian tribes and devoted a lot of their time to trying to persuade Republican lawmakers to act on their clients' behalf.

But Abramoff didn't work just with Republicans. He oversaw a team of two dozen lobbyists at the law firm Greenberg Traurig that included many Democrats. Moreover, the campaign contributions that Abramoff directed from the tribes went to Democratic as well as Republican legislators.

Among the biggest beneficiaries were Capitol Hill's most powerful Democrats, including Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and Harry M. Reid (Nev.), the top two Senate Democrats at the time, Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.), then-leader of the House Democrats, and the two lawmakers in charge of raising funds for their Democratic colleagues in both chambers, according to a Washington Post study. Reid succeeded Daschle as Democratic leader after Daschle lost his Senate seat last November.

I'm betting Bill Moyers sement on PBS did NOT mention any of the above. Am I correct?

Nice try at deflecting JP5, but Reid's not running for president.
