A day without Abramoff..
Is like a day without your morning dump while reading the sports page. The Boston Globe goes into more detail about Casino Jacks work as an agent of Russia.
A subpoena in the case, issued this month to an Abramoff associate, says the US government is seeking information on Abramoff-related activities with ''any department, ministry, or office holder or agent of the Russian government." The subpoena, which has not been made public, was given to the Globe by a person who is involved in the case.This is like reading the first chapter of Moby Dick. You know you have only just begun.
Abramoff's work on behalf of Indian tribes has been widely scrutinized, but his work for Russian interests has received far less public notice.
It is legal for foreigners to hire lobbyists, but Abramoff's dealings in this area have come under federal investigation because his fees were so large and because investigators are examining whether he might have bribed members of Congress.
