The Rethug Senate and Abramoff


Corruption Digest - January 19, 2006

In the 1/19/06 edition of The Corruption Digest, see how one U.S. Senate office that claimed it is not part of the Abramoff federal corruption investigation actually is a target of the probe, according to the Senator's former chief of staff.  Also, see how newspapers have exposed gaping loopholes in both political parties' lobbying/ethics "reform" packages - and how the media is focusing on the fact that neither party is addressing the critical problem: how elections are financed. And be sure to see the "how can they say this with a straight face" section about Grover Norquist and Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), two of the key architects of the GOP's "K Street Project," which is at the center of the corruption scandals.
