Contractor caught in bribery scandal claims lawmaker taught him how to
'grease palms'
RAW STORY
A defense contractor implicated in a bribery scandal claims his
hometown congressman taught him how to "grease palms," according to an
article slated for Sunday's edition of The New York Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/06/washington/06wilkes.html?hp&ex=1154836800&en=b811f7519279d9b2&ei=5094&partner=homepage
"In 1992, Brent R. Wilkes rented a suite at the Hyatt Hotel a few
blocks from the Capitol," write David Johnston and David D. Kirkpatrick
for The Times.
"In his briefcase was a stack of envelopes for a half-dozen
congressmen, each packet containing up to $10,000 in checks."
"Mr. Wilkes had set up separate meetings with the lawmakers hoping to
win a government contract, and he planned to punctuate each pitch with
a campaign donation," the article continues.
"But his hometown congressman, Representative Bill Lowery of San Diego,
a Republican, told him that presenting the checks during the sessions
was not how things were done, Mr. Wilkes recalled."
"Instead, Mr. Wilkes said, Mr. Lowery taught him the right way to do
it: hand over the envelope in the hallway outside the suite, at least a
few feet away," The Times reports.
"That was the beginning of a career built on what Mr. Wilkes calls
"transactional lobbying," which made him a rich man but also landed him
in the middle of a criminal investigation."
Excerpts from the Times article:
#
Last November, Mr. Wilkes was described as "co-conspirator No. 1" in a
plea agreement signed by Representative Randy Cunningham, a California
Republican on the House Appropriations Committee.
In the plea deal, Mr. Cunningham admitted accepting more than $2.4
million in cash and gifts from Mr. Wilkes and other contractors.
A former Wilkes associate, Mitchell J. Wade, pleaded guilty to paying
some of the bribes.
....
Speaking publicly for the first time since Mr. Cunningham's plea
agreement, Mr. Wilkes said in recent interviews that he had done
nothing wrong and did not believe that Mr. Lewis and Mr. Lowery had
broken the law. Mr. Wilkes, who has not been charged in the Cunningham
case, has refused prosecutors' appeals to plead guilty.
But Mr. Wilkes acknowledged that he was a willing participant in what
he characterized as a "cutthroat" system in which campaign
contributions were a prerequisite for federal contracts.
"I attempted to get help and advice from people who could show me the
way to do it right," Mr. Wilkes said.
"I played by their rules, and I played to win."
