Hastert dumps Abramoff contributions
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has
distanced himself from $70,000 in campaign contributions linked to
lobbyist Jack Abramoff, by giving it to charity.
Abramoff pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion charges
Tuesday and agreed to cooperate with a federal corruption
investigation in Washington, and Hastert, R-Ill., quickly ordered the
donation, CNN said.
"The speaker believes that while these contributions were legal, it is
appropriate to donate the money to charity," Hastert spokesman Ron
Bonjean said.
Records compiled by the campaign-finance watchdog group Center for
Responsive Politics show about two-thirds of the more than $4.4
million in political donations from Abramoff, his clients and
associates since 1998 went to Republicans, but a search of Federal
Election Commission records found no personal donations from Abramoff
to Democrats.
Last month, Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., told The Washington Post that
he would return $150,000 in contributions from Abramoff, his clients
and associates. He is up for re-election in November, and state
Democrats have been hounding him over his ties to the lobbyist.

Democrats Are Fined $243,000 for Fund-Raising Violations (People's Republic
of China and Clinton)
nytimes ^ | 9/21/2002 | RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
Posted on 09/20/2002 10:14:08 PM PDT by TLBSHOW
Democrats Are Fined $243,000 for Fund-Raising Violations
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 - The Democratic National Committee has agreed to pay
civil fines and turn over to the Treasury a total of $243,000 to settle
accusations that it took more than $1 million in illegal foreign
contributions in 1995 and 1996, according to Federal Election Commission
records released today.
The documents also state that the election commission's general counsel
found in 1999 that there was "reason to believe" that the People's Republic
of China "knowingly and willfully" violated federal election law. But the
heavily redacted documents also state that the commission voted unanimously
to "take no action at this time" on the general counsel's recommendation.
The documents detail efforts by the Democratic Party and the Clinton-Gore
campaign to build their war chest with help from wealthy Asian donors before
the 1996 election. In all, the election commission disclosed $719,500 in
fines today.
The largest fine, $120,000, was paid by the International Buddhist Progress
Society, which operates the Hsi Lai Temple in California, the site of an
April 1996 luncheon attended by Vice President Al Gore. The national
committee paid a $115,000 fine and agreed to turn over to the Treasury
$128,000 it had received in illegal contributions. The Clinton/Gore '96
Primary Committee paid a $2,000 fine, the records also show.
John Huang and Yah Lin Trie, two Democratic fund-raisers who pleaded guilty
to violating federal laws, agreed to pay fines respectively of $95,000 and
$7,000.
The commission also found "probable cause" to believe that Hogan & Hartson,
a Washington law firm, violated election laws in the handling of $50,000 in
donations that a client of the firm made to the national committee in summer
1996. Two officials at the firm who were involved in the handling of the
donations have agreed to pay a total of $67,500.
Representatives of the national committee and for former President Bill
Clinton declined to comment. Officials at Hogan & Hartson did not reply to a
phone message.
After the fund-raising scandal broke in late 1996, the Democratic Party
returned $3 million in questionable or improper contributions, much of it
from money donated or solicited by Mr. Huang or Mr. Trie.
Kent Cooper, a former election commission official who is now at
PoliticalMoneyLine.com, which tracks money in politics, said some fines
disclosed today appear surprisingly low. The election commission, he said,
limited the fines assessed to some people based on their claims that they
could not afford to pay more. "Some people will look at this and say the
F.E.C. should have fined them more," Mr. Cooper said.
He noted, for example, that the election commission waived fines against a
company called Global Resource Management based on the assertions by the
company's president about its "present financial circumstances," the
documents show.
The election commission found that the company, which was formed in Ohio in
1996 to resolve a "construction-related contractual matter" in Saudi Arabia,
decided to make a $100,000 contribution to a national committee fund-raiser
in New York on Aug. 18, 1996. The event was also billed as a 50th birthday
celebration for Mr. Clinton. The company's officers made the contribution in
order to meet with Ray Mabus, the former Mississippi governor and ambassador
to Saudi Arabia, who helped plan the event, the election commission found.
But the money used to make the contribution was provided by Sheik Mohammed
Oboud Al-Amoudi, a Saudi citizen, who wired $150,000 to the company. The
company used this money for the donation "even though its officers had been
informed that foreign national contributions are illegal," the election
commission found.
Mr. Cooper said the documents provided further evidence of the tactics
Democratic operatives used to raise money before the 1996 elections.
"Here, we're dealing with wire transfers and shuffling money to accounts,"
he said. "What is going on here is warning bells are going off all over the
place."

Isn't it funny that whenever a Republican is facing an indictment or
such, the little nut-fluffer apologists are out in force trying to pin
something on Clinton. (Like we give a shit, even if it was true.) In
Retardlican thinking, any behavior can be justified simply due to the
very existence of Bill Clinton. A Republican (say, for example
Cunningham) was guilty of fraud. Response: Clinton got a blowjob.

Clinton's Re-election Road Paved With Money
By Brooks Jackson/CNN
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Feb. 24) -- Bill Clinton said American politics was
being held hostage by big money. And he blamed George Bush.
Clinton said at the 1992 Democratic convention, "He won't break the
stranglehold the special interests have on our elections and the lobbyists
have on our government. But I will."
Candidate Clinton promised reform. No more soft money. No more $100,000
contributions. No more corporate money in campaigns.
But President Clinton raised more soft money than any Democrat in history.
Paving the road to his own re-election with a trail of money, he followed a
trail leading to Buddhist temples and Asian businessmen, to Indonesia,
Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and, possibly, inside the Embassy of China.
Clinton now says, "I think some of these people make honest mistakes."
But they were big mistakes, not just political embarrassments. Laws were
broken.
And dire suspicions are being voiced.
"Selling foreign policy, selling our national security for a price," says
Rep. Gerald Solomon (R-N.Y.). "This is all what this looks like and it's
never been that way."
The FBI has 25 agents on the case full-time. Congress plans a year-long
investigation. How did it happen?
We begin with the president's need
It was 1994. Clinton's popularity was plunging, and Republicans won the
Congress.
Clinton looked finished. He was reduced to saying, in April 1995, "The
president is relevant here."
So in 1995, Clinton launched his comeback with a massive TV ad campaign,
well over a year before Election Day.
The ads worked. Some, such as Dick Morris, say they were crucial.
"Without those ads, Clinton would not have been re-elected," says the
president's disgraced former political strategist.
There was a concerted drive to get money from prosperous Asians, a White
House plan to raise $7 million from them and it was carried out by some of
the president's old friends from Little Rock:
a.. Restaurant owner Charlie Trie, now seeking business deals in mainland
China.
b.. James Riady, an Indonesian businessman who lived for a long time in
Little Rock.
c.. And John Huang, who was once employed by Riady, another friend of
Bill.
Huang, working for the Democratic Party, raised nearly $3.5 million from
Asians. But he was careless of the law.
He brought in $250,000 from a South Korean company, but the contribution was
illegal because the company had no business operations in the U.S.
When reporters exposed that, Democrats gave the money back.
Soon more questions were raised, and more money was returned, including
several checks totaling $450,000 from an Indonesian man and his wife. He was
not a mere "gardener" as some describe him, but in fact a resident of a
mansion in Jakarta.
Also returned: $325,000 raised by Huang from an Indian man with Japanese
business connections but no money of his own.
Huang raised $130,000 in connection with a visit last year by Vice President
Al Gore to a California Buddhist temple, which now markets videos of the
event. Gore says he did not know it was a fund-raiser.
The money was unprecedented. So was the access.
Jorge Cabrera, a convicted drug dealer who gave $20,000, posed with Gore and
later was invited to a White House party. The Democratic National Committee
had stopped making any checks on the backgrounds of donors.
Among those sipping White House coffee with the president was Wang Jun, a
guest of Charlie Trie. Wang Jun heads a Chinese government company that was
later charged with smuggling 2,000 AK-47 automatic rifles into the U.S.
Letting him in the White House was a mistake, the president later admitted.
"We have to do a better job of screening people who come in and out of
here," he said in December.
Another coffee sipper was Pauline Kanchanalak, a Thai businesswoman who
brought five business associates to see the president while arranging more
than $250,000 in donations, later returned.
Others at the White House coffees included a man wanted by Interpol, accused
of fraud in Lebanon. He was a twice-convicted stock swindler, said by the
FBI to have mob ties.
In an elegant Washington hotel, the president dined last July with Jim
Riady, John Huang and three wealthy Taiwanese businessmen, their wives and
children. That intimate dinner raised about $500,000.
Was Washington for sale?
The president says donors got nothing they shouldn't. "What they get from
me, I think, is a respectful hearing if they have some concern about
issues," Clinton says. "I think it's a good thing when contributors care
about the country and have some particular area of expertise they want to
contribute. But nobody buys a guaranteed result."
There are no guarantees, perhaps. But donors do want influence.
One example:
John Huang wrote a memo saying Asian-American donors wanted to maintain an
immigration preference that allows naturalized citizens to bring their
brothers and sisters into the U.S. from their native countries. Huang said
it was their "top priority." The donors later got what they wanted, though
White House officials deny money was the reason.
Now Congress is investigating.
But the price was enormous, and so was Clinton's need for money.
"It started at about a million a week," says Morris, "and ultimately moved
up to little less than two million a week."
It was a total of $85 million, according to Morris -- the most expensive
presidential TV ad campaign in U.S. history.
The president personally approved every ad. And, he personally pitched in --
even turning his own birthday into a fundraiser -- to raise the money.
This time big donors got intimate access, inside the White House. Democratic
party officials selected guests for more than 100 White House coffees, then
often asked the guests for money afterward. Guests gave a total of $27
million. Some even slept overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Abramoff's `Equal Money' Went Mostly to Republicans (Update1)
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President George W. Bush calls indicted lobbyist
Jack Abramoff ``an equal money dispenser'' who helped politicians of both
parties. Campaign donation records show Republicans were a lot more equal
than Democrats.
Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff gave more than $127,000 to Republican
candidates and committees and nothing to Democrats, federal records show. At
the same time, his Indian clients were the only ones among the top 10 tribal
donors in the U.S. to donate more money to Republicans than Democrats.
Bush's comment about Abramoff in a Dec. 14 Fox News interview was aimed at
countering Democratic accusations that Republicans have brought a ``culture
of corruption'' to Washington. Even so, the numbers show that ``Abramoff's
big connections were with the Republicans,'' said Larry Noble, the former
top lawyer for the Federal Election Commission, who directs the
Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics.
``It is somewhat unusual in that most lobbyists try to work with both
Republicans and Democrats, but we're already seeing that Jack Abramoff
doesn't seem to be a usual lobbyist,'' Noble said.
Abramoff, 46, is under investigation by a Justice Department-led task force;
he has already been indicted in Florida in a separate case involving the
purchase of a casino boat company.
Abramoff is talking with prosecutors about providing testimony against
former political and business associates in exchange for a reduced sentence,
the New York Times reported today, citing unidentified people with knowledge
of the case.
`Glass Houses'
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has set up a Web page, dubbed
``Glass Houses,'' featuring pictures of Democratic senators and a tally of
funds they took from Abramoff or his associates.
In the last week, two Democrats have said they're returning donations from
Indian tribes represented by Abramoff and from his associates. Senator Byron
Dorgan of North Dakota -- the top Democrat on a committee investigating the
lobbyist -- gave back $67,000. Senator Max Baucus of Montana is returning
$18,893.
Mostly Republicans
Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff joined with his former partner, Michael
Scanlon, and tribal clients to give money to a third of the members of
Congress, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, according to
records of the Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service. At
least 171 lawmakers got $1.4 million in campaign donations from the group.
Republicans took in most of the money, with 110 lawmakers getting $942,275,
or 66 percent of the total.
Of the top 10 political donors among Indian tribes in that period, three are
former clients of Abramoff and Scanlon: the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of
Michigan, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, and the Agua Caliente
Band of Cahuilla Indians of California. All three gave most of their
donations to Republicans -- by margins of 30 percentage points or more --
while the rest favored Democrats.
Abramoff faces allegations that he bilked the casino-owning tribes out of
millions of dollars and attempted to corrupt public officials. E-mails
released by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee during a year of hearings
offer evidence that he directed the tribes to donate funds to specific
lawmakers.
Continued to Give
Abramoff's tribal clients continued to give money to Democrats even after he
began representing them, although in smaller percentages than in the past.
The Saginaw Chippewas gave $500,500 to Republicans between 2001 and 2004 and
$277,210 to Democrats, according to a review of data compiled by Dwight L.
Morris & Associates, a Bristow, Virginia-based company that tracks
campaign-finance reports. Between 1997 and 2000, the tribe gave just
$158,000 to Republicans and $279,000 to Democrats.
The Republican senatorial committee is sending information out to state
campaigns and to all Republican press secretaries on Capitol Hill about the
Democrat-Abramoff connections, spokesman Brian Nick said. The cover sheet
asks, ``They Don't Know Jack???'' in red ink and features a picture of
Abramoff surrounded by Democrats including Dorgan and Minority Leader Harry
Reid of Nevada.
Reid's Response
Reid spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said the senator is still considering whether
to return the $60,000 in donations he received from Abramoff associates and
clients. The money includes contributions that came from Abramoff's former
employer, Greenberg Traurig LLP, a lobbying and law firm with multiple
issues in Congress.
Bush, in the Fox News interview, said of Abramoff: ``It seems to me that he
was an equal money dispenser, that he was giving money to people in both
political parties.''
White House spokeswoman Erin Healy said yesterday that Bush was making the
point that Abramoff's links weren't exclusively Republican. ``The president
was referring to press reports showing Mr. Abramoff, his clients and
associates have contributed to both Democrats and Republicans alike,'' Healy
said.
``Republicans are bending over backwards to exaggerate the links'' between
Democrats and Abramoff, said Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee. ``This is a Republican scandal that involves
Republican lawmakers doing favors for a Republican lobbyist.''
`Representative No. 1'
Scanlon, Abramoff's former partner, has pleaded guilty to attempted fraud
and corruption of public officials and is cooperating with the Justice
Department's investigation. His plea agreement refers to efforts to corrupt
U.S. lawmakers, including a ``Representative No. 1,'' identified by lawyers
in the case as Ohio Republican Robert Ney.
The other names most frequently mentioned in connection with Abramoff are
both Republicans: DeLay, a one-time friend who has cut off contact with the
lobbyist, and Senator Conrad Burns of Montana. Burns, who is facing
criticism in his home state for being the top recipient of Abramoff-related
donations, said on Dec. 16 he planned to give back to the tribes about
$150,000 in contributions from Abramoff, his associates and tribal clients.
In the Florida case, in which Abramoff has already been indicted,
prosecutors allege that he and partner Adam Kidan conspired to defraud
lenders when buying SunCruz Casino Ltd. in 2000. Kidan pleaded guilty Dec.
15, and his lawyer said he's willing to testify against Abramoff.

It fits. That or "Political Tourettes." Freud would say that they
have mommy issues. There seems to be a lot of castration anxiety in
Republican thinking. They are envious of Clinton's penis.

It's been FOURTEEN YEARS since your quoted words were made -
and FIVE LONG YEARS OF UNENDING WAR AND ECONOMIC LOSS AND MALFEASANCE AND

- get over Clinton, fer Chrissake. It's been the Bush-league era for the

and crony indictments.
( Looking at that, you'd think it was the Reagan years all over again,

You know, I agree with you, no one but no one should ever vote for Bill
Clinton for President again. Now about that republican Congress, you know
the ones who shut down the house ethics comittee...
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
