People get 15 year sentences for stealing a loaf of bread to feed their children... and Jack seeks redemption and expects the public to swallow this bilge. This man should be sharing the cell with Bernie. This man is evil incarnate!

Interesting, nauseating and completely expected. Sure he's a crook, so are the rest and unlike the rest he got caught. Wonder if he's got any more beans to spill.

He has plenty of beans to spill, but I think we'll find he won't rat out others----it's the unwritten law of silence. However, he will tell about the "legal" corruption where sitting politicians use their position, both during and after their terms to enhance their wealth.

I just want to know how many times he visited george w bush at the white house, release of the information the bush administration feverously blockaded.

Just another Repub crook out for your money. Nothing will damper his arrogance.

I still wonder how he survived the incarceration.  He knows that Atta was on the same boat with him in Florida a year in 2000.  He also said that a lot of congress people are in on insider trading.  If he could just talk!

I saw him on Piers Morgan talking about not being contrite, and still giving cover to Bush. I think he'd do it all again if he could.

Jack, just start singing those names who were/are on the take. You want to put a stop to the corruption, spill the beans; otherwise, you are still enabling them.

Whenever Abramoff talks about the large number of easily corrupted politivians, keep two thing in mind:

A) They are all Repblicans. Abramoff prided himself in ignoring Democrat politicians. His goal was to promote conservative causes and exclusively bribed GOP political hacks (many are easy to spot).

B) Herman Cain was at one time the President of The National Restaurant Association-------LOBBYIST.

I hope he reveals the names of all those his lobbying firm "owned." I want to know the real inside story. That's the only way we can correct this corrupt system.

Abramoff is a monster, I doubt his hard core right wing stripes have changed. His lifelong war against the left may look to have abated some but it is doubtful. His quote regarding progressives "Our job is to remove them from power permanently" is despicable. His support of apartheid regime, Oliver North and the Nicaraguan Contras are just a few reminders who this guy really is. His job was to undermine the democratic system at all costs. A wolf in sheep’s clothing doing anything for a buck now that he is broke.
