Report on the Abramoff, Scanlon, Reed, Norquist Investigation
Warning this report is 373 pages long.

It is the detailed report broken down into the dealings of the ReThuglicans attempt at abusing the system. It includes the info on the emails as well. Very interesting read.

1. Friday Dump....all I saw yesterday was "Terra, Terra, Terra."
And pictures of what seemed to be African Americans. Rove's Southern Strategy is now in High Gear. Once he was unmuzzled by investigation the rabid attack dog is out again.

Anyway, I wonder where this will go? If it's covered up by the "Terra Alert" most Americans won't see it. We here on the internets have been following this but Repugs have ways of deep sixing or diffusing any info that would upset their "base cult."

Josh Marshall says Norquist won't be prosecuted. But, why are non-profits allowed to do this kind of stuff? Why isn't it illegal if you are tax free to violate that status when you do active political work and are involved in what would appear to be criminal activities?

2. Here are just a few of the non profits by Scamlon
No longer shall he be known as Scanlon, he hereby shall be known as SCAMLON

If you notice how many have fictitious grassroots by their names and how many of them are supposedly christian groups.

Do you think his past Master BugBoy DeLay had anything to do with that?
Do you suppose that was a rue to get some of the government money Mad king Boy George decided to start doling out to christian organizations?

I guess it is a good thing that it was exposed at all!

American International Center (“AIC”)
a supposed think tank used as to
collect money for services performed
by others and to secretly pay money to
Abramoff

Atlantic Research and Analysis (“ARA”)
a company used to secretly pay money
to Abramoff

Capitol Campaign Strategies (“CCS”)
a grassroots/political consulting firm
that secretly paid money to Abramoff

Christian Action Network
a fictitious grassroots organization

Christian Research Network
a fictitious grassroots organization

Concerned Citizens Against Gaming Expansion (“CCAGE”)
a fictitious grassroots organization

Global Christian Outreach Network
(“GCON”)
a fictitious grassroots organization


Scamlon Capitol Management, LLC
a company used to invest money

Scamlon Gould Public Affairs
a grassroots/political consulting firm
that secretly paid money to Abramoff

Scamlon Venture Capital
a company used to invest money


Those are all very good questions and I don't know the answers.

But Rove is being allowed to campaign out of the White House which if I remember is suppose to be ILLEGAL.
However, they don't have to obey laws. Because they are above the laws, and therefore laws don't apply to them!

So OUR taxes are paying for the GOP's scams and campaigns. I bet if the Democratic Party was involved in these shams we would hear about it 24/7.....
