especially in light of the fact that new indictments are still coming forth.

McCain Withheld Controversial Abramhoff Email
February 25, 2008 05:21 PM

On the stump, Sen. John McCain often cites his work tackling the excesses of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff as evidence of his sturdy ethical compass.

A little-known document, however, shows that McCain may have taken steps to protect his Republican colleagues from the scope of his investigation.


Specifically, I know he was head of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and he suppressed the release of thousands and thousands of documents related to this investigation. (So much for transparency)

Whoever is the new Democratic head of this committee now - why do they not take steps to release those thousands of documents that McCain supressed?
