This place is killing me today, all of the
threads are talking about associates of Abramoff and who is going to get indicted, No surprise there,
But there is one thing that I have missed or has been absent in my readings and that is:
How many more Lobbyists are gonna go down, and who are they gonna take with them? After all, I keep hearing how "K Street" is the 4th arm of the Government, so if Abramoff is laying "Golden Eggs" heard on NPR won't these eggs lead to more Lobbyists squealing like little pigs. Won't these pigs lead to more pigs, more than the
"possible public figures" that we know about?
Two things I know about pigs is they wallow in their own shit and more importantly in this context is that they always get slaughtered.
But how many more pigs are out their to wallow and to get slaughtered?
look at it from this angle, Abramoff was one of the most connected persons on Capitol Hill, right? Well that means not only is he connected to public officials he is also very connected and very
KNOWLEDGEABLE of what else goes on with K street. HE IS AN EXPERT IN HIS FIELD....
We know Abramoff is gonna sing and get
"Public Officials" indicted, but the question that needs to be asked is how many more of his "K Street" Colleagues were involved in his dealings and what else does he know about that whole 4th arm of the government.
Think about it for him to act completely on his own with no one else knowing what he was up to is crazy, in fact I am betting that he has direct information on other Lobbyists and how they got
"Business" done on K street, more than just "normal dealings in DC" that you alluded to in the above post.
This question is slipping under the
RADAR even though this could be the tip of the ice-berg.
Please tell me that I am not the only one to question this, and if I am why is this not being looked into more?
BTW when everyone finally gets it down the road and we start to read about more and more K Street lobbyists I will pull out more bookmarks on this and ask -
WHY DIDN'T DU pursue this sooner??????
