Re all this Abramoff money being offloaded to charities...

I'd be curious to see the charities getting the money.

Since so many of the fronts for these guys are charities to begin with.

It woudn't surprise me to discover the 'charities' are simply newer fronts. You know how they like to keep the money "in the family".

1. Win win for the cheaters.

They'll give away the dirty money they didn't need in the first place, AND take the tax deduction for charitable donations.

2. I wonder what it will accomplish........

.......I mean, do they think, giving the money back will make them look any less guilty?

6. This thread here could use a little K&R love...

Some of them are giving money back to the tribes, other "returning" it and others giving it to "charity." In some cases the particular charity is listed here:

7. Why won't the representatives of the Tribes take the money back.

Charity begins on some of the reservations.
